She's got a plan. He's not part of it. When the Elliot family of Persuasion joins the community of Pride and Prejudice fireworks will commence. Lizzy Bennet wants to see a happy ending for her best friend Charlotte and for her sister, Jane. And while she's at it, she might try to save young Mary Elliot from a fortune-hunter! Lizzy forms a strategy to help her friends without transgressing society's rules, but there's one gentleman visitor to Meryton who is NOT part of her plan, Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy, falling head over heels, might just insert himself into the plan—if he can get over his starch and reserve. Lizzy may save more than one crossed set of lovers if she is successful, but will she be too distracted to give Mr. Darcy a chance?

Hello! I'm Corrie Garrett, indie author of the Alien Cadet trilogy, the Austen Ensemble, and other romance novels. I'm currently working on a story about the characters of Mansfield Park, as well as an historical fantasy in the Byzantine Empire. I love to read as well as write - mainly young adult (contemporary, dystopian, adventure, science fiction), romance (Christian, suspense, historical), science fiction, and urban fantasy. Ask a question, make a recommendation, or just say hello - and thanks for stopping by!
