Stand & Deliver Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
By Nora Day
[US + UK] Elizabeth Bennet never meant to become a highwaywoman. But when Mr Collins arrived to propose, armed with Lady Catherine’s “instructions” and her mother’s shrill approval, Elizabeth did the only sensible thing. She ran away
Now she roams the king’s road beneath a stolen cloak, pistol in hand, living with more freedom than she ever dreamed. No tedious parlour visits. No embroidery and definitely no Mr Collins.

[US + UK] Elizabeth Bennet never meant to become a highwaywoman. But when Mr Collins arrived to propose, armed with Lady Catherine’s “instructions” and her mother’s shrill approval, Elizabeth did the only sensible thing. She ran away
Now she roams the king’s road beneath a stolen cloak, pistol in hand, living with more freedom than she ever dreamed. No tedious parlour visits. No embroidery and definitely no Mr Collins.
Unfortunately, she did accidentally rob Fitzwilliam Darcy, and the man refuses to let it go. Elizabeth wishes he would stay in London like a proper gentleman, but no, Mr Darcy keeps appearing wherever she rides, determined to lecture her, protect her, or marry her. She cannot decide which is worse.
Darcy has faced down scheming debutantes and predatory fortune-hunters. But never a woman who stole both his horse and his peace of mind. Very well. If Elizabeth Bennet insists on being an outlaw, he will outwit her at her own game. He sends letters meant for her to intercept. Orders carriages, he knows she’ll raid. Lures her with bait only she will recognise.
She thinks she can outrun him.
He thinks she will eventually surrender.
Neither of them suspects just how dangerous this little courtship has become…
Runaway rebellion, reluctant romance, and ridiculous levels of Darcy Persistence await in this wildly fun Pride and Prejudice variation. Saddle up... the road to love is most improper indeed!
