Hi friends! Happy Monday! Happy August! ☀️

It’s my favorite month and I am excited to start it with a visit from Heather Moll!! 🙌🏼

Heather has a new book coming out September 1st titled – Her Affections and Wishes – and it sounds like it involves a house party! ⛲️🃏🪭🐎

Heather is here to share the stunning cover for Her Affections and Wishes. 📖

We hope you enjoy! 🤗

~ From the Author ~

Thank you for the warm welcome, Meredith! Coming to Austenesque Reviews with a cover reveal is the best way to launch a book. I’ve done this 12 times, so here we are for Lucky 13!

Her Affections and Wishes takes place after Hunsford when Lady Catherine notices Elizabeth is a little down and insists, I mean, arranges for her to go to a house party for the Epsom races where maybe she’ll meet a man. And, lo-and-behold, Darcy is grudgingly roped into going too by a friend. Both of them are very reluctant—until they realize the other one is there. Second chances, anyone?

They might get together early, but a series of accidents makes Darcy fear they might be deliberate attacks on Elizabeth. Amid the parlour games and race activities, is there someone who wants Elizabeth out of the way?

I wanted a cover that featured the romance more than the mystery, and Evelyne Labelle at Capre Librum didn’t disappoint. She never does. She’s a rockstar and I love the longing energy she brought to this Elizabeth. Our happy couple spend time on the grounds together, amid the antics, and this cover captures that spirit. Isn’t she so pretty in pink?

~ Book Description ~

A harsh refusal healed. But a fresh proposal could put them both in deadly danger…

Elizabeth Bennet harbors regrets. After curtly rejecting an unwanted offer of marriage, the lively young lady worries that she’s failed to live up to her own ideals. So when she accepts an invitation to a house party, she’s delighted to spot her would-be suitor among the other guests.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is striving to soften his blunt edges. Promising to watch over a friend’s younger brother, the dashing gentleman is thrilled when the dreaded duty brings him face-to-face with the lovely woman. And hoping she’s willing to look beneath the surface, the proud man devotes himself to proving that his desires remain unchanged.

Agreeing to a quiet engagement, Elizabeth blissfully dismisses the string of potentially fatal accidents that start dogging her steps. And though Darcy admires his beloved’s attempts to see the good in everyone, he fears someone is trying to thin the competition in the marriage mart.

Will their blossoming reconciliation be cut short by an invisible hand?

This is a kissing only, full length Pride and Prejudice variation

And without further ado….here is the big reveal!!!

(Expected release date September 1st)

and the full wrap…

Sumptuously stunning! The posture, the pose, the font – everything is so elegant. 🪭

I’m in love with  pink tint and garden background, and the flowering arbor??? So gorgeous! 🌸

I love a house party – I can’t wait to see the interactions and diversions everyone takes part in. 🃏

Sounds like there is some hint of intrigue and danger in this house party as well… 😮

What do you think, friends? 🤔
