Franchise & Follies: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Cinnamon Worth
A reputation, once disgraced, will seldom recover. Perhaps, it would be better to avoid questions entirely—even if it means engaging in deceit.


Though forced to quietly sell Pemberley, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy has successfully concealed his late father’s debts and recovered much of the family fortune by discretely building a shipping empire. When Mr. Darcy returns to London, he conducts business under a pseudonym and meets a lovely young lady named Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Mr. Darcy cannot remember being so partial to any other woman of his acquaintance. Of course, since he cannot court Miss Elizabeth under such a pretense, Mr. Darcy retreats to his friend’s country estate, Netherfield. His heart, however, remains in London, with a pair of fine brown eyes…


Eager to delay an impending proposal of marriage, Miss Elizabeth Bennet is staying with relatives in the city. After a chance meeting with a handsome and cultured merchant named William McCain, the idea of matrimony is decidedly less unpleasant.

Unfortunately, the object of Elizabeth’s growing affection vanishes, and she soon travels home without an alternative to her local suitor. But when she visits her sister and her brother-in-law, Elizabeth is in for the shock of her life. Not only is the man she admires alive and well, but he is staying at Netherfield… under an entirely different name.

Elizabeth intends to sort out who is the real Mr. Darcy: the polite but private businessman, or the cold, aloof creature at Netherfield. Mr. Darcy faces an unenviable choice: lie and protect the life he’s fought hard to save, or tell her the truth—and risk ruination.


FRANCHISE AND FOLLIES: A PRIDE & PREJUDICE VARIATION is a clean romance with Jane Austen’s favorite beloved characters.
