    Summary

    When twenty-two-year-old Charlotte Heywood accepts an au pair position in Martha’s Vineyard, she’s looking for summer adventure before starting her teaching career. She’s not prepared for Xander Colbourne—thirty-two, divorced, devastatingly attractive, and determined to maintain professional distance despite the tension crackling between them from the moment they meet.
    Xander knows hiring Charlotte is a mistake. She’s too young, too vibrant, too everything he’s been trying not to want since his marriage imploded. But his daughter Leo needs her warmth and enthusiasm, so he tells himself he can control his attraction...

    A multichapter modern AU that unfolds across a beautiful New England summer and fall

    Summary

    Water and Salt
    A Pride and Prejudice Dark Variation
    Second book in a duology — first installment: A Peculiar Offer

    Hiding in a remote corner of Cornwall had been the only way to escape him, their arrangement, and London gossip. A place to start over and build a future beneath a name not hers.
    Elizabeth knew it would not be easy. Or last.
    Especially if Darcy refuses to let go, certain he is entitled to have her back.
    The past is not always willing to stay buried.
    Some wounds heal. Others do not.

    This novel is a sequel, so readers are strongly advised to follow the publication order and read A Peculiar Offer first.

    Content Warning: Mature themes and explicit sexual scenes within a coercive arrangement. Intended for adult readers only (18+).

    Summary

    What if Elizabeth Bennet had met not a romantic hero, but a less idealised representative of his privileged class and era?

    Fitzwilliam Darcy here does not follow his canonical redemption arc by choosing to learn better. He has wealth and power, and uses both without scruples.

    The social context of early nineteenth-century England was often harsh for the most vulnerable, including women. Their options were cruelly limited by law, custom, and economic dependency, especially when opposed to ruthless men of consequence.

    Not every story ends where you expect. Sometimes the villain stays a villain.

    Content includes themes of explicit, coerced intimacy, emotional manipulation, and morally ambiguous behaviour. Please read with care.

    Intended for adult readers (18+).

    This novel is complete. A new chapter will be posted weekly, usually on Mondays or Fridays.

    Summary

    Story summary: Rosings Park was left to Anne de Bourgh when Sir Lewis de Bourgh passed. With Anne is facing her own death, she arranges a nefarious scheme to allow her mother to stay at Rosings while giving Elizabeth independence.

    EB&FD will end up with a HEA, but this is not a story for everyone. Most of the major themes in this story come from history, people I've known, or things the author has experienced.

    This story was originally published in 2016 as "Lady Catherine Heading for the Hedgerows". It was taken down at the start of 2019. It was restarted in April of 2020. See Ch 1 for a more detailed description of what happened. I am now back to reposting the stories for your enjoyment. I will be posting at least 1 chapter a week.

    This story is 39 chapters with the last 3 being an epilogue and bonus content.

    Enjoy.
