All the Best Parts of Beauty

All the Best Parts of Beauty is a collection of Pride and Prejudice variations based on the premise: “What if Darcy and Elizabeth’s first meeting was not in Hertfordshire?” The featured stories are A Lasting Love Affair, Only a Heartbeat Away, Impertinent Strangers, and By Reason, by Reflection, by Everything.

About the Featured Stories:

Impertinent Strangers — A first meeting that takes place in Kent. Imagine Darcy and Elizabeth falling in love right under Lady Catherine’s watchful eye.

A Lasting Love Affair — Darcy meets and falls in love with Elizabeth in a place far, far away from Hertfordshire and long before he meets any of her family.

Only a Heartbeat Away — This first meeting occurs in London! Elizabeth missed meeting Mr. Darcy at the Meryton assembly. Based on all she had heard of the proud man, Elizabeth could hardly wait to make his acquaintance.

By Reason, by Reflection, by Everything — Darcy and Elizabeth meet in Derbyshire. While he is destined for one sister, he is bewitched by the other.

Author’s Note: As a special bonus, Pride and Sensuality is also included. This delectable tale follows Darcy and Elizabeth in the days and nights leading up to their wedding. It’s not a “first meeting not in Hertfordshire” story, but there’s chocolate.

And who doesn’t love chocolate?

Be it friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, love at first sight, or slow-burning romance, there’s something in store for everyone to love.
