P.O. Dixon Books in Order (Updated May 10, 2026)

P.O. Dixon writes Jane Austen-inspired historical romance, especially Pride and Prejudice variations centered on Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Her catalogue is large, and several books have been reissued, bundled, expanded, or grouped differently across retailers.

The safest approach is to read by continuity type, not by one giant timeline. Some books are direct sequels. Some are themed groupings. Many are standalones that reset the Pride and Prejudice story from a new premise.

The Order That Matters Most

P.O. Dixon’s catalogue has several places where order matters.

Read these in sequence:

1. Pride and Prejudice Untold
2. Darcy and the Young Knight’s Quest
3. Everything Will Change
4. Expecting Duology
5. Night with Mr. Darcy

For most other books, order is flexible. Publication order is useful, but not required.

Pride and Prejudice Untold Books in Order

This is one of Dixon’s clearest connected sequences. Read it in order because later books continue earlier romantic and family developments.

1. To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too) (2010): A Darcy-centered variation that begins the alternate path and places his choices, pride, and romantic pursuit at the front of the story.
2. What He Would Not Do (2011): The direct continuation of Darcy’s tale, following the consequences of the first book’s altered courtship.
3. Lady Harriette: Fitzwilliam’s Heart and Soul (2013): A connected follow-up that shifts attention toward Fitzwilliam Darcy’s family circle and the next generation of emotional complications.

Pride and Prejudice Variations: Charming Novellas

These shorter works are not one continuous storyline. They are best read as compact alternate versions of Elizabeth and Darcy’s romance.

1. Bewitched, Body and Soul (2012): A romantic variation focused on Elizabeth and Darcy’s powerful attraction and the altered circumstances that bring them together.
2. To Refuse Such a Man (2015): A variation built around Elizabeth’s refusal and Darcy’s need to confront what kind of man he has been.
3. As Good as a Lord (2015): A shorter Pride and Prejudice variation that uses rank, worth, and social comparison to test Darcy and Elizabeth’s assumptions.
4. Dearest, Loveliest Elizabeth (2015): A tender Darcy-and-Elizabeth novella centered on affection, recognition, and the emotional shift from misunderstanding to attachment.
5. The Means of Uniting Them (2019): A compact variation about the circumstances that push Elizabeth and Darcy together despite social and personal obstacles.
6. Wait for Love (2024): A later novella-length variation about delayed affection, changed timing, and the patience required before love can settle.

Darcy and the Young Knight’s Quest Books in Order

This sequence should be read in order because it follows a connected path involving Darcy, Elizabeth, and a younger character whose role changes the emotional shape of the story.

1. He Taught Me to Hope (2013): Darcy’s relationship with a young boy becomes central to a softer, family-shaped variation of his bond with Elizabeth.
2. The Mission (2014): The second book continues the emotional and family threads opened in He Taught Me to Hope.
3. Hope and Sensibility (2014): The sequence concludes by bringing the family, romantic, and hope-centered elements toward resolution.

Darcy and Elizabeth Love Affair Books in Order

This is a short connected set. Read the first before the second.

1. A Lasting Love Affair (2013): A Darcy-and-Elizabeth romance that emphasizes lasting attachment and the emotional force of their connection.
2. ’Tis the Season for Matchmaking (2014): A seasonal follow-up that uses Christmas atmosphere and matchmaking pressure to extend the romantic thread.

Darcy and Elizabeth Short Stories

These are short-form pieces and can be read between longer books.

1. Pride and Sensuality (2014): A short Darcy-and-Elizabeth piece focused on attraction, intimacy, and the romantic charge between them.
2. A Tender Moment (2014): A brief variation built around a single emotional turn, best read as a small supplement rather than a major continuity entry.

Main Pride and Prejudice Variation Books in Order

These are listed as Pride and Prejudice variations, but they are not all one continuous series. Read them in publication order if you want Dixon’s development as a variation writer.

1. Still a Young Man (2014): A variation that revisits Darcy’s maturity, choices, and capacity to change while he is still young enough to be reshaped by love.
2. Miss Elizabeth Bennet (2017): A Darcy-and-Elizabeth variation that keeps Elizabeth at the center of the altered romance.
3. By Reason, by Reflection, by Everything (2017): A reflective variation where Darcy’s inner correction and Elizabeth’s reconsideration drive the romance forward.
4. Irrevocably Gone (2018): A variation built around loss, missed chances, and the consequences of a path that seems impossible to recover.
5. Designed for Each Other (2018): A romantic variation centered on the idea that Darcy and Elizabeth are suited to one another despite pride, mistakes, and delay.
6. Together in Perfect Felicity (2019): A happiness-focused variation that leans into the emotional promise of Darcy and Elizabeth finally reaching mutual understanding.
7. Gravity (2019): A variation about the pull between Darcy and Elizabeth, using attraction and inevitability as the force that draws the story together.
8. Most Ardently, Most Unknowingly in Love (2020): A variation where love exists before full recognition, making self-knowledge part of the romantic journey.
9. Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth: Always and Forever (2022): A Darcy-and-Elizabeth romance shaped by endurance, commitment, and the idea of lasting attachment.
10. Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth: For You to Love (2022): A variation focused on whether love can be accepted, returned, and trusted after earlier mistakes.
11. Once He Made a Beginning (2024): A later Pride and Prejudice variation built around Darcy taking action once his emotional path becomes clear.
12. Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth: After All (2025): A later Darcy-and-Elizabeth variation about love finding its way after obstacles, delay, or altered expectations.
13. Bewitched, Bothered and Besotted (2026): A forthcoming Pride and Prejudice variation listed for June 2026, so it should be treated as upcoming until publication.

