He expected to discover who she was. He never counted on being so charmed.
When Henry Fitzwilliam's sister Catherine came sputtering and fuming to his home about their nephew, Fitzwilliam Darcy, being taken in by a fortune-hunting seductress, he knew that the only way to appease her was to meet Darcy's betrothed. What began as a perfunctory soiree to do his duty to his family, quickly turns into a most entertaining evening of secrets revealed that finds Lord Matlock utterly charmed by his future niece.
A Battle of Wills and Words is a novelette of just over 11,000 words and is the fourth installment in Leenie Brown's Teatime Tales Collection of Austen-inspired quick reads. If you're looking for an entertaining escape from the everyday, then you'll enjoy this story where matters of the heart and the follies of the people in love, when put on display, speak loudly to the strength of the bond between the lovers.
So put the kettle on, download your copy of A Battle of Wills and Words, and take a look at Darcy and Elizabeth's courtship and betrothal through Lord Matlock's eyes.
