Thoughtful, revealing, and effectively told, Passion and Principle is a must-read for Jane Austen fans in search of a realistic sequel to Pride and Prejudice that is dignified and true to form.
Honoring Austen s tone without retelling her story, Passion and Principle confronts the strong natures of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam in their quest for a deeper relationship beyond pleasant marital companionship. Dedicated to learning each other, they discover the benefits and hardships of honesty and trust; separately they challenge themselves to support the other, and together, they open doors to secrets neither of them had imagined.
Passion and Principle not only follows the Darcys quest for a more perfect union, but also details the struggles of the loved ones intricately entangled in their lives. With humor and intensity, heroic efforts, supporting characters, and critical conflicts unfold in a story that tests the passions and principles of a family who must learn to accept and forgive if it is to survive.
Passion and Principle is Book One of M.J. Felice s forthcoming five-part Heart of Pemberley series that continues the Darcys and Austen s other notable Pride and Prejudice characters into their futures.
