Good Morning to Everyone!
The blog schedule has been full this week, so I am late posting about my new release. Shadows of the Past came out last Sunday, and if you subscribe to my newsletter, you know my mom had a full hip replacement this week, which is why I dropped the novel a full two weeks early. My mom is doing well, thankfully, and recovering.
Here’s the blurb:
Elizabeth is not a Bennet. The circumstances that brought her to Longbourn are shocking. Darcy might be the only person who can help her.
Her past is shrouded in mystery. Having been discovered wounded and wandering a lonely road in
Derbyshire twelve years ago, Elizabeth remembers nothing of her life before the Bennets took her in. Whatever shreds of memory she has are hazy and unclear. Content with the love of her adopted family, she never could have imagined the turn her life would take when Netherfield Park is let at last.
Fitzwilliam Darcy is pleased to assist his good friend Charles Bingley as he learns to navigate estate management. That is, until Bingley begins acting peculiarly around one of the daughters of the neighboring estate. He is baffled by Mr. Bingley’s strange fixation with one sister even as he courts another. Darcy, too, finds Miss Elizabeth fascinating, but feels he cannot fully court the lady while Bingley is behaving so oddly.
When her past identity is revealed, Elizabeth must come to understand how to unite who she was with who she is. The mystery of what happened in her father’s house haunts her, and an unknown enemy seeks to finish what he started twelve years prior. Unable to resist her pull, Darcy joins Elizabeth as she learns to navigate her new life. As the danger mounts, he must protect her at all costs or risk losing the lady he loves forever. The former Miss Elizabeth Bennet is heiress to a fortune and an earldom, but is it worth the cost?
Shadows of the Past is a Pride and Prejudice Variation of medium angst. In this multi-trope, clean, Regency Darcy and Elizabeth story, Elizabeth is not a Bennet and has more exalted connections than she knows.
GUESS WHAT? The audiobook is ALREADY under production!!!

Happy reading! I hope you love it!
I loved the book! I love reading all the p & p Variations. But one of my favorite premise is when Elizabeth is not a Bennet. I will be rereading this book again.
Author
Thanks! This trope is one of my favorites as well.
It sounds interesting and I love the cover!
Author
Me too! The sheep hint at Elizabeth’s past, and the script is supposed to be Bingley’s untidy scrawl.
Wow! That sounds like an amazing story! Just the right amount of angst, and the whole Bingley fixation sounds interesting- I wonder what that’s about.
I hope your mothers feels better soon, and that her new hip will be better for her.

You got it! Good luck!
Please enter me in the drawing! I’m reading it now via KU and the story has me fully engaged. The master villain is truly awful, but Wickham surprised me. And poor Grandmamma–she almost missed her opportunity. Thank you for the chance to win this lovely story.
