Frederick Wentworth, Captain by Susan Kaye

None But You  - PG-13

In the summer of 1806, the brilliant and headstrong Commander Frederick Wentworth proposed to Anne Elliot. Her acceptance soon became a rejection on the grounds that he had nothing to recommend himself but his spirit, confidence and brilliance. He has now returned to Somerset, rich and with a taste to marry. "None But You" is Persuasion from the decidedly male point-of-view of its hero, Captain Frederick Wentworth.


 

An Invitation to the Dance byyJulie C.

R - Mature audiences only. - Lizzy Bennet owns her own home, has a great job, and a close circle of friends and family. Apart from her mother nagging her to find a man, life is pretty damn perfect. When she grudgingly accepts an invitation to a Ball at the nearby Officers' Mess, she meets Richard Fitzwilliam, career soldier and confirmed bachelor, and almost before she knows it she's on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of military life. Enter Guy Darcy, high-flying property developer, charming man-about-town...and Richard's cousin.

Two different men...two very different lifestyles...one confused young woman.



A Soul Unsatisfied by Julie C.

R - Mature audiences only. - Rated R. Mature audiences only. Login required.

Major Richard Fitzwilliam is a practical, pragmatic man, happy with his lot in life and with a promising military career stretching before him, when a series of haunting dreams and visions of a beautiful woman throw him thoroughly off-balance. Convinced that there must be a connection between the dreams and his family history, he sets out to find out more, firmly believing that if he can solve the mystery of the woman’s identity and story the dreams will stop. His search leads him to Longbourn University and to Professor Rob Bennet whose daughter, Elizabeth, bears a startling resemblance to the woman in his dreams. Struggling with an attraction to Elizabeth and with a growing sense of his own powerlessness, Richard finds that his neat, ordered world is slowly turning upside down.
