Beyond His Pride: A pride and Prejudice Variation
FITZWILLIAM DARCY WAS meant to arrive at Pemberley as a husband. Instead, he was carried from the wreckage of a shattered carriage, a crash that stole his bride, his future, and very nearly his will to live.
TWO YEARS LATER, the master of Pemberley lives in silence, confined to a Bath chair. His physicians insist that with discipline and determined exercise he might walk again, but Darcy refuses. Walking feels like a mercy he has not earned, and suffering is the only honourable course he believes remains. When duty brings him to Netherfield, he wears his grief like armour, cold and sharp enough to wound anyone who dares approach.
ELIZABETH BENNETH SEES WHAT others do not. Beneath the scowl and cutting words is not arrogance but a man buried under guilt and loss. She does not pity him, and she does not retreat. She challenges him, unsettles him, and refuses to let him disappear into bitterness. But the accident that shattered his world was no simple misfortune, and as long-buried truths begin to surface, Darcy must decide whether he will remain imprisoned by grief or risk his heart and his future for the chance to stand again.
BEYOND HIS PRIDE is a deeply emotional Pride and Prejudice variation about loss, redemption, and the courage to choose life after devastation, with a tender and hard-won happily ever after.
Perfect for fans of Regency romance, enemies to lovers, and Jane Austen-inspired fiction with a happily ever after.

Poignant
A deeply poignant and emotionally charged variation inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice by Newton Pembroke. I liked it.

4.5 rounded up to 5--for overall editing. Is cover AI? Hints of it. Beautiful, special story.

Thoughtful, moving variation
By altering the preexisting two years before the canon autumn of 1811, the author has created a unique and exceptionally moving slow-burn variation. The characters are all depicted clearly, with humor and understanding, and ODC undergo the transformation they deserve.

Very Enchanting
Newton Pembroke has truly written an enjoyable novel, and I am impressed that he took to heart the comments on his first foray, and has truly improved his craft exponentially. The story was truly a nice read, the characters developed, and well worth my time.

I loved this story. It is a great plot with excellent dialogue. It’s a sweet love story which is beautifully told and well written. Darcy and Elizabeth are represented as strong, intelligent people who overcome considerable challenges to find love. Mr Pembroke does himself proud with this one.

Closer to a 4 but I didn't get a lot of feeling from Elizabeth, she just always seemed so chill. Steady is good, but I could have used a little fire.
