Riding Stables of Royal Pavilion, 1826

Riding Stables of Royal Pavilion, 1826 (from John Nash’s Views)
Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove

There is no Thursday’s 300 chapter tomorrow, so today’s visual inspiration goes along with Her Heart’s Choice, Choices (book 4). The hero, Madoch, is keeping a secret from the heroine, Anne, and this is from the scene where she discovers that secret.

“In case you were wondering, I will not marry a man with a mistress, nor will I become one.”

Blackmoore laughed.  “I would not attempt to suggest such.  I felt the way Madoch protected you the last time we met, and I have endured his glares all evening.” He shook his head as he continued to chuckle. “No, no, he is not someone with whom I wish to tangle.  I fear I would not win.”

The comment surprised Anne. “I beg your pardon, but I do not understand your meaning.  What exactly makes a man who cares for horses someone who must be feared?”  Alex was not a small or retiring man, but he was not a brute either.  How he could inspire such a reaction in a gentleman who was his superior in rank was beyond her comprehension.

Blackmoore laughed once again.  “His connections, my dear, his connections.  It is not that he cares for horses but for whose horses he cares.”

Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).
