Author has written 18 stories for Persuasion.

Hello! I am new to writing and to fanfiction. I am a Persuasion addict and like stories that are set in the Regency era with characters staying pretty true to their personalities in the book. I hope you enjoy my stories!

To Capture Mr Darcy by elizabethann.west.7 reviews
NOW in Kindle Unlimited. Nature's a fickle thing. When four days of rain occur earlier in Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice to trap Elizabeth and Jane at Netherfield Park, new romances, misunderstandings, and alignments are made. Volatile tempers never did well cooped up together.

Trial by Fire reviews
In late October 1814, a fire at the Great House brings Anne to Kellynch Hall and into the frequent company of Captain Wentworth. This story includes elements of the present as well as flashbacks to their first engagement in 1806. It is set pre-Lyme and pre-Winthrop, so he has not yet entangled himself with Louisa nor come to terms with his true feelings for Anne. HEA as always!

Her Power With Him Was Gone For Ever reviews
This is a "missing scene" story written from Captain Wentworth's POV. It is his first dinner at the Great House, where he meets Charles and Mary. A heavy dose of denial and a few wrong conclusions set the stage for the pain and suffering we all know will follow. One-shot. Reviews are always appreciated!
