Fine Eyes & Beastly Pride

In this Pride & Prejudice variation, Elizabeth Bennet’s desperate journey to save her father's life leads to a forced marriage with the reclusive and scarred Mr. Darcy. Will the beauty with fine eyes be able to tame the man with beastly pride?

All Elizabeth Bennet wants is for her father to bring back from Lambton a cutting of Pemberley’s famous roses. Little does she know that her humble request leads to her father’s imprisonment, putting both her father’s life and her childhood home of Longbourn at risk.

All Fitzwilliam Darcy wishes for is to be left alone. Scarred by a horrific attack, he has retreated into the solitude of Pemberley, guarding his heart as fiercely as he guards the walls of his grand estate, doing whatever he can to drown out the pain. When Elizabeth arrives on his doorstep, desperate to save her father, their worlds collide in unexpected ways.

In this captivating retelling of Pride & Prejudice, Elizabeth and Darcy navigate a web of secrets, sacrifices, and misunderstandings. Will Elizabeth’s fine eyes soften Darcy’s beastly pride? Can two people so different find a way to heal their hearts and build a future together?

Fine Eyes & Beastly Pride is a Beauty and the Beast variation on Jane Austen's most famous work—without the magic and with an arranged, forced marriage. Trigger warning: substance abuse and minor violence (not between our dear couple, Darcy & Elizabeth).
