Now I’m in trouble…

Uh, oh. Now I’m in trouble! You can throw rotten fruit, but no death threats, okay? 😉 I like writing happy books. But last summer I posted something on Facebook about how much I’d enjoyed writing variations where Mr. Darcy had a brother, and suddenly an evil plot bunny sprung full-grown into life right in …
