About this ebook
Disillusioned by her parents' callous disregard of anyone else's comfort but their own, Elizabeth Bennet becomes a nurse and faces the adversities of war. Will she ever find love?
Seventeen years old Elizabeth cannot commit herself to a loveless marriage, one that her mother demands her to enter into, only to secure her own future as mistress of her husband's entailed estate. Jealous of his own tranquility, Mr. Bennet decides to temporarily separate the two ladies threatening it and to send his favourite daughter on a visit with her relatives in town. What he does not realise, is that deeply hurt by his abandonment, she is determined never to return to his house again.
News of his beloved cousin being severely wounded in battle makes Fitzwilliam Darcy rush to the Continent to ensure the safety of the man whom he loves like a brother. He was prepared to deal with the horrors of the war. What he was totally unprepared for, was to meet the most intriguing lady he had laid eyes on.
This is non canon a variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but the story can be enjoyed by all who like regency novels, whether they read the original story or not.

Reviews for The Nurse
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved the story in general, a great twist on the original P&P. The villains get their due, the hero’s get their HEA.
My issue is with the writing style. I am just not a fan of very long sentences, and there some minor grammar errors. I can not determine if the long sentences are the author’s style or if the book would benefit from professional editing.
.That being said, the plot was engaging enough I read it completely. I would give 3.5 stars. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great story and not one I wanted to put down once I started.
