About this title

Synopsis

When the wealthy and handsome Fitzwilliam Darcy encounters the beautiful and lively Elizabeth Bennet at a small country ball, he loudly refuses to dance with her, declaring her to be merely tolerable. Fortunately for Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth has walked away and does not overhear his insult, thus snagging the thread that would have sealed her prejudice against the prideful stranger. Unexpectedly, circumstances thrust Elizabeth into the same household as Mr. Darcy, and her proximity unwittingly proves tempting, as her tantalizing wit and playfulness evoke desires that threaten to unravel his resolve against her. In this delightful re-imagining of Jane Austen's beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice, the players are the same, but the rules have changed as the dance between Darcy and Lizzy unfolds.

From the Author

The foundation of One Thread Pulled was laid on the unexpected luxury of spare time.  In mid-October 2010, my 40-hours per week job was slashed to 10 hours per week.  I started to do a lot of reading, and came across the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction.  After reading several excellent works, the question came to me: What if Elizabeth did not hear Mr. Darcy insult her?  And then, I could not rest until I began to write, and the story unfolded from there.It soon became clear that this story does not end with their engagement (we all know that many romance novels conclude at precisely that moment.)  No, the events of Darcy and Elizabeth's engagement period could not be adequately told, at least not satisfactorily told, in an Epilogue.  Rather than do this injustice to the story, the final chapters - post engagement - set-up the sequel.  Some may understandably find the ending too abrupt, but the engagement period has unexpected twists and turns that readers will find surprising - a story unto itself.  The sequel, being written under the working title "Constant as the Sun" picks up the story right where One Thread Pulled left off.  I'm writing as fast as I can! - Diana