Pride and Prejudice Story Books in Order

These are grouped separately from the main variation list. They can be read independently unless you are following the shorter Night with Mr. Darcy thread.

1. Love Will Grow (2014): A Pride and Prejudice story about affection developing over time rather than arriving fully formed.
2. Almost Persuaded (2014): A variation shaped by hesitation, persuasion, and the fragile point at which a choice might still change.
3. After Last Night with Mr. Darcy (2022): A follow-up to the “Night with Mr. Darcy” premise, best read after A Night with Mr. Darcy to Remember.

Expecting Duology Books in Order

This is a true two-book sequence. Read it in order.

1. Expecting His Proposal (2014): A short Darcy-and-Elizabeth story built around anticipation, courtship expectation, and the question of whether a proposal will come.
2. Expecting His Wife (2019): The continuation moves from proposal expectations into married-life consequences, so it works best after the first story.

Everything Will Change Books in Order

This is a connected two-book Pride and Prejudice variation. Read Lady Elizabeth first.

1. Lady Elizabeth (2015): A major alternate-history variation that changes Elizabeth’s social position and therefore alters her entire relationship with Darcy.
2. So Far Away (2015): The sequel continues the altered identity and relationship consequences from Lady Elizabeth.

Romantic Escapes Standalone Variations

These are standalones. They do not require sequence reading, but publication order keeps the list tidy.

1. Impertinent Strangers (2016): A variation about first impressions, bold manners, and the friction between Elizabeth and Darcy when circumstances throw them together differently.
2. A Favorite Daughter (2020): A family-centered variation that places Elizabeth’s role as a beloved daughter in sharper focus.
3. Something to Think Of (2021): A reflective variation where a changed event gives Darcy and Elizabeth reason to reconsider what they believe about each other.
4. Somebody Else’s Gentleman (2021): A variation built around romantic misdirection, where Darcy may seem destined for someone other than Elizabeth.
5. Mr. Darcy, the Heir of Pemberley (2022): A Pemberley-centered variation that foregrounds inheritance, estate identity, and Darcy’s place in the world Elizabeth must understand.
6. Simply Beautiful (2023): A standalone romance about beauty, perception, and the emotional recognition that changes how Darcy and Elizabeth see each other.

Satisfying Short Story Escape

• A Night with Mr. Darcy to Remember (2018): A shorter variation that begins a “Night with Mr. Darcy” thread and should be read before After Last Night with Mr. Darcy.

Holiday Escapes with Mr. Darcy

These seasonal titles can be read whenever you want Christmas or holiday-themed Austen variations.

1. Which that Season Brings (2018): A holiday variation using the season’s gatherings and expectations to shift Elizabeth and Darcy’s path.
2. Christmas Sealed with a Kiss (2019): A Christmas romance where a kiss and the social meaning around it alter Darcy and Elizabeth’s relationship.
3. Christmas, Love and Mr. Darcy (2021): A holiday-centered variation that uses Christmas warmth and romantic pressure to bring Darcy and Elizabeth closer.
4. Abounds with Gaieties (2022): A festive variation shaped by social gatherings, celebration, and the emotional possibilities of the season.

Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth

• Hearts Unspoken (2025): Elizabeth becomes the paid companion of the mistress of Pemberley, placing her near Darcy under painful and complicated circumstances.

Other P.O. Dixon Novels

These are listed outside the larger series groupings. Treat them as standalones unless a retailer edition says otherwise.

1. Matter of Trust (2012): A historical romance about whether affection can survive uncertainty, suspicion, and the need to trust another person’s character.
2. Only a Heartbeat Away (2014): A romantic story centered on closeness, timing, and the emotional distance that can separate two people who might belong together.
3. The Makings of Mr. Darcy (2016): A Darcy-focused variation about the experiences and pressures that shape him into the man Elizabeth must judge.
4. Her Spirits Rising to Playfulness (2023): A Pride and Prejudice-inspired romance that draws on Elizabeth’s liveliness and the emotional power of regained playfulness.
5. Estranged (2023): A romance about separation, emotional distance, and the possibility of rebuilding what has been damaged.
6. Intentions and Mishaps (2025): A shorter romantic story built around plans going wrong and consequences that move the couple toward a new understanding.
7. Love is Here and Now Gone (2025): Elizabeth accepts Darcy’s second proposal, but the marriage begins in loneliness and emotional restraint instead of the tenderness she expected.

