The Confession of Mr. Darcy, Vampire
Mr.
Fitzwilliam Darcy - elegant, dark, brooding...vampire. In Pulse and
Prejudice, the definitive vampire adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic,
the Master of Pemberley reveals his haunting tale of unquenchable desire
and forbidden love.
His
story continues in Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth, the lurid, lusty sequel
to Pulse and Prejudice, as death shadows the newlywed Darcys from
Pemberley to the parlors of Regency London to the courtyards of
Antebellum New Orleans. As Elizabeth discovers the trials and travails
of marriage to a vampire, can Darcy ever believe that she loves him as
he is? Or will his jealousy tear them apart?
Note:
Pulse and Prejudice is not “fan fiction” but a complete stand-alone
adaptation. No prior knowledge of Pride and Prejudice is required for
full enjoyment of this remarkable novel.

PULSE AND PREJUDICE
Crimson drops fell onto the white snow, staining it pink.
Darcy
had not intended this—to drink from his wife—when he claimed his prize
of a kiss after catching her as they raced through the hedge maze at
Pemberley. Elizabeth had actually done surprisingly well in evading him,
considering his intuitive abilities; but, of course, he caught
her—laughing in his arms, eyes ablaze, cheeks chafed from the cold.
“And
now my prize!” As had so often occurred in the span of their brief
marriage, his tender kiss had escalated quickly into fervent ardour. The
laughter then in her eyes, his wife had taken hold of the lapels of his
greatcoat and, falling back onto the snow, pulled him down with her. As
their kisses deepened, so, too, had his hunger and desire. He pulled
off his gloves and trailed his cold fingers down her face. Untying her
bonnet and unfastening her cape, he exposed her neck for his lips and
his teeth.
She
moaned softly as he drew the blood from her throat, sharing her warmth
and her pulse, savouring the rich, metallic taste. He pulled back to
watch her, only then noticing that a few precious drops of lifeblood had
escaped his embrace and fallen onto the snow.
“William,” she whispered in a half-plea, her hand running over the front of his trousers to convey her intent.
He gazed into her eyes. “Should we not go in? Are not you cold?”
“Cover
me to keep me warm.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled
his mouth onto hers, sharing the taste of her blood as their tongues
intertwined.
Darcy
pulled at her skirts and brought the hem to her knees. He reached his
hand up between her cold thighs to the hot core that drew him in. She
gasped against his mouth as he touched her there, but he wasted little
time in freeing himself from his trousers and thrusting deep within her.
Colette
Saucier began writing poems, short stories, and novellas in grade
school. Her interest in literature led her to marry her college English
professor, but eventually a love of history encouraged her to trade up
to a British historian.
Technical
writing dominated her career for twenty years, but finding little room
for creativity in that genre, she is now a full-time author of fiction.
Pulse
and Prejudice was named “A Most Inventive Adaptation” by Elle Magazine
(April, 2016). It was the 1st Place Winner in its category in the 2013
Chatelaine Awards Romantic Fiction Contest and is listed in
Chanticleer’s 2013 Best Book Listing. Colette dedicated 15 months
traveling to Europe and Britain, researching Regency England and vampire
lore and literature, to complete for historical accuracy. It remains
faithful to nineteenth century literary conventions and Jane Austen’s
narrative to create a compelling, thrilling paranormal adaptation.
Colette
was selected a “2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award” Semi-finalist and
named “Debut Author of the Year” by Austenprose for All My
Tomorrows—now expanded and republished as The Proud and the
Prejudiced—which was also chosen Austenesque Reviews “Favorite Modern
Adaptation” 2013.
Colette’s
romantic thriller Alicia’s Possession was the publisher’s #1
Bestselling Romantic Suspense for 4 straight weeks following its debut
in June of 2013 and then again in January, 2014, after being voted a
“Top Ten Romance Novel of 2013” (P&E Reader’s Poll). Colette is also
the author of the controversial and erotic noir romantic suspense The
Widow, an Amazon bestselling new release and Kobo bestseller.
Colette’s
latest novel—Book II: The Confession of Mr. Darcy, Vampire—entitled
Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth, follows the newlywed Vampire Darcy and his
bride Elizabeth from Britain to Antebellum New Orleans. Due to her
devotion to historical accuracy, she spent two years researching Creole
Society and Nouvelle Orleans in the years following the War of 1812.
A
bestselling and award-winning author under multiple pseudonyms, she is
currently working on multiple projects including a parody of Wuthering
Heights and a children’s book based on the inspiration for the dog
Amadeus from Pulse and Prejudice and Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth.
Colette lives in a lakeside community in South Louisiana with her historian husband and their two dogs.
