ere's a Jane Austen-inspired upcoming release that will see both Austen
fans (and fans of Molly's Millions author Connelly!) delighted. A Weekend With
Mr Darcy is due for release in mid-September and I can't wait to read this -
Victoria's tale of lottery winner Molly was fantastic! Here's the synopsis:
Katherine Roberts is fed up with men.
As a lecturer specialising in the works of Jane Austen, she knows that the
ideal man only exists within the pages of Pride & Prejudice and that in
real life there is no such thing. Determined to go it alone, she finds all the
comfort she needs reading her guilty pleasure - regency romances from the pen
of Lorna Warwick - with whom she has now struck up an intimate correspondence.
Austen fanatic, Robyn Love, is blessed
with a name full of romance, but her love life is far from perfect. Stuck in a
rut with a bonehead boyfriend, Jace, and a job she can do with her eyes shut -
her life has hit a dead end. Robyn would love to escape from it all but
wouldn't know where to start.
They both decide to attend the annual
Jane Austen Conference at sumptuous Purley Hall, overseen by the actress and
national treasure, Dame Pamela Harcourt. Robyn is hoping to escape from Jace
for the weekend and indulge in her passion for all things Austen. Katherine is
hoping that Lorna Warwick will be in attendance and is desperate to meet her
new best friend in the flesh.
But nothing goes according to plan and
Robyn is aghast when Jace insists on accompanying her, whilst Katherine is
disappointed to learn that Lorna won't be coming.
However, an Austen weekend wouldn't be
the same without a little intrigue, and Robyn and Katherine are about to get
much more than they bargained for. Because where Jane Austen is concerned,
romance is never very far away...
