Darcy by Any Other Name

"I am not romantic, you know. I never was." Newly escaped from a loathsome engagement of convenience, Charlotte Lucas has no interest in romance. More than ever, she is convinced that no man would-or could-love her. As companion to an aging aunt, Charlotte's new life is as predictable as it is circumspect. But then she is rescued from a robbery by her uncle's heir, a masterful man who is disastrously handsome. Why has he remained as a guest in the house? Why is he so determined to draw Charlotte out and make her talk? And what of his invitation to visit his home by the sea? Romance is not on the chart for Captain Jack Blunt. Never again will he be played for that kind of fool! He is ashore only to heal from an injury and see to business, nothing more. And yet the pointed disinterest of his cousin's pert niece is intriguing. She is forthright, refreshingly honest-and altogether lovely. She will make a fine wife for one of his officers. But not, of course, for him. So This Is Love is a joyride of a Regency, bringing whirlwind romance and happily-ever-after to Jane Austen's staid and practical Charlotte Lucas. "Absolutely perfect, hitting every note with all the feels." - Robin Helm, author of Understanding Elizabeth and More to Love

But when Darcy is dunned for a bill of Wickham's-an old trick-he sends the magistrate's men with a warrant. Wickham, however, is nowhere to be found. At the same time, a titled lady appears in Hunsford. Why does she look so familiar? What of her pointed interest in Darcy's sister? Is there anyone who will believe what Darcy suspects?

Painfully aware of her bruised pride and vulnerable heart, Elizabeth can only despise herself for loving so common a man. It has never occurred to her that darling Mr. Gill guards a secret of his own--and that he just might be responsible for her father's disappearance. Jane Austen's beloved Persuasion provides the backdrop for this delightful romp set in Regency England.

Elizabeth Elliot's Story

Mercy's Embrace: So Lively a Chase Book 2

Elizabeth Elliot is as beautiful as ever, yet no gentleman of proper stature has requested her hand. Lady Russell claims she is too particular, but Elizabeth begs to differ. She is not about to settle for a gentleman of no distinction like her sister Mary. Nor will she follow her heart and marry a commoner with no title but Captain--that was Anne's mistake. As for romance and the tender stirrings of the heart, why, only a simpleton would fall prey to such foolishness! But when the proud Miss Elliot encounters a pair of smiling Irish eyes in a most unsuitable man of vulgar connections, she is tempted to change her opinion. Almost. Jane Austen's beloved Persuasion provides the backdrop for this delightful romp set in Regency England.
