by Jann Rowland
He had fallen in love. Irrevocably, wholly, and deeply in love.
He hoped Georgiana would forgive him, but he intended to extend their stay at Netherfield and win Miss Elizabeth's heart. In the depths of his soul, he believed it was the mandate that the kissing bough had given him.
The End
For Readers Who Liked Mistletoe and Mischief
A Gift for Elizabeth
Sundered from her parents and sisters, a depressed Elizabeth Bennet lives with the Gardiners in London. When times seem most desperate, she makes a new acquaintance in Mr. Darcy, and the encounter changes her perspective entirely. With the spirit of Christmas burning within her, Elizabeth begins to recover from the hardships which have beset her life. Join Elizabeth in her journey to receive a special gift which will change everything.
A Matchmaking Mother
At the Netherfield ball, Elizabeth is introduced to the dearest ladies in Mr. Darcy’s life: his mother and sister, who quickly become favorites. When an invitation is extended to visit the ladies in London, Elizabeth is quick to accept. The closer Elizabeth grows to his family, the more she begins to discover about Mr. Darcy. When love blossoms, the machinations of others threaten to interfere, but a mother set on protecting her children will not be denied.
Another Proposal
“It is by no means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you.” Those famous words from Mr. Collins proved to be spectacularly incorrect, for another gentleman of much greater consequence was intent on paying his addresses. And while Elizabeth disliked Mr. Darcy, he was certainly not as personally repugnant as the detestable Mr. Collins.
Mr. Bennet Takes Charge
When Elizabeth Bennet’s journey to the lakes is canceled, Mr. Bingley, along with his elusive friend Mr. Darcy, return to Netherfield, turning a quiet summer is topsy-turvy. Then Elizabeth learns her sister, Lydia, means to elope with a rake, and the very respectability of her family is at stake. Elizabeth takes heart, however, when her father rises to the occasion, in a way she would never have predicted. With Mr. Darcy’s assistance, there may still be time to prevent calamity, and even find love, against all odds.
The Challenge of Entail
Mr. Bennet ends the dreaded entail, leaving him free to leave Longbourn where he wishes. When the militia arrives in Meryton, they find a Bennet family much altered and Jane Bennet, a young woman destined to inherit a substantial property. Business in London delays the arrival of the Netherfield party to Hertfordshire, and when they do arrive, Mr. Darcy discovers the presence of a hated enemy and finds a woman he can admire.
The Impulse of the Moment
Mr. Darcy finds a young woman in Elizabeth Bennet who has matured from the girl he knew four years earlier. Elizabeth finds herself compelled by Mr. Darcy and attraction grows, a connection begins to be forged. But elements of Mr. Darcy’s family, those who possess the power to exert great influence over his future, do not take kindly to his potential choice of a wife.

About the Authors
Jann Rowland
Jann Rowland is a Canadian, born and bred. Other than a two-year span in which he lived in Japan, he has been a resident of the Great White North his entire life, though he professes to still hate the winters.
Though Jann did not start writing until his mid-twenties, writing has grown from a hobby to an all-consuming passion. His interests as a child were almost exclusively centered on the exotic fantasy worlds of Tolkien and Eddings, among a host of others. As an adult, his interests have grown to include historical fiction and romance, with a particular focus on the works of Jane Austen.
When Jann is not writing, he enjoys rooting for his favorite sports teams. He is also a master musician (in his own mind) who enjoys playing piano and singing as well as moonlighting as the choir director in his church’s congregation.
Jann lives in Alberta with his wife of more than twenty years, two grown sons, and one young daughter. He is convinced that whatever hair he has left will be entirely gone by the time his little girl hits her teenage years. Sadly, though he has told his daughter repeatedly that she is not allowed to grow up, she continues to ignore him.
Lelia Eye
Lelia Eye has lived in Arkansas all her life. While she enjoys reading and watching movies, she refuses to subject herself to any books or movies with unhappy endings. She has a quirky sense of humor and an irrepressible tendency to play devil’s advocate.
Lelia has been interested in writing since she won a short story contest in the sixth grade. Her imagination has been active far longer than that, as her childhood was filled with stories built around such villains as dog-catchers with unflappable determination and pirate ponies with hearts of gold.
Her interest in Jane Austen was sparked when she took a Jane Austen class in college. Her interests span far beyond Jane Austen, however, and encompass the realms of fairy tale, fantasy, and the supernatural.
She lives with her husband of more than ten years and two precious daughters as well as some geriatric fur-babies.
Colin Rowland
Colin Rowland is a Canadian who dislikes cold weather with a passion. This dislike led him to sell his house and move with his wife to the big island of Hawaii, where he loved every minute of the eighteen months they were there. After returning to Canada, he went to work at an international home improvement chain as a contractor consultant.
He currently lives in Calgary with his wife of forty-plus years. Together, they are the proud parents of two sons and two daughters. They also act as servants to two dogs, a Border Collie and a Shih Tzu.
Colin has always loved to read and enjoys almost every genre there is, although his favorites delve into historical periods, from Ancient Rome to World War Two and everything in between. His interest in the works of Jane Austen began with advice from his brother, author Jann Rowland, to read Pride and Prejudice. Inspired by Austen's work, Colin now spends his free time penning manuscripts centered around the Regency England period.
