Persecution & Providence

Miss Chelsea Careen Stanton, the heiress of Cherrywood Manor and orphaned daughter of a country squire, finds herself in peril. The ward of reckless relations, they have placed her inheritance in jeopardy.

She has few alternatives. Marry Lord Thornbridge, a philandering rake of the worst kind, or take her chances as a mail-order bride to Braydon McLane, an Irish-American clergyman, without a Pemberley.

Will her ability to see life through rose-colored glasses and romantic Jane Austen novels help her rise to the challenge?

Married to her husband for more than twenty-five years, Lisa genuinely believes inside every good husband, there is a Darcy hero in there somewhere. Like-minded readers and Austen fans will enjoy this sweet, clean, inspirational romance novel from The Lydia Collection about a hopelessly romantic Austen fan with courageous faith. Easily read as a stand-alone or enjoyed with the whole series.
