THE HEIRESS: THE REVELATIONS OF ANNE DE BOURGH

by Molly Greeley

As a Fussy Baby, Anne de Bourgh's doctor prescribed Laudanum to quiet her, and now the young woman must take the opium-heavy tincture every day. Growing up sheltered and confined, removed from sunshine and fresh air, the pale and overly slender Anne grew up with few companions except her cousins, including Fitzwilliam Darcy. Throughout their childhoods, it was understood that Darcy and Anne would combine their vast estates of Pemberley and Rosings. But Darcy does not love Anne or Want her.

After her father dies unexpectedly, leaving her his vast fortune, Anne has a moment of clarity: what if her life of fragility and illness isn't truly real?, what if she could free herself from the medicine that clouds her sharp mind and leaves her body weak and lethargic?, Might there be a better life without medicine she has been told she cannot live without?,

In a frenzy of Desperation, Anne discards her Laudanum and flees to the London home of her cousin, Colonel John Fitzwilliam, who helps her through her painful recovery. Yet once she returns to health, new challenges await. Shy and utterly inexperienced, the wealthy heiress must forge a new identity for herself, learning to navigate a “Season” in society and the complexities of love and passion. The once wan, passive Anne gives way to a braver woman with a keen edge—leading to a powerful reckoning with the domineering mother determined to control Anne's fortune...and her life.

From the trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women whose lives, loves and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war.

Soon the couples are growing close with Kit and Jamie commuting to work together via riverboat.
