Summary:
When I saw the letter, I knew it was hers. There was no mistaking it: the salutation, the tiny, precise handwriting, the date, the content itself, all verified its ancient status and authorship…
Samantha McDonough cannot believe her eyes–or her luck. Tucked within an uncut web page of the two-hundred-year old poetry book is normally a letter she believes was written by Jane Austen, talking about with regret a manuscript that “proceeded to go lacking at Greenbriar in Devonshire.” Could there actually be an undiscovered about The Lacking Manuscript of Jane Austen Jane Austen novel waiting to be found? Could anyone withstand the temptation to look for it?
Making her way to the stunning, centuries-old Greenbriar estate, Samantha finds it no easy job to market its owner, the handsome yet uncompromising Anthony Whitaker, on her wild notion of searching for a lost Austen work–until she mentions its possible million dollar benefit.
After discovering the unattributed manuscript, Samantha and Anthony are immediately absorbed in the storyplot of Rebecca Stanhope, daughter of a small town rector, who is going to encounter some bittersweet truths about life and love. Because they continue to read the recently discovered story from the past, a fresh one unfolds in the present–a tale that just might switch both of their lives forever.
