Obstinate Headstrong Girl is a three-book collection of alternate paths to romance for Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
Irresistibly Alone
Fitzwilliam Darcy regretted insulting Elizabeth Bennet, but not enough to apologise. After all, raising the hopes of such an ineligible young lady would be improper and unkind. That he not only discovers Elizabeth’s future is tragically decided, but also begins to see a depth of grace and courage in her that he has never known in another. He realizes he cannot possibly abandon her even though he knows he must leave her alone.
Nameless
Orphaned and alone, Elizabeth Bennet has found reasonable contentment as a companion to the Dowager Countess of Matlock when the past intrudes upon her. Mr Darcy returns to her, handsome, wealthy, and widowed, and still wants to marry her. Not until they arrive at his vast estate does she realise how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their growing love.
A Stronger Impulse
An apoplectic Darcy and an Elizabeth who has been cast out from her family. How can two powerless individuals forge a defence against the formidable forces arrayed against them? Darcy cannot afford to indulge himself in a marriage that would prove his relations’ opinions of his sanity. Elizabeth must protect herself against a growing but impossible love…and yet, a stronger impulse urges them to stay. To fight. Together.
