A Command Performance — Susannah Barton

During their tour of the north country, Elizabeth Bennet did not expect that her aunt would surprise her with a visit to the great estate of Pemberley... of all the places in Derbyshire, there could not be any other that Elizabeth would rather avoid. But visit she must, and even though the housekeeper promises that there will be no one at home for their tour, Elizabeth is confronted by the very gentleman she has vowed never to speak to again as long as she lives. But Fitzwilliam Darcy seems a changed man, and Elizabeth cannot help but wonder if she has been mistaken about the character of the most disagreeable gentleman of her acquaintance. While staying at the Lambton Inn, an invitation arrives for a salon to be hosted by Miss Georgiana Darcy--and invitation that cannot be refused. But while Elizabeth labors over an accomplishment to present to the other ladies of the salon, she finds that her thoughts are preoccupied with the dark eyes and hesitant smile of one Fitzwilliam Darcy, and the plight of the heroine of her favorite Shakespearean play.   Like Shakespeare's Beatrice and Benedick, might the very deepest love be hiding behind something that Elizabeth has never considered... that her own pride might be standing in the way of what she wants most in life... A Command Performance is a sensual and steamy Pride and Prejudice variation that is best enjoyed by those over 18 years of age.
