Jane Austen's most famous lovers, Darcy and Elizabeth, return in a tale of romance, adventure, and danger set in the heart of the Caribbean. Read an Excerpt: She was grateful for all he was doing for her, and for her family despite its low connections and its unseemly behavior. Gratitude, however, was not her overwhelming emotion at that moment. She wanted him to take her in his arms. She wanted to kiss him good-bye, again and again. He turned to look at her once more. She swallowed hard. His eyes. They bore into her like a dagger. It was now or never. What if he were killed? What if he lay in his grave never knowing that she loved him? He was prepared to sacrifice everything for her, his position, his reputation, his wealth, and now he was prepared to sacrifice his life. Could she hold her reputation above that? He turned away from her and headed to the door. She could not let him go without telling him of her feelings. What if he was mistaken? What if Wickham killed her father and killed him too? As he opened the door and exited, she said in a barely audible tone, “I love you.” She waited for the click of the door. It did not come. The door opened again, and Darcy entered the room once more. “What did you say?” he asked. She faltered for a moment, then repeated, “I love you,” louder this time. It all happened in an instant. She did not move and yet she was in his arms. He strode across the room with such force that he lifted her off the ground. The touch of his body was intoxicating. Suddenly, a dark cloud crossed his face, and he let her down. He still had not kissed her. “Perhaps you are only grateful to me,” he said, pulling away slightly, but not letting go of her. Oh no, no, he would know. She reached up and caressed his cheek. “How can you doubt me?” she asked. “Do you think I do not know my own mind?” She watched his face. His eyes searched hers as if he would find in them the truth he wanted to know. She touched his face again. He kissed her. About the Author: I’ve always been a storyteller. When I was little, I used to tell my sister stories before we went to sleep. Most of them were serials – Superman and the like. It never occurred to me until much later in life that I should try my hand at writing. Most of my career, I’ve been a music teacher. I’ve found music such a help when crafting a story. I actually see the structure of a book as if it was a musical composition. As for the nuts and bolts of my life, I grew up in the Chicago area and was a teacher there for quite a few years. I had a chance to teach at an international school in Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania, and I spent two years there. After adopting my son, we spent four years at an international school in the Philippines. During that time, I began writing. Now I live in the western U.S. Most of my work has been screenplays. Over the years, I’ve won or placed well in competitions. I’m telling you this so you don’t think I sat down one day and wrote a novel out of the blue. I’ve spent many years working and learning. A long time ago someone called me “an insatiable romantic.” I hope that's still true.

Audrey Martinez is a veterinarian who has devoted her whole life to the care and protection of horses—even if doing so leaves her little time for meeting a man. Who would have thought that a strange case of criminal horseplay would lead her to falling deeply, wildly in love? If only the man who makes her heart race faster than a wild mustang would let his guard down, that is. . . Caleb Harper is no ordinary cowboy. Sure, he wears his hat, boots, and jeans like a second skin, and displays an easygoing charm that comes from years of working on the ranch. But with his military background, and Army buddies at his side, he is tried-and-true Texas tough. Audrey knows she can trust a man like Caleb to help her save horses. But can Caleb trust himself to resist his attraction to Audrey—or will the sparks of their desire end up getting them burned? ------------------------- About the author New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant has been praised for her "totally addictive" and "unique and sensual" stories.

