    Summary

    AU where Abby and Marcus were best friends throughout their childhood and eventual high school sweethearts outside of Buffalo, NY. Sadly, they could not make a long distance relationship work and lost touch after going off to their respective colleges. Ten years later, Abby is a 28 year old medical resident living outside of Houston, TX and she is happily engaged to the handsome, Jake Griffin. Marcus, also 28, returned to his hometown after college where he teaches history and coaches at his alma mater. When Abby decides to attend her 10 year high school reunion, she and Marcus reconnect and share a night of passion. However, the next morning, Abby is horrified that she would betray Jake and risk their future together. She leaves a heartbroken Marcus and returns home to her fiancé. They do not speak again until nearly 12 years later, when an accidental discovery thrusts them back into each other’s lives.

    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a headstrong widow must be in want of all the happiness for her daughter — and a slightly more exciting life than the serene countryside of Hertfordshire, 1814. But when two wealthy gentlemen rent the estate bordering the cottage of the impoverished Griffins, the news rouses every marriage-minded mother of the area into a fierce joy - except for Abby Griffin. The reason for her mortification is the steely gaze of her new neighbour, Admiral Kane; a man she hasn't seen for two decades and would've desired the fact remain forever unaltered.

    After 8 long years, Admiral Kane finds the courage to offer some courteous assistance to the wife his dear friend has left behind - only to be faced with a pair of brown, fiery eyes and memories of the past so shameful he can barely hold her gaze. To the chagrin of the local ladies, he has absolutely no intention to obtain himself a wife by the end of the hunting season, but as time passes, he finds himself being persuaded of the opposite by the terrifying hope growing in his heart...

    A story of love, family, simmering passion, persuasion and pride & prejudice. Or in a nutshell: my love letter for Jane Austen.
