Deconstructing Mr Darcy

I love writing about Mr Darcy. He's my favourite character in all of literature.

And yes, I know what you're thinking...



Because when I tell people that I love the character Mr Darcy, they immediately think of this guy...



... and this guy...



But even though that's all very nice, it's not actually what I mean when I claim him as my favourite literary character. If you want to know my incorrigibly nerdy reasons for loving him, click here to see my Tumblr post about it.

A New Year - A New Pride and Prejudice Variation :)

I'm really excited to be able to share this - my new P&P variation is available now!



This one is set before the Netherfield Ball. There's a rumour going around, which ties Elizabeth Bennet to the man she hates the most in the world. Soon it's beyond anybody's control and you can probably guess what has to happen next...



As Mr Darcy's betrothed, Elizabeth travels to London and there she is forced to spend much more time with him. Soon she is forced to admit that he not all bad...

But meanwhile she also learns more about his family, old buried secrets and gets entangled in an affair that threatens to undo all!

It's going to get sexy and it's going to get dangerous :)

You can get it now:

Amazon UK

What is happening to Stranded with Mr Darcy and Mr Darcy's Vice

This is a quick update about what's happening with my two novels. They are currently no longer available to purchase, as Hannah House Publishing ceased operations. I will try and get them back online as soon as possible, but it will take a few weeks as I get the rights back and get them ready for republication.
