Fair Prospect: Desperate Measures

In the final volume of this three-book retelling of the classic novel, Elizabeth Bennet follows Darcy to Ireland and confronts her feelings for him.

Reeling from the news of Elizabeth’s engagement to Harington, and desperate to avoid any possible further encounter, as much for the lady’s sake as his own, Darcy seeks distraction, removing to the West Country with his sister and cousin where they prepare to embark on a journey to Dublin.

Elizabeth, meanwhile, is struggling with an inexplicable lowness of spirit following the gentleman’s removal from Town. Fate, however, has unfinished business with them both, and before long the lady is travelling to the West Country herself.

As Darcy strives to leave the past behind, will Elizabeth realize where her heart truly lies and, if so, can she find a way of letting Darcy know her feelings have changed, or is it too late for them both?

Inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Desperate Measures is the third book in a captivating series reimagining Darcy and Elizabeth’s romance.

(Please note: this is one story told across four volumes and there is, therefore, no conclusion to the storylines in the first three volumes)

Cass Grafton

A proud bookworm since childhood, Cass writes the sort of stories she loves to read - heart-warming, character driven and strong on location. Having moved around extensively and lived in three countries, she finds places inspiring and the setting of her novels often becomes as much a part of the story as her characters.

She has an over-active imagination, is prone to crying with happiness as much as she is at sadness, but when it comes to her writing she leans heavily towards the upbeat and insists on a happy ever after. As one of her favourite authors, Jane Austen, once wrote, ‘let other pens dwell on guilt and misery’.

Cass loves travelling, words, cats and wine, and enjoys them in any combination. She currently splits her time between northern England, where she lives with her patient husband and two demanding cats, and her imagination, where she lives with her characters.
