    About this ebook

    Other men fell in love in an instant. Not him!

     

    He was only pretending to love her. She was just a friend in need of his assistance to ward off an unwanted suitor.

    But then, if that were true, why did he feel as if his future would be incomplete without her in it?

     

    Download Pretending to Love Mary and join Colonel Fitzwilliam as he attends a ball and attempts to keep Miss Mary Bennet safe from an unwelcome proposal as well as the schemes of a disappointed and jealous lady and her sister. You will discover, just as the colonel does, that it is not an easy task nor is it one without great risk, for if things do not go well, he may find his own heart is the greatest casualty.

     

    Pretending to Love Mary is the fourth novelette in Leenie Brown's Sweet Extras Collection and is a sequel to His Father's Last Gift.

    Leenie Brown

    Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was a both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales.  At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents! Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents’ basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading! Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds!  She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn’t find out. In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction.  Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters.  Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation. When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).
