    About this ebook

    He's an annoyance. She's a puzzle. Together, they make sparks fly.

     

    Caroline Bingley 's greatest desire is to marry a wealthy gentleman with an estate. However, Pemberley and its master have been lost.  While this is a most unfortunate turn of events, it's not the worst of it, for Caroline's brother insists that he will marry his most recent angel despite the lady's ridiculous family.

    And Caroline? Well, she must return to Netherfield and perform the part of perfect hostess for her brother and the gentleman she has lost, as well as his sister and his annoyingly direct cousin.

     

    Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam has always found Caroline Bingley attractive. However, by focusing on her sharp tongue, he has deftly managed to avoid any entanglement that might threaten his plan not to marry. 

     

    Until now.

     

    Having been challenged to re-evaluate his opinion of Caroline, Richard has found himself unable to resist the puzzle she present

    s.

    While Richard attempts to understand and Caroline attempts not to offend, love works its magic causing hearts to become engaged. But is love's enchantment powerful enough for a gentleman bent on remaining single and a lady equally as determined to marry only a man with an estate to come to an understanding? Or will love find itself rejected and shivering under the stars of a winter's night?

     

    One Winter's Eve is the second book in Leenie Brown's Darcy Family Holidays series. If you like well-written, sweet romance starring a flawed heroine in need of guidance and a determined hero bent on seeing her improve, then you'll love this story where love rises above imperfections revealing itself as an instrument that is matchless in its ability to affect change and bring lasting joy.

     

    So, put the kettle on, pick up your copy of One Winter's Eve, and snuggle in for a sweet romantic read.

    Other books in this series:

    1. Two Days Before Christmas
    2. One Winter's Eve
    3. A Scandal in Springtime
    4. Sketches and Secrets of Summer

    Each story is a complete romance and can stand alone. However, reading the series in order will provide a more satisfying experience since details from earlier books may appear in later books.

     

    One Winter's Eve can also be found in Darcy Family Holidays, Volume 1 (Books 1-3).

    Author

    Leenie Brown

    Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was a both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales.  At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents! Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents’ basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading! Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds!  She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn’t find out. In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction.  Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters.  Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation. When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

      This book was a really fun sequel to Two Days Before Christmas: A Pride and Prejudice Novella. I loved seeing how Caroline changed and evolved during this book and her relationship with Richard was really fun to read about. This was a fun, quick, and cute holiday related Austenesque book and I would like to see more from this storyline in the future.
