Hawthorn and Silver Birch: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Family Matters Series)

I assure you, what I want is to be where you are. Hidden behind a hawthorn tree in Dublin's Merrion Square, Elizabeth Bennet overhears a gentleman coldly calculating the requirements for his future wife: excellent connexions, a large dowry, and an earl's daughter for a mother. His mercenary words make her blood boil—and ensure that when they're formally introduced, she has already decided that Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy is the last man she could ever admire

But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Thrown together for weeks in the Emerald Isle, Elizabeth discovers that the proud, disagreeable Mr. Darcy is far more compelling than she wishes him to be. Just when her heart begins to soften, he makes a devastating assumption about her circumstances that shatters any possibility of understanding between them.
Months later in England, Darcy appears at her door with apologies and explanations—and a confession that changes everything. But can Elizabeth trust a man who has wounded her twice? And can Darcy prove that the heart he once guarded so carefully now belongs entirely to her?

For readers who love their Darcy groveling, their Elizabeth fierce, and their romance sweeping—set against the magic and mystery of Ireland in the regency era.
