Passion and Principle

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.
