This little excerpt on the graphic is from the Annilee Nelson book that's currently part of that Kobo sale I shared about earlier.

Ava is seriously serious about her movie watching.
_______
“But the movie is starting. You can’t leave now, or you won’t know what’s happening.”

“The kitchen is just there.” He pointed to the island that divided the living area from the cooking
area. “I think I’ll still be able to hear. So do you want something?”

“No.” She gave him a push. “Hurry up. Hearing is not the same as hearing and seeing.”

He chuckled. “If you say so, but I think I can still see from the kitchen.”

“Such a sweet story in the continuing saga of the Choices series.”
This is what one reviewer had to say about His Inconvenient Choice.

And here is what the book is about:

He's made his choice. It’s her. Not that his father will ever allow the match.

Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam has always known his father would try to force him into a marriage of convenience, and he has tried to make his peace with it. However, after Kitty Bennet captures his heart, he realizes his only chance at happiness lies in making a very inconvenient, if not impossible, choice.

While the colonel attempts to find his way around his father’s maneuverings, Kitty takes up a plan to do what she can to help the man she loves find his happiness. Blessedly, this plan brings her into Richard’s path and sets them on their way to a possible future together. Unfortunately, at the same time, a profusion of manipulations put their future happiness in jeopardy.

Though Richard’s horizon looks set and his heart’s desire seems out of his reach, he finds he is not alone. Instead, he is surrounded by friends and family who are determined to make it possible for him to choose his own destiny.

This help does not come without some risk for it will require the unearthing of hidden history, and as family secrets are revealed, Richard will discover that the effort put forth in creating a chance for his happiness, could destroy his family.

Welcome back to Discovering Mr. Darcy, one of my Dash of Darcy and ...

In case you missed it, it was my day to share in the SWR Tearoom on Monday. It's all about how busy my life has been lately, and it's because of the whole busy life thing that I didn’t get this shared until today.

And I'm about to jump into another full day of things that need doing.

Today is a book business day. I really need to get an audiobook chapter, first pass done. I also need to finish updating my book promo page for June and switch out the Patreon downloads and free read and hopefully get a bit of writing done as well.

Getting caught kissing your secret boyfriend is NOT the best way to keep him a secret.

A Note from Lacey:
When secretly dating, one should NOT kiss her secret boyfriend where her co-worker can see her. (Ask me or Trish how I know.)

An excerpt from Mary Crawford's story...

“Will you stand with me?” Mary asked. “I will need some friends.”

Gabe pulled out a chair for her to have a seat. “With pleasure, Miss Crawford. With pleasure. However, you should know that I am prone to giving orders, so do not be offended if I occasionally present advice as a command.”

Tom chuckled. “He did not rise to the positions he did without knowing how to give orders, and it seems it has either become part of his fabric or he was always thus. Now, tell me, why you will need friends to stand with you, Miss Crawford.” He leaned forward eagerly.

“She has set her course without your guidance,” Gabe replied.

To Mary, there was a hint of pride in Mr. Durward’s tone, which was excessively pleasing. How long had it been since someone had been proud of her? “Lady St. James was not pleased to see me with a mere mister.”

“From trade,” Gabe added.

“You told her you were in trade?” Tom asked in surprise.

Gabe shrugged. “She was rude.”

Tom rolled his eyes. “She has a Lady before her name. Of course, she was rude.”

“I do not approve of rudeness. I will not accept it from those under my command, nor will I tolerate it with any amount of complacence when it is whispered in front of me in such a fashion as to pretend I am not there while guaranteeing I know what is being said.”

Tom shook his head. “You will have a very hard time finding a wife with such an attitude. Word of a snub of Lady St. James will spread like the fire did through London in 1666, and it could be just as damaging. Rebuilding will not be easy or quick. Ouch! I see no need to kick me.”

“I do.”

Mary blew out a breath. She had just ruined herself. How was she to find acceptance and a husband of any worth if she were to be shunned? She knew very well how vicious Sarah could be.

“Miss Crawford, the cannons will run their course, and when the smoke clears, you will have your prize. Do you know what that prize is?” He shot an angry glare at Tom while speaking gently to her.

She shook her head.

He took her hand. “You will have destroyed the admiral.”

Mary blinked.

“You will have destroyed the admiral,” Gabe repeated.

If you love a heroine with a stiff spine, you'll enjoy this chapter. Patrick might be willing to walk away, but Amanda is not!

Chapter 4 of 4 of Frosted Windowpanes is now available to listen to on YouTube.

And I've got some plans from there:

-- This upcoming Friday, I will post the full audiobook video and after that get the audiobook uploaded to InAudio and Spotify.

-- Then, I'll take at least a week off from posting before starting the next by-the-chapter book over on YouTube. Which book will it be? My lips are sealed on that for now. Subscribe to my YouTube channel so you'll know when I start posting that first chapter.

When it is ready, the full audiobook for this story will be listed in the Nature's Fury and Delights playlist. -----About Frosted Windowpanes: In an attempt ...
