from Her Heart’s Choice
Welcome to a brand new week and a brand new month. Shall we start it with a love song and a quote from a story?
Anne wants to marry the gentleman she loves and not the one her mother has chosen. Doing so will take some scheming but if things go well, she should find herself dancing at her wedding with Alistair and not Darcy. This quote from Becoming Entangled is from the scene where Anne presents her plan to Alistair.
Becoming Entangled is a sequel to Unravelling Mr. Darcy, and the timelines of the two books overlap. The quote above happens on the day Anne meets Elizabeth when she is walking near Rosings before she leaves for London (in chapter 4 of UMD), and it is also the day Anne sends her letter to Darcy (which Darcy reads in chapter 5 of UMD).

How does a fellow tell his pretty new friend that he would like to be more than just friends? That’s the colonel’s dilemma in Moonlight, Mistletoe, and Mary. He’s quite smitten with his new friend, as you might be able to tell from the quote below.
Moonlight, Mistletoe, and Mary is a novelette-length sequel to Matching Mr. Darcy. It can be purchased at your favourite retailer or downloaded as part of the welcome library when you subscribe to my mailing list.
Not more than half an hour later, Elizabeth stood at the far end of the yellow drawing room in front of a large set of doors which opened out onto a small terrace. Here, with a few friends and family gathered around, she placed her hand in Darcy’s and pledged herself to him.
