JAFF retelling FREE on 11th December, 2019!
11 DecHere’s the ultimate dystopian scenario. What if the beloved Darcy we know had been just a little less strong-minded and less independent of the social constraints that would have prevented him from marrying Elizabeth? And what if Elizabeth — herself very strong-minded and perhaps resentful of attempts to interfere with her sister’s happiness — had reacted to Darcy’s tender of an offer… well, very differently? Be prepared for the unsweetened sentiments expressed in this retelling of a vital scene in Jane Austen’s immortal classic!
And it’s free to download on 11th December, 2019, starting at 12 a.m. PST, for just one day!
