Fair Prospect: Darcy's Dilemma

In the second volume of this three-book retelling of the classic novel, Mr. Darcy has a rival for the hand of his beloved Elizabeth Bennet.

Thrown together by circumstance in London, and with his friend, Bingley, in hot pursuit of the eldest Miss Bennet, Darcy finds his best endeavors to relieve Elizabeth of his unwelcome presence come to naught. As the encounters continue, they seem to be developing a better appreciation of each other, but is there any future for them in the face of their previous misunderstandings, and what of Harington, the man who is deemed a fair prospect for Elizabeth’s hand?

As further evidence arises of a bond existing between the couple, Darcy faces a dilemma: should he remain in Town, or should he make himself scarce? Which decision will lead to the least heartache: to never lay eyes upon Elizabeth again or to watch the woman he loves being courted and wed by another?

Inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Darcy’s Dilemma is the second book in the captivating trilogy reimagining Darcy and Elizabeth’s romance.

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