“What do you mean I am not allowed entrance?” Reginald Fitzwilliam, Viscount Westonbury, glared at Mr. Nibley.
“Just that, my lord. The countess has informed me that you are not allowed entrance without specific invitation.”
“But it is my home!”
“Not at present, my lord. Your residence is the house in Brook Street.”
“The house in Brook Street?” Wes huffed and looked at the sky above him before continuing. “I fully realize that my residence is in Brook Street. However, this is also my home, and I will not leave without seeing my mother.”
[from Persuading Miss Mary, book 4 in the Marrying Elizabeth Series]
Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

Love the picture. What a beautiful building. Oh dear, poor boy has his mother’s ire. I think he is about to have a ‘Come to Jesus’ conversation with his mother. He may be a viscount, but she is still a countess in addition to being his mother. What on earth has happened?? What has he done… now??? I can’t wait to see. I like this guy. I can’t help myself.
The ire of Lady Matlock is nothing with which to be trifled. LOL I am pretty sure Wes knows this well as he is a scamp. He’d also like to know what he has done at this point. 🙂
This is an interesting beginning to Wes and Mary ‘s story. Poor Wes! He is in for quite a shock.
He is! 😀
Uh oh. Hmmmm…. looking forward to tomorrow.
Oh, Lady M is delightful 🙂 Just the sort of mum that Wes needs. Haha!
