​

Marianne Mowbrey is a responsible country rector’s daughter who longs for the novelty and excitement she reads about in novels. When her crusty Aunt Harriet agrees to give her a Season in London, Marianne vows to dazzle the world, win a husband, and never go home again. But the Londoners who determine social success are inclined to pass over plain Marianne in favor of her beautiful, reckless younger sister.

​

In a world of ambition, fashion, flattery, and deceit, how can Marianne stay true to her real self—especially when she is not even sure what that real self is?

​

A regency romance in the style of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, this series will explore the emergence of the Mowbrey sisters as they leave their country upbringing behind and enter the exciting world of London society.

​

I am the daughter of a Duke!

​

Elizabeth Bennet could hardly credit the news when a letter sent to her father, from relations she did not know existed, informed them that untimely and unfortunate events would result in Mr Bennet inheriting the dukedom of Everard. In the blink of an eye, the Bennets' lives are transformed—Elizabeth and her four sisters are wealthy, titled, and the talk of the ton.

At Pemberley, Fitzwilliam Darcy is still stinging from Elizabeth's rejection of him at Hunsford when he learns the extraordinary news. She is now Lady Elizabeth, elevated in an extraordinary fashion and is soon to become the most sought-after lady of the season. 

But Darcy’s heart still belongs to her, and he sets off for London determined to win her hand. But can he prove to her that he has changed, particularly when her entire life has just altered?
