About
P O Dixon acknowledges arriving rather late in the game. Her initial exposure to Pride and Prejudice was in 2007. After watching the 2005 film at least two times a day for as many weeks, she determined she needed to know much more of the story's hero. After reading the novel, along with several excellent ‘what-if’ books that told the story from Mr. Darcy’s perspective, she came across a link to the online JAFF community.
Her life has never been quite the same.

Story Behind The Book
Everyone who has read and enjoyed He Taught Me to Hope will recall the story ended with a lovely little epilogue, which told of the Darcys’ happily ever after: how Darcy’s love for Ben was as great as if they were of the same blood, and how he had given Ben more than a home; he had given him a loving family such as Ben truly had never known.
I supposed at the time that was the end of the story. So many of Ben’s adoring fans insisted otherwise—you know who you are. With so many voices ringing loud and clear, I listened.
During the 2013 National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), I commenced crafting a new adventure for the adorable young knight who captured the hearts and the imagination of so many. With heartfelt gratitude, I offer you the fruit of my efforts.

With new plot twists, characters and drama, I love to be lost and revel in her tales. This series continues to grow, and this one was fantastic." </span><em>—Books Hug Back</em></p>
