Till Death Us Do Part - Book 1

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Wade H Mann

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He thinks she trapped him. She knows she didn't. They're both wrong about everything else.

Fitzwilliam Darcy never meant to marry Elizabeth Bennet. She was tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt him—until her mother's schemes forced his hand.

Elizabeth did not to marry anyone, least of all the arrogant, insufferable Mr. Darcy—but her father's ultimatum left her no choice.

Now they're bound together by vows neither wanted to speak, trapped in a marriage neither can escape. Darcy, convinced Elizabeth compromised him deliberately, sets harsh limits on her new life before departing for months on urgent family business. Elizabeth, determined to prove her innocence, agrees to one last bargain: six months to earn a single kind word from her husband.

But kindness requires trust, and trust requires truth—neither of which exists between them.

As Elizabeth settles into Pemberley as an unwanted bride and Darcy races against time to save his family from ruin, both must decide: can a marriage built on anger and suspicion ever become something more? Or are some wounds too deep to heal?

Two possible endings. One impossible choice.

Book 2 was uploaded instead of book 1

I kept wondering how I was supposed to know the previous events. But it turns out that book 2 was uploaded instead of book 1. Please fix! Writing this comment 03/10/2026. The kindle app has the books in order.

Not actually Book 1

Well, I love this entire trilogy. However, the author might want to fix this as it is the narration of Book 2, not Book 1. Book 2 is also Book 2.

Narration is all right, considering it's virtual voice, and it doesn't differentiate between male and female voices and mispronounces words at time -- like read (reed) and read (red). It just does one pronunciation. It also pronounces the misspellings which can be funny at times. It would be a good tool for writers to use when proofreading, though. The misspellings stand out more when you are listening rather than silently reading.

First try just like Book 2

I disliked that the story seemed exactly like Book 2, except that it had no epilogue.