A MOST PRIVATE BATTLE Read an Excerpt “Always the hero,” Fox stated, appearing from the ballroom as Henry trained his eyes down the hall where Miss Thornton had disappeared. “But it’s caddish to give a girl hopes, Harry. Particularly such a dull-looking mouse.” Henry’s jaw set. It hadn’t been like that. Meeting Miss Thornton had been more like finding a brother-soldier, someone whose warm laughter and ready wit had plucked him out of the madness of Spain and put his feet down on the soil of England. For a few brief minutes, she’d made him feel that he was not wholly alien here. In the face of that, the fashion of her dress was totally irrelevant. Henry followed Fox into the ballroom again and they watched the dancers until Henry put the back of his hand to his mouth, yawning. When Miss Thornton left, all his energy had seemed to go with her, and the weariness that was a massive wave he’d been outrunning since Spain was finally going to break. “You should be in bed,” Fox noted, stifling his own yawn. He raised his voice over the violins and noise of the party. “Speaking of which…. Where—?” The music came to an uneven halt and the long lines of dancers froze like grappling statues. “Dear guests—” A voice rang out from a tiny woman at the dais. Lady Sherbourne. “I had hoped for an exciting party, but did not dare pray for something so memorable. London has brought out one of its finest fogs for us.” Talk rumbled through the room. “That’s torn it,” muttered a man to Henry’s right. “Can’t leave now. I’m for the library sofa. Every man for himself.” Gentlemen closest to the garden doors swung them wide, displaying a thick wall of fog that rolled through the crowd like a malevolent guest, arriving late and sending dangerous greetings left and right. Henry’s heart skittered to a stop. How long had it been since Miss Thornton left? A quarter of an hour? More? The answer made him sick. It was too late to chase after them.

For the last decade, she has co-authored The Uncrushable Jersey Dress, a blog and Facebook page dedicated to mid-century author, Betty Neels.

Wheatley NOVEL – 214 PAGES ISBN – 9781603105798; 1603105794 RELEASE DATE – Mar 1, 2019 No men need apply! Savvy, fun-loving writer Leslie James dreams of one day joining Limelight magazine’s writing staff. In the meantime, she keeps her journalistic skills sharp with Blissful Beauties, a beauty blog that celebrates all women. Leslie’s passion for writing takes her mind off her current relationship status: Single. She’s okay with leaving love out of the equation, until she meets Michael—a handsome, sexy single father and sports journalist with everything Leslie could want in a man. At the urging of her supportive, sassy best friend Crystal, Leslie befriends Michael but insists that they remain strictly platonic, but Michael has other plans. He’s determined to make Leslie his lady for life, and as their undeniable chemistry begins to sizzle, Leslie is powerless to resist him. But their budding romance is abruptly cut short when Michael’s ex-wife suddenly resurfaces, wanting to rekindle their relationship. Will the love Leslie has for Michael ever be enough to truly win his heart? Reader Alert! Leslie James is at her wits’ end when it comes to love. The minute she decides to throw in the towel, gorgeous and charming Michael Allgood comes along. Mesmerized by this fine specimen of a man, and against her better judgement, Leslie decides to give him a chance—but she regrets that decision when his greedy ex-wife Mia suddenly shows up on his doorstep. Can Michael prove to Leslie that his intentions are good and he wants a love with her that’ll last forever? To my readers: I’ve been a lover of romance for as long as I can remember. WHEN IT’S ALL SAID & DONE is fun, contemporary romantic comedy that’s very close to my heart. As the novel came to fruition, I found myself wanting to be friends with the smart, savvy, beautiful women in the book and date the handsome, strong, sexy, men! My goal was to tell an entertaining story that embodies matters of the heart and would leave readers thinking about these colorful characters long after the final chapter. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! About the author: Denise N. Wheatley used to cry as a three-year old child when her mother read to her because she wanted so badly to read on her own. Once she learned, she constantly had her nose in a book. Denise has been writing for as long as she can remember, holds a degree in English, and is in love with love and happy endings. She’s published several books and short stories, including a fictional series of vignettes titled, I WISH I NEVER MET YOU: DATING THE SHIFTLESS, STUPID AND UGLY. Despite popular opinion, the book is not an autobiography (even though Denise admittedly does have a story or two to tell about the world of dating…) Excerpt: When Michael put his arm around Leslie, she relaxed within his embrace. She’d had a wonderful time tonight, and appreciated every effort that he had put into the evening. It was then that she decided to stop worrying about