Romance Historical

In this sexy Jane Austen sequel, Elizabeth Bennet accepts Mr. Darcy's first marriage proposal, answering the "What if...?" question fans everywhere have pondered

"I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry."

Famous last words indeed! Elizabeth Bennet's furious response to Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal has resonated for generations of readers. But what if she had never said it? Would she have learned to recognize Mr. Darcy's admirable qualities on her own? Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy follows Elizabeth and Darcy as they struggle to find their way through the maze of their prejudices after Elizabeth, against her better judgment, agrees to marry Darcy instead of refusing his proposal.

Two of the most beloved characters in English literature explore the meaning of true love in a tumultuous and passionate attempt to make a success of their marriage.

Wow, what a busy life! So glad that you find the time to write such awesome material.
(Joanne Reynolds 6:29am January 11, 2010)

I envy anyone who can write a book. I'm glad you are able to get away and write and enjoy it as well. I can barely write a letter to friends ok lets say a long email LOL
(Shirley Kulesza 7:28am January 11, 2010)

Book sounds like a great read.
(Sherry Russell 9:57am January 11, 2010)

wow woman you have your plate full. Keep up the good work but you should probably tell your kids it's ok to interupt if something is broken lol
(Jennifer Mathis 10:36am January 11, 2010)

Having worked in a school for boys with ASD and then counselling teenage girls, I don't envy you lol. I like the idea of chocolate mousse cake to inspire you tho - I'll share if you're offering.
(Sarah Keery 11:25am January 11, 2010)

Chocolate Mousse Cake makes everything easier!! I'm still amazed by how busy you are yet how much you can accomplish! I tweeted your contest, so hopefully you get lots of traffic!
(Laura Lanemann 11:41am January 11, 2010)

It seems all authors are so busy, I don't know how they manage! Your book sound awesome!
(Gail Hurt 11:42am January 11, 2010)

What a wonderful column! Thanks for sharing.
(G S Moch 12:26pm January 11, 2010)

I wish I could write. I've always dreamed of it, but I'll leave it to those who can! ;)
(Kelli Jo Calvert 12:36pm January 11, 2010)

Oh, I'm looking forward to this sequel of Austen's beloved couple.
(Armenia Fox 12:57pm January 11, 2010)

Wow - that sounds exhausting. Sounds like you don't waste a minute of your life.
(Vikki Parman 12:59pm January 11, 2010)

I'd have to give this a try. I made the mistake of reading Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, and it made Austen books a turn off for me. I would like to get turned back on though.
(Freda Mans-Labianca 1:05pm January 11, 2010)

Busy Bee... so much going on, I would be exhausted...
(Colleen Conklin 1:08pm January 11, 2010)

Can't wait to get my hands on it!
(Lisa Richards 1:32pm January 11, 2010)

OK! WHEW! I am exhausted just reading about your routine! Now I really have no excuse for not writing LOL!!! Hope your staying toasty warm! we are neighbors, well sort of I am in Minnesota! Eeeks please don't throw anything at me, I am not A Brett Farve fan! LOL!
(Jane Lange 2:20pm January 11, 2010)

With a schedule like that,makes this reader appreciate the book eve more.
(Leni Kaye 2:44pm January 11, 2010)

Being a parent myself, I have a great deal of respect for anyone who can somehow make time to write as well. Thank you for your post. Your book sounds like one I would enjoy reading.
(Cherie Japp 3:42pm January 11, 2010)

As crazy-busy as your life sounds, it also sounds like it somehow suits you. It certainly gave you the creative spark to write.
(Michelle St. James 5:35pm January 11, 2010)

Thank you for the fabulous insight. I am a massive Jane Austen fan as well.
(Mary Preston 6:47pm January 11, 2010)

I like what I read here. Also I like the fact you are a doctor. I give my Arthritis Specialist and my PCP doctor and staff books to read since learning we all enjoy same type of books.
I also love Jane Austen books.
(Jane Squires 11:57pm January 11, 2010)

spend it here with us!

I'm just wondering what her "muse" is! I always like a chance to read an author I haven't before! Thanks!
(Ula Longtin 7:31am January 12, 2010)

WoW! You are like a human whirlwind...you are my new hero! lol
(Dawn Raymer 11:07am January 12, 2010)

P&P is one of those books you can read over and over again. I'd love to be able to read the story from a new angle.
(Angela Hoagland 11:59am January 12, 2010)

Darcy....is my favorite man/character and love reading anything about him. keep writing. I hope your muse does not go on a Holiday agin without you. Best Wishes for the year.

This book sounds fasinating. I like Jane also and I believe this book would be a great read. Sorry I did not get this in sooner but continue your great writing.

What a great post, Abigail!! Congrats on the release of another wonderful novel :). Can't wait to read it!
(Marilyn Brant 2:23pm January 13, 2010)

This book was really well written and I felt that the book did a great job of describing the differences in how Elizabeth and Darcy might have misinterpreted things causing problems to arise and how they finally work things out. This book was a very interesting read that I enjoyed reading.
