Netherfield's New Master

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

What if Darcy was the one leasing Netherfield?

When renovations at Pemberley force Fitzwilliam Darcy to lease Netherfield Park for the season, he expects nothing more than temporary refuge from London society. What he doesn't expect is to encounter a pair of fine dark eyes belonging to a spirited young woman who seems utterly unimpressed by his wealth and consequence.

Elizabeth Bennet forms an instant dislike of the proud, disagreeable gentleman who dismisses her as "tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt" him at the Meryton assembly. But when chance encounters on her daily walks reveal glimpses of kindness beneath his reserved exterior, she begins to question her hasty judgment.

A fresh reimagining of Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice, where the journey from enemies to lovers unfolds against the backdrop of a single transformative season that changes everything.