Collections and Anthologies

Collections can be useful, but they may duplicate stories sold individually. Check contents before buying.

1. Unbridled Affections (2023): A collection of Pride and Prejudice variations, useful for readers who want several Dixon stories in one volume.
2. Spirited Pursuits (2023): A collected volume that gathers shorter Austen-inspired romantic material around pursuit, feeling, and altered courtship.
3. For More Reasons than One (2024): A collection of Pride and Prejudice variations that should be treated as supplemental rather than a new series entry.
4. Rational Exuberance (2025): A later collection of Pride and Prejudice variation material, best read after sampling Dixon’s single-title works.
5. Darcy and the Young Knight’s Quest (2025): A collection edition of the connected Young Knight’s Quest sequence.
6. To Mark the Occasion (2025): A multi-author collection, so Dixon completists may want it, but it is not part of a single-author continuity.
7. All the Best Parts of Beauty (2026): A collection that brings together several previously published or collected Dixon stories, so treat it as a bundle rather than a new novel.

Best Route for a New Reader

Begin with a connected sequence, then move into the standalones.

1. To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too) (2010): Start here if you want the earliest major connected Dixon sequence.
2. What He Would Not Do (2011): Continue directly because it follows the first book.
3. Lady Harriette (2013): Finish the Pride and Prejudice Untold arc before moving elsewhere.
4. He Taught Me to Hope (2013): Begin the Young Knight’s Quest sequence for a softer, family-shaped variation.
5. The Mission (2014): Continue the connected family thread.
6. Hope and Sensibility (2014): Complete the sequence before moving to standalones.
7. Lady Elizabeth (2015): Try the Everything Will Change duology next because it has a clear altered-status premise.
8. So Far Away (2015): Read immediately after Lady Elizabeth.
9. Bewitched, Body and Soul (2012): Move into the shorter variations after the main connected sets.
10. Impertinent Strangers (2016): A good standalone next because it gives a separate first-impressions-style variation.
11. Designed for Each Other (2018): A useful middle-catalogue choice for a classic Darcy-and-Elizabeth romance.
12. Most Ardently, Most Unknowingly in Love (2020): Read later for a variation built around unrecognized feeling.
13. Mr. Darcy, the Heir of Pemberley (2022): A strong standalone choice for readers who like estate, inheritance, and Pemberley-centered stakes.
14. Hearts Unspoken (2025): A recent title with a more painful Pemberley setup.
15. Love is Here and Now Gone (2025): A later pick for readers who want a marriage-after-proposal story with emotional difficulty.

Chronological Order

There is no single chronological order for P.O. Dixon’s full catalogue.

Most books are alternate versions of Pride and Prejudice, so the timeline restarts with each premise. A book where Elizabeth’s social position changes cannot share the same continuity as a book where Darcy’s proposal has different consequences or a book that begins from a new Pemberley arrangement.

Use chronological order only inside true sequences:

1. To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too) (2010): Opens Pride and Prejudice Untold.
2. What He Would Not Do (2011): Continues the same altered Darcy-centered path.
3. Lady Harriette (2013): Extends the connected family thread.
4. He Taught Me to Hope (2013): Begins Darcy and the Young Knight’s Quest.
5. The Mission (2014): Continues that sequence.
6. Hope and Sensibility (2014): Completes the connected set.
7. Lady Elizabeth (2015): Opens Everything Will Change.
8. So Far Away (2015): Continues that altered-world storyline.
9. Expecting His Proposal (2014): Opens the Expecting duology.
10. Expecting His Wife (2019): Continues the proposal-to-marriage thread.
11. A Night with Mr. Darcy to Remember (2018): Opens the “Night with Mr. Darcy” thread.
12. After Last Night with Mr. Darcy (2022): Follows that premise.

Latest P.O. Dixon Book

As of this update, the newest confirmed published P.O. Dixon single-title books I found are Hearts Unspoken and Love is Here and Now Gone, both listed in 2025.

The next listed P.O. Dixon title is Bewitched, Bothered and Besotted, scheduled for June 2026. Because that date is after this article’s May 2026 update, it should be treated as upcoming.

Do You Need to Read Jane Austen First?

It helps. P.O. Dixon’s books assume familiarity with Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, Georgiana Darcy, Wickham, Lady Catherine, Pemberley, Longbourn, and the emotional structure of Pride and Prejudice.

You can read the books without rereading Austen, but the changes are clearer if the original novel is fresh in your mind.

Are P.O. Dixon’s Books Clean or Steamy?

The heat level varies. Some titles are sweet or traditional Regency-style variations, while others are more sensual or explicitly mature in tone.

Check the individual edition description before buying if heat level matters to you. Collections and bundles may mix stories with different levels of sensuality.

Final Guidance

For the least confusing P.O. Dixon reading path, start with Pride and Prejudice Untold, then read Darcy and the Young Knight’s Quest, then Everything Will Change. After those connected sequences, choose the standalone Pride and Prejudice variations by premise.
