Have you heard? Mr. Darcy is back ... After a long and mysterious absence, Mr. Darcy has returned to Pemberley from the Far East. He is but a shell of the man who disappeared into the night after the death of his beloved Elizabeth three years ago. The cloud of grief and self-pity that hovers over him cannot even be dispelled by his own young daughter Eliza, the last heir to his and Elizabeth's union, whom he left in the care of his sister that terrible night. The rumors in town go unanswered as the pale and withdrawn Darcy hides away, resisting all attempts to reintegrate him into society. His sister, however, is not so easily swayed and is determined to find him a wife (and Eliza a mother) of good repute ... and she has just the woman in mind. Set about four years after the events of Pride and Prejudice, Anja Bligh's Mr. Darcy's Second Chance is a warm, fascinating account of a love found for one of the most beloved characters of Victorian romance.

A charmingly quirky seaside town offers a recently separated restauranteur a fresh start and possibly a new lease on love in A Season for Second Chances, by the author of The Twelve Dates of Christmas. Annie Sharpe’s spark for life has fizzled out. Her kids are grown up, her restaurant is doing just fine on its own, and her twenty-six-year marriage has come to an unceremonious end. Untethered for the first time in her adult life, she finds a winter guardian position in a historic seaside home and decides to leave her city life behind for a brand-new beginning. When she arrives in Willow Bay, Annie is enamored by the charming house, the invigorating sea breeze, and the town’s rich seasonal traditions. Not to mention, her neighbors receive her with open arms—that is, all except the surly nephew of the homeowner, whose grand plans for the property are at odds with her residency. As Christmas approaches, tensions and tides rise in Willow Bay, and Annie’s future seems less and less certain. But with a little can-do spirit and holiday magic, the most difficult time of her life will become…a season for second chances.
