Mr. Darcy's Bargain

A Pride and Prejudice Vagary

Darcy and Elizabeth are about to learn how “necessity” never makes a fair bargain.

When ELIZABETH BENNET appears on his doorstep some ten months after her refusal of his hand in marriage, FITZWILLIAM DARCY uses the opportunity to "bargain" for her acceptance of a renewal of his proposal in exchange for his assistance in bringing Mr. George Wickham to justice. In Darcy's absence from Hertfordshire, Wickham has executed a scam to defraud the citizens of Meryton, including her father, of their hard-earned funds. All have invested in Wickham's Ten Percent Annuity scheme. Her family and friends are in dire circumstances, and more importantly, Mr. Bennet's heart has taken an ill turn.

Elizabeth will risk everything to bring her father to health again and to save her friends from destitution; yet, is she willing to risk her heart? She places her trust in Darcy's ability to thwart Wickham's manipulations, but she is not aware that Darcy wishes more than her acquiescence. He desires her love. Neither considers what will happen if he does not succeed in bringing Mr. Wickham before a magistrate. Will his failure bring an end to their “bargain”? Or will true love prevail?

Overlook Virtual Voice for story is more than worthwhile….

Concept, Lizzie’s desperation for help, realizing Mr Darcy was the Savior of their predicament. The meeting of the minds suddenly opening all the possibilities of a true success & a way of.acknowledging their true feelings upon examination.

Too much Wickham, not enough ODC

Not enough of a love story. It was okay, but not noteworthy. I didn’t like how the Bennet sisters referred to their parents as Mr and Mrs Bennet, even when at home alone. Sometimes hard to follow who was speaking especially with virtual voice. I liked Mrs Gardiner.

Great story

This story had a bit of a mystery to it. And Elizabeth needed mr Darcy’s help. She and her uncle goes to mr Darcy after her refusal in Kent. He bargained with her. If his help was required she was to marry him. Great start. Great Jaff.

Lizzy drove me crazy

The story was good and romantic but as it got towards the end Lizzy was not in character and was more of a neurotic shrew. It was hard for me to finish.

Elizabeth is stupid

Why can’t Elizabeth be normal just every now and then? She over dramatized everything in this story
