One heiress with a secret. One handsome and protective parson. Two hearts destined to be one.

Two years ago at Ramsgate, Georgiana Darcy nearly made the biggest mistake of her life, and now, she's living with a secret that haunts her and threatens her future happiness. The chains of self-doubt and trepidation, which that secret have placed on her, have already led to heartache for her friend and, since Mr. Alfred Langley refuses to be part of Georgiana's plan to right a wrong and face her first season with a beau at her side, that secret also threatens to keep her always in its power.

Though Alfred Langley refuses to be part of a deceptive scheme -- even one proposed with the best of intentions -- the story Georgiana shares with him about a scoundrel who toyed with her heart spurs him to act on her behalf. As her friend, he is determined to stand by her side, so often as he is able, to help ease her way into society and ensure that her heart is protected.

However, as Alfred discovers, protecting Miss Darcy is no simple task for it comes with the perils of a scowling and skeptical brother, the unfortunate reality of injury to his person, and the very real potential of either rewriting his plans for his future or leaving him with a broken heart.

Protecting Miss Darcy is the sixth and final installment in Leenie Brown's Pride and Prejudice variation series Marrying Elizabeth. If you like stories about friendship that grows into a forever kind of love, then you'll enjoy this story about how a failed plan can actually become the best thing that could have ever happened.

So, put the kettle on, grab your copy of Protecting Miss Darcy, and join Georgiana and Alfred as they work together to rid Georgiana of the secret from her past while finding their own very happy future.
