He nodded. “I’m counting the days, my love. And I’m happy that Will is content with the nursemaids so that you are not so busy in the nursery.”
“I’m sorry we did not get longer together before he was born, William. It was very remiss of me.”
His chuckle rumbled through her. “I think I might have been equally at fault. And it was over a year. It just seems to have gone very quickly.”
“It is proof, perhaps, of our happiness, that the time seems to have passed so speedily.” Her murmur was quiet. “I enjoy each day to the full, yet I find myself longing for the time we have alone in our chamber at night. It is the best time of all.”
He tipped her face up to his, the features so familiar and his expression so dear to her. Love flared in his dark eyes.
“I love you more each day, dearest Elizabeth.”

Darcy, the Duke
Darcy stood over his aunt. “You didn’t send Miss Bennet to Matlock. And you didn’t tell me. Tell me now,” his voice broke, “…tell me you didn’t put her out on the street.”

‘The Diverse Lives of Fitzwilliam Darcy’ is a series of quick-read novellas exploring what might happen if Elizabeth and Darcy had different backgrounds to that of the original book. Will their love shine as brightly as ever?
* * *
The year is 1810. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Duke of Portland, doesn’t expect to find love, expecting to make a dutiful marriage in due course. He certainly doesn’t expect to fall for a penniless and hungry orphan on the streets of London.

Elizabeth Bennet has no intention of becoming a burden to anyone. She has to trust herself — in her experience, no one else is trustworthy.
Circumstances have driven her to desperation. However, a handsome aristocrat always seems to be there. But she knows his family will ensure she cannot be found. What’s going to happen to her?
