Passion and Persistence: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
What if Mr. Darcy refused to walk away?
In this emotionally rich and clean Regency romance, Mr. Darcy does not surrender to rejection. After the disastrous Hunsford proposal, instead of retreating, he chooses to fight for the woman he loves. With clarity, humility, and renewed purpose, he returns to Hertfordshire—not by chance, but by design.
Elizabeth Bennet is not the same woman she was in Kent. As Darcy steadily reclaims her trust through thoughtful actions and growing respect, she is forced to reevaluate everything she believed about him—and herself.
From the author of Dear Sir and More Discerning, this Pride and Prejudice retelling reimagines the beloved story with powerful emotional turns, slow-burn romance, and character-driven evolution.
Perfect for fans of:
Jane Austen fan fiction
Second-chance love stories
Friends-to-lovers transformations
Clean historical romance with depth
Will Elizabeth learn to trust again? Will Darcy’s persistence win her heart?
Rediscover Austen’s world—this time with a hero who will not let go.
Scroll up and get your copy of Passion and Persistence today—an unforgettable journey through love, pride, and the power of never giving up.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy meets Miss Elizabeth Bennet, his heart is almost immediately engaged. Seeing the pretty lady before him, a lady of no consequence or fortune, he believes he should not form an attachment to her, unsuitable as such a woman is to be his wife.

Amongst her family and friends, Miss Elizabeth Bennet is known not just as a great walker and a great reader but also as a talented artist; but drawing is an activity in which she has rarely indulged in recent years. However, when her heart is filled with a hopeless, ardent love for the man she once rejected, there is little else she can do to palliate her secret grief — except draw the portrait of the man she once deemed the last in the world she could marry.
