    About this ebook

    She's not an heiress. He's not a parson. But each is exactly what the other desires.

    Richard Fitzwilliam has always planned on marrying for money.  What second son of an earl would not?  How else was he supposed to keep to a standard of living with which he had grown accustomed? Besides, love in marriage was a happy coincidence for those not born to a title or money, was it not? 

    Mary Bennet has always longed for a quiet, home of her own -- preferably a parsonage.  She has studied and prepared herself accordingly -- pouring over her books of sermons.  She is determined to be well-versed on how best to aid ladies, young and old alike, with whatever guidance they seek. 

    However, when Richard meets Mary, all previous notions are turned on end.  Will prudence and propriety prevail or will lessons be learned that no book can teach? And what is a poor second son to do when the one luxury he cannot do without is not an heiress?

    Not an Heiress is the sequel to Discovering Mr. Darcy and part of Leenie Brown's Dash of Darcy Companions collection of Pride and Prejudice inspired novellas.  If you like well-written, fast-paced, sweet and flirty regency romps, then you will love this story of compromise and the discovery that true happiness is not always found in lofty goals but in having your true love at your side. 

    So, pour a cup of tea, grab your copy of Not an Heiress, and escape into a world of sweet romantic indulgence today.

    Leenie Brown

    Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was a both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales.  At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents! Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents’ basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading! Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds!  She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn’t find out. In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction.  Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters.  Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation. When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

      The Courage To Be Happy

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather

      This was a great continuation of Discovering Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Novella and I loved seeing how Lady Catherine arranged things to get Mary and Richard together. Elizabeth and Darcy's son Alexander was also really cute and I loved the few scenes he was in. I look forward to reading more of Leenie Browns books in the future and hope she has some more with a Lady Catherine like this.
