    Summary

    "You do not think very highly of me, Miss Bennett. I must say I am surprised you have come to my door, but I have little idea of what you want from me."

    Elizabeth opened her mouth, then closed it again. Her heart beat furiously in her chest, and she was acutely aware of her own breath, which seemed to come in short gasps. "I am with child, Mr. Darcy." She couldn't look at him, couldn't bear to uncover his reaction to the news. "I didn't know what else to do."

    ***

    A passionate ending to the rejected proposal at Hunsford leads to unsought complications: a child. With no other options, Elizabeth seeks out Mr. Darcy.

    Summary

    Anne Elliot is called to Bath following the death of her father. Unwilling to ask her sisters for help and bereft of a position after the death of her employer, an unexpected windfall gives her the latitude to do something she hasn't done in years: what she wants. As she settles into Lyme society, dodges offers from her cousin to "manage her finances," and makes new friends, Anne rediscovers who she is without the demands of others on her shoulder. She's not about to let anyone interfere with her newfound serenity, not even an old flame.
    Or: The Crofts never rented Kellynch so Anne and Wentworth never met up again. At thirty-three, Anne finally has the money to decide her own future. Fate hasn't given up on her though and it's only a matter of time before Wentworth returns.
