Elizabeth Adams

Elizabeth Adams writes historical romance that lets an extraordinary premise alter the practical choices of familiar literary characters. A Curative Touch is a Pride and Prejudice variation centered on Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth's presence protects people from illness, and her touch can heal them. Because discovery could bring accusations of witchcraft or confinement, she plans to marry a physician and use his practice as cover for helping patients. Darcy complicates that carefully reasoned future when trust and affection challenge the safety of her plan. The 2023 publication is the third work in A Collection of Unusual Tales, a sequence that brings speculative gifts into courtship stories shaped by English social expectations. Adams keeps the healing ability tied to responsibility rather than spectacle. Elizabeth must decide whom she can trust, how openly she can act, and whether love threatens or enlarges her purpose. The 2024 edition lists Elizabeth Adams as publisher.
