Darcy doesn't like young ladies who unsettle his inner equilibrium, especially those whose impertinent comments offend the inborn pride of his position. Elizabeth Bennet doesn't like proud, arrogant gentlemen, especially those who make disparaging comments about her and her family. Neither of them like being forced to stay under the same roof, especially where circumstances prevent them meeting directly. Each has to imagine what the other is really like. But how can they really know? And which one do they really love?

Defective. Fierce. A lonely survivor. When Oto didn’t connect to the system at adolescence like everyone else, his dreams for racing his way off-planet shattered into a million little pieces. A chance encounter out in the Wilds will fix his broken parts and set him back on the path to escaping his terrible life - but not in ways he could have ever expected. With new friends that he’ll have to learn to trust, and a race car to cultivate, Oto’s in over his head. But that’s never stopped him before.

Ensnared in compromise; Elizabeth Bennet receives four offers of marriage. Not one is welcome. She could wish her life somewhat less eventful. Tall, dark, and impossibly handsome, Darcy strides into every drama where someone needs help or assistance. But why, in heaven’s name, did he have to embroil himself this time?

His character shaped by loss and guilt, Darcy will never permit a woman to possess his heart. But Miss Elizabeth Bennet — from just the sort of society he despises — and who despises him in return, fills his thoughts. As a moth to the flame, he cannot stay away. Elizabeth Bennet scorns the proud and arrogant Mr. Darcy. Admittedly, he is handsome; but like all of his kind, he thinks females below him; merely helpless creatures needing protection from themselves and all around them.

Iolkos, Thessaly. 1230 BC. King Pelias has grown paranoid, tormented by his murderous past and a prophecy of the man who will one day destroy him. When a stranger arrives to compete in the Games of Poseidon, Pelias is horrified, for this young man should never have grown to manhood. He is Jason, Pelias' nephew, who survived his uncle's assassins as a child. Now Jason wants his revenge – and the kingdom. To claim the throne, Jason must achieve the impossible: steal the fabled Golden Fleece of Colchis.

Darcy is on a quest. His mission is to restore the impertinence and joy which used to dance in the fine eyes of Miss Elizabeth Bennet and had captured his heart, although his mind told him not to give in. To achieve his mission, he must find her missing sister. But where, in all the millions of acres —all the farms, hamlets, towns and cities that make England — could she be? Elizabeth Bennet is a gentlewoman. Society rules prevent her joining the search. But why would the arrogant and disdainful Mr. Darcy persist in the task?

Darcy’s much vaunted pride is under good regulation — or so he believes. He knows he cannot consider Miss Elizabeth Bennet remotely suitable to be his bride. If only his head could control the danger his heart is in. But by the time his heart beats his mind into submission and he understands there can be no one else for him, she has gone from Hertfordshire, and there is no hope for him.

Elizabeth Bennet is determined to follow her heart — and the wrong brother. Appearances can be deceptive, and perhaps the impossible isn’t always forever. Fitzwilliam Darcy has lost his birthright. Years of amassing his own fortune might be meaningless if he cannot win her hand. When his malign elder brother arrives uninvited at Netherfield, propriety forces him to stand aside as George decides to steal Elizabeth Bennet’s heart. It will break Darcy’s heart to see her love another — especially George, who can only wish to ruin her.
