Georgiana looked first to her right and then her left. They could take one of the diverging paths, continue on as they had been, or return to the house. She dropped Mr. Langley’s arm and turned to look behind her. Retreating would be the most comfortable course for she was familiar with it. It did not hold any uncertainty, but it was surrounded by the ghosts of the past. Those secrets begged her to return to their embrace.

“I can trust you, can I not?” she asked after stooping to pick a flower and turning back toward him.

[from Protecting Miss Darcy, Marrying Elizabeth book 6]

Leenie Brown

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).

  1. “I can trust you, can I not?” Oh, what does Georgiana mean by that? Careful girl. Oh, this is going to get messy. Leenie, are you about to drop the ax, as they say? Oh, dear. [hiding eyes with my hands] I can’t bear to look. Tell me when it’s over. **snicker**

    I love that picture and I want one just like it… in my backyard, please.
