Books: P&P Variations
"Until my Last Breath"
A PRIDE AND PREJUDICE VARIATION
2nd edition fully revised and edited
This thrilling new Pride and Prejudice variation will take you far beyond the events of Jane Austen’s novel, hurling Mr Darcy and Miss Elizabeth into a dramatic adventure neither could ever have imagined.
After his unfortunate marriage proposal, Darcy writes Elizabeth a letter and, in his attempt to hand it to her, everything changes – both of them are kidnapped. In just a few days, Elizabeth finds herself floundering in fear, loneliness and despair, facing a terrible future at the hands of heartless mercenaries, while Darcy, injured, is left behind.
Determined to save the lady who holds his heart, Darcy embarks on an uncertain journey to rescue Elizabeth. Together with his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, he discovers the power of love, friendship and trust, which goes beyond any familial connection.
In this romantic, dramatic adventure, involving sea travels, mercenary pirates and bloody fights able to determine life or death, Darcy and Elizabeth come to realise that they must never let hope die. Hope and their mutual love are all they have to keep them alive.
Until their last breath.
Extract
Richard was now very curious about how Darcy had managed to bear the journey from London to Portsmouth in his present condition.
Darcy chuckled at his enquiries. “Richard, you know me well enough to guess I could not stay back when so much is at stake; when Elizabeth’s life is in such danger.” He looked around and all eyes were on him. He became serious again. “They say that love and hate are the two most powerful forces to move a man. I can guarantee you all, I have plenty of both.”

4.04 in Goodreads.com!*
I want to thank all the readers who gave themselves the trouble of writing a review and happily announce that this second edition has the invaluable contribution of Regina McCaughey-Silvia as my new editor. Regina has been editing 'Pride and Prejudice' variations for the last seven years and among her works are the best-rated stories we all love. Unfortunately, the first version was poorly revised by the former copyeditor and most of my bad reviews were complaints about the poor English more than the story itself. But, despite the many errors in the first edition, the average rating in Goodreads.com is 4.04 out of 5! Not bad at all!
Until my Last Breath is not just a romantic story about wrong first impressions, forgiveness, love and sacrifices; it is a story about strong friendships and courage, with an astonishing happy ending.
I hope the new readers can enjoy this story, now without the distraction of so many errors.
