Release Day Celebration – Undoing

It’s release day!! I hope you’re as excited as I am!

If you just want to read Undoing now, click here to buy! I’ve never done this, but this morning I entered Undoing in Kindle Unlimited! Happy Reading!

Paperback is up! The Kindle and paperback aren’t linked yet, so here is the link!

First, I’ll go ahead and post the blurb in the event anyone missed it. 🙂

Blurb:

Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Bennet always hoped to marry for love—that is until she surrenders to her mother’s demands and marries the handsome Duke of Leeds. Thrust into a society disinclined to accept the country nobody who entrapped one of their most sought-after bachelors, her marriage of convenience is nothing like she expected. Her husband confuses her, as he hides a scandalous secret he’s reluctant to share.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is a man torn. After meeting the Duchess of Leeds at a ball, he is fascinated by her intelligence and humour, but how does one maintain a respectable friendship with a lady—particularly when that lady is the wife of his cousin and godfather? Yet by spending time in her company, he loses more and more of his heart to a lady he is forbidden to possess. Tormented, his feelings must stay hidden from everyone, particularly Elizabeth. How is he to keep himself under such strict regulation when he is constantly thrown into her company? How does one prevent their own undoing?

Now for a bit of a bonus scene! We have access to a number of Elizabeth’s letters, so I’m posting part of a chapter where we get to read two of them 🙂 I hope you enjoy!

Dearest Lizzy,

I can scarcely believe that in less than a week’s time you will be at Pemberley! Fitzwilliam and I have planned outings almost daily to show you all Pemberley has to offer. Do not fret! We have included your aunt’s list, and Fitzwilliam has even taken the liberty of messaging your aunt’s friends so you might make their acquaintance. We have considered everything, have we not?

I could tell you of the happenings here, and what is new, but I shall save that for your arrival. We can have chocolate and biscuits while we chat late into the night as we did at Worthstone. I believe we would have matters to discuss even should I write of what has occupied my time, but it will be ever so much fun this way!

Lastly, I know Uncle Thomas has claimed it unnecessary, but I must thank you both again for my little Evie. You should see how she has grown! She is not so little anymore, yet she is still the most adorable bundle of kisses and fur. The trainer who handles my father’s dogs has helped me teach her a few tricks, and she is doing so well inside the house. I, however, am not certain the footmen are as pleased with her since they are required to walk her when I cannot. I am eager to show you her accomplishments when you arrive. I am certain Uncle Thomas will be impressed by her progress.

Please hurry to Pemberley, Lizzy. We eagerly await your arrival.

Yours very affectionately,

Georgiana Darcy

I hope you do not mind, but Fitzwilliam requested I enclose a letter. He has taken it upon himself to ensure you are well-entertained for the duration of your stay.

Elizabeth placed Georgiana’s letter to one side, beaming in pleasure at her friend’s excitement. Her anticipation of their journey had only grown since Georgiana departed Worthstone almost a month prior.

The carriage shifted, and she placed a hand to the seat beside her to steady herself. Her husband watched out of the window but appeared unconcerned, so she turned her attention back to her correspondence.

Fitzwilliam’s steady yet bold handwriting stared up at her from the letter, commanding her attention. She traced a finger upon the neat script flowing across the expensive paper. The seal broke easily, and she unfolded the missive.

My dear friend,

Pemberley is ready and awaiting your arrival. I cannot imagine Mrs. Reynolds or Georgiana have missed one detail in preparation for your stay, yet they meet daily to pore over menus and rooms. It is good practice for Georgiana, and I must tell you how I appreciate you beginning her household education while we visited Worthstone. Having her accompany you for your day-to-day meetings with your housekeeper was a splendid idea, and Mrs. Reynolds has commented on how much my sister has learned. My father has been impressed with her new-found knowledge as well.

In regards to your aunt’s list, Father and I have issued invitations to her friends for a dinner party to be held at Pemberley a week after your arrival. If you are not aware, the Leveson and Sutton families are rather prominent in the area, and Mr. Rowley is the vicar at Lambton.

Around mid-July, the Bingleys will pass a week at Pemberley as they journey from their aunt’s home in Wales to Scarborough. You will at long last meet the infamous Miss Bingley, though, in all honesty, I do wish she was not a member of the party. Please do not reveal my secret for while my father and sister may guess, you are the only person to whom I have made that egregious confession.

If you were not told enough in Georgiana’s letter, we anticipate your arrival. It has been many years since we have planned for a month such as this, and I believe even my father is eager for the diversion.

With warmest regards,

Fitzwilliam Darcy
