After all the attention on Elizabeth and Jane, it seemed like Mary deserved her own story and where better to set it than a library!

Such a great story. It warmed my heart to see a good story about Mary!~Amazon Review (Med)

Mary goes to the library looking for escape, not love.

With three daughters married in a single year, one would think that Mrs. Bennet’s matchmaking ploys would diminish.

One would be wrong.  Very wrong.

Determined to escape her mother’s affectionate schemes, Mary Bennet takes refuge in Clarke’s library, where she can lose herself among her favorite books and forget the trials of Longbourn.

The strategy works—surprisingly well, in fact—until the morning a tall, handsome stranger demands the very book Mary has already checked out.

Mary refuses to give it up to him.

He refuses to accept her refusal, going so far as to appear on Longbourn’s doorstep.

Now that Mama has seen him, matchmaking is inevitable.

Mary is determined to escape her mother’s plans at all costs. But maybe, just maybe, this time Mama is right.

For Mary Bennet, the greatest surprise may be discovering that the right gentleman can be every bit as fascinating as a good book.
