Celebrating the 200th anniversary of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
The minute I saw the letter, I knew it was hers. There
was no mistaking it: the salutation, the tiny, precise
handwriting, the date, the content itself, all confirmed its
ancient status and authorship… Samantha McDonough cannot believe her eyes--or her luck.
Tucked in an uncut page of a two-hundred-year old poetry
book is a letter she believes was written by Jane Austen,
mentioning with regret a manuscript that "went missing at
Greenbriar in Devonshire." Could there really be an
undiscovered Jane Austen novel waiting to be found? Could
anyone resist the temptation to go looking for it? Making her way to the beautiful, centuries-old Greenbriar
estate, Samantha finds it no easy task to sell its owner,
the handsome yet uncompromising Anthony Whitaker, on her
wild idea of searching for a lost Austen work--until she
mentions its possible million dollar value. After discovering the unattributed manuscript, Samantha and
Anthony are immediately absorbed in the story of Rebecca
Stanhope, daughter of a small town rector, who is about to
encounter some bittersweet truths about life and love. As
they continue to read the newly discovered tale from the
past, a new one unfolds in the present--a story that just
might change both of their lives forever.
