Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What Became of Miss Mary King Miss Mary King was whisked away to Liverpool by her uncle, thus escaping the clutches of Mr. Wickham. What became of the heiress once removed from the fortune-hunting cad that wished to marry her? In Liverpool, she struggles with sadness and regret, battling the memories of what occurred in Meryton and resenting the fortune that made her so gullible a target for the charming rogue that stole her heart. This story completes Mary's saga as she learns to trust and love again.At First Slight What happens when an angry fairy takes offense to Mr. Darcy's insult of one of his favorite mortals? Eros and his bride, Psyche, boasted many names over the eons, but their purpose has always been the same: unite mortals with the potential for love and see them off to their happy endings. Their magic draws them about to the moment possibly lovers are fated to meet. The magic guides them as they aid the couples. But what happens when Eros is angered by Mr. Darcy's cruel words to Elizabeth? He takes matters into his own hands, of course, bumbling and erring the entire way. After acting impulsively, he and his bride must work to correct the course before Elizabeth and Darcy lose their chance at a happy ending forever.A Change of Outcomes What would happen if Lydia Bennet, while snooping in her sister's room, discovered Lizzy's letter from Darcy before going to Brighton? How would her perception of Mr. Wickham's attentions change? Lydia goes to Brighton with eyes wide open, and instead of falling for Mr. Wickham's charm, chooses a steadier path. Her friendship with Harriet Forster takes a different turn, and she sees life and marriage in an entirely new way. But Mr. Wickham seems determined to win her good opinion, much to Lydia's vexation. Will she get her own happy ending, or will she remain the vapid, foolish child she has always been?
