Touches of Austen (Books 1-3‪)‬

A pretty neighbor ~ a lifelong friend ~ a love forged in secret

It is a truth universally acknowledged that love can be found in new and exciting places or extremely close to home, and the heroes and heroines of this three-book omnibus are about to that truth for themselves.

His Beautiful Bea

When Graeme confirms his suspicions about whom his pretty neighbour, Beatrice, loves, he takes it upon himself to be her champion and help her find happiness. However, along the way, he discovers that should he succeed in his mission, he will be condemning himself to a life of regret without her.

His Darling Friend

While Roger is not ready to give up his bachelor ways just yet, he's not opposed to helping others find their way to marital bliss -- especially, if that someone is a marriage-minded miss who seems to be fond of him. Therefore, when Roger enlists his lifelong friend Victoria's help in his matchmaking scheme, he only means to keep himself safe from being caught in the parson's trap. However, matchmaking schemes do not always go as planned.

Her Secret Beau

Have a season. Meet some handsome gentlemen. Be courted by at least one, fall in love, and live happily ever after. That's all Grace wants. However, when a lady has a sister like Grace does, getting what she wants is going to take a bit of subterfuge. But even the most cautious planning may not be enough, and a love forged in secret may only ever be a bittersweet memory of what could have been.

Leenie Brown's Touches of Austen series is a collection of original, sweet Regency romances that have, in some way, been deliberately touched by her love for Austen's novels. If you like stories set in a Regency world with a girl next door, friends to lover, or secret suitor trope, then you'll enjoy this bundle of three sweet, swoon-worthy romances about stumbling upon or determinedly pursuing love that ends in happily ever after.

So put the kettle on, grab your copy of Touches of Austen (Books 1-3), and join Graeme and Bea, Roger and Victoria, and Walter and Grace as they navigate the sometimes troublesome waters of courtship to claim their greatest prize - a happy future with each other.
