Strangers and Second Chances

A new arrival in Meryton brings romance - and rivalry

In the absence of their Netherfield friends, Elizabeth and Jane Bennet are thrilled to make a new acquaintance - Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam, who instantly wins Jane's heart and gives Elizabeth the new goal of seeing her sister finally settled.

Fitzwilliam Darcy ought to rejoice in his cousin's new romance, but he finds himself caught between family and friendship - and once more at odds with Elizabeth Bennet, to the detriment of his own happiness. With duels, disasters and determined opposition from all quarters, can love ever truly triumph?

Strangers and Second Chances is a retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and was originally published in three separate volumes.
