The house party was his idea. Falling in love was not.
Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam's name was not on the guest list for the house party. There was no need to put his name on it. After all, he was already there, he had come up with the idea, and, most importantly, he was not looking for a wife. Of course, one does not have to be looking for love to find it.
Mary Bennet scowls at Richard incessantly, argues with him at every turn, and would rather that he stayed far away from her. And yet, he comes to realize that he can't imagine his future as happy without her.
But how does a gentleman go from the object of a lady's disdain to the man she longs to marry? With any luck, the colonel will bumble his way into happily arguing with Mary forever.
Arguing with Mary is the third novelette in Leenie Brown's Sweet Extras Collection and is a sequel to With Quill and Ink. If you like short and sweet reads that slip easily into the cracks of life, then you will enjoy this Pride and Prejudice inspired romance about two people who seem to be enemies discovering that they are much better together than are apart.
So put the kettle on, download your copy of Arguing with Mary, and steal away for a few moments of sweet indulgence.