everything; especially the future and Michael moving away. She would just focus on the moment. And right now, in that moment, she felt as though she was once again falling under his spell… * * * Leslie heard the sound of soft orchestral music floating through the air. Her eyelids began to flutter, and when they fully opened, she saw credits rolling up the television screen. She and Michael had both fallen asleep on the couch. A cozy fur blanket had been thrown over them. Michael must’ve done that after she’d drifted off. When she shifted a bit, he stirred then opened his eyes and looked over at her. “Hey you,” he smiled sleepily. “Hey you. We’re two big kids, you know. We can’t even stay awake long enough to watch an entire movie.” “Well,” Michael laughed, “We work hard, and we’re tired. But I have more of an excuse than you do. I worked all day, sent the network a ton of information that they requested, and whipped up that gourmet dinner, dessert and espresso for you.” “When you put it that way, yes you do have more of an excuse than me. But I’ve been working hard as well. I’m writing nonstop for Limelight and my blog, and I had to go out and party with my new cohorts in the writing department before I came here. So I’m tired, too!” “Are you too tired to have a talk right now?” Michael asked softly. “A talk?” Here we go, Leslie thought. Am I ready for this? Her mind began to race. Then she took a deep breath and paused for a moment. Yes. You’re ready. She sat up and turned toward Michael. “No, I’m not too tired. Let’s talk.” He took her hand in his. “So…you already know how I feel about you. I’ve been into you since the day we met. But I know that you’ve had your reservations. You have been through a lot when it comes to dating, and I know you’re really focused on your career. But now that things are coming together for the both of us, I’m hoping that you’d be willing to giving us a chance…as more than friends.” Leslie was silent. While she did have feelings for Michael, it had been so long since she’d been in a serious, committed relationship. Was she ready for that? Was he ready for that, especially considering he’d been through a divorce? “Should I take your silence as a no?” Michael asked quietly. “No…You shouldn’t, but…” “So what is it that’s causing the hesitation?” “Well…it’s just that we have such a strong friendship, and I don’t want to mess that up. I want to be certain that we’re both ready for this.” “Like I said, I’ve been ready. I was just waiting on you.” Leslie stared down at her hands, hesitant to continue. Then she inhaled sharply and kept going, knowing that if she and Michael were going to have a future together, they had to put it all out on the table. “You’re right. I have been through a lot when it comes to my past relationships. But what about you? What about the aftermath of your divorce? And the fact that you’re moving away? How would we handle that?” Michael took Leslie’s chin in his hand and gazed into her eyes sincerely. “I understand your concerns. But let me say this. After my divorce, I remained single for a long time and allowed myself to heal. And as for my move, I don’t think we should allow something as trivial as miles to stop us from being together. I’d rather be with you, even if I’m far away, than not be with you at all. We can work the whole distance thing out.” Leslie allowed Michael’s words to sink in. Everything he’d said made sense. And sounded good. She trusted him enough to know that he really did care about her and sincerely wanted to be with her. And now, she was finally ready to admit that she wanted to be with him, too. “So,” he continued, “Does that happy expression on your face mean that you’re willing to give us a chance?” “Yes,” Leslie smiled. “It does.” Michael squeezed her hand and broke out into a huge grin. “Good. And since we’re now both wide awake, are you up for watching another movie?” “Why not. But we’d better watch an action flick this time. And we might need a couple more espressos, too.” Michael hopped up excitedly and heading into the kitchen. “Coming right up!” When he returned, he sat down next to Leslie and handed her a demitasse. Then he leaned and kissed her tenderly on the lips. Leslie gasped slightly. Michael had caught her completely off guard. But when she felt the touch of his soft lips, she closed her eyes and allowed herself to get lost in his kiss. Several moments passed before the pair pulled away from one another. Leslie looked at Michael, and this time saw him in a completely different light. This time, she was looking at him as the man in her life as oppose to just a friend. Michael caressed her cheek tenderly. “That was nice. Really nice.” “Yes it was.” “Should we start the movie?” “Yes,” Leslie replied, watching Michael as he selected a film. She sipped her espresso and thought about how she hadn’t felt this happy and content in quite a long time. Once the movie began to play, Michael wrapped the two of them up in his blanket. Leslie leaned her head against his chest and exhaled, feeling as though she’d finally gotten it right this time. |
