ONE WORD FROM YOU
American Christian Fiction Writers' Genesis Winner for Historical Romance
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
This third Austen in Austin novella is based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Urged by her family to marry for the sake of their dwindling finances, Eliza Branch prefers to pay for the remainder of her time at the Austen Academy by writing for the local paper. There’s plenty to write about now that railroad baron William Delacourt has come to Austin. His proposed northbound line may be good for local business, but she’s still stinging from his terrible first impression. If the rumors about William are true, then he deserves to be skewered in print. But when Eliza’s pen gets ahead of her conscience, it’s William who makes everything right—and the reasons behind his sacrifice just might be the story of Eliza’s lifetime.
"I enjoyed galloping through this energetic and endearing story. Looking forward to reading more of Dietze's stories." ~ Amazon reviewer
