The Pug and Mr. Darcy

A Pride and Prejudice Variation Romance

By: Rachelle Ayala

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if Elizabeth’s precious pug hates Darcy at first sight?

Empress growls at Fitzwilliam Darcy the moment they meet. But Elizabeth Bennet’s imperious little guardian isn’t the only one he must win over.

With her father dying and the entail looming, Elizabeth agrees to court Mr. Collins—the clergyman who brings her medicine, security, and one very opinionated pug.

Then Darcy begins proving himself. Arguing philosophy. Sending physicians. Rescuing dogs on hillsides. Looking at Elizabeth as though she’s the only woman in England worth knowing.

Empress notices. And slowly—very slowly—she stops growling.

Now Elizabeth must choose between the safe path she promised and the terrifying, wonderful possibility of real love. And Darcy must decide if winning one stubborn pug’s approval is worth risking everything for her equally stubborn mistress.

The path to love has four legs, a wrinkled brow, and very high standards.
