Sweet Second Chances Persuasion Variation: Books 4-6
(2026)(A book in the Sweet Second Chances Persuasion Variation series)
An omnibus of novels by Meg Osborne
Three retellings of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
A Surprise in Shropshire
Captain Frederick Wentworth is home on leave, two years after his failed engagement. The last place he wants to return to is Somerset, but fortunately his curate brother is now happily settled in Shropshire - a place that holds no bad memories and no chance of running into Anne Elliot.
When Charles Musgrove's aunt is taken ill his mother is determined to go and nurse her sister and asks him to accompany her, along with their neighbour and friend Anne - an idea Charles approves of, as it might finally give him the chance to propose properly. At least, until they meet another new arrival in Shropshire who is already acquainted with Anne Elliot of Somerset.
A Return to Lyme Regis
Anne Elliot is miserable in Bath and counts her cousin, Mr William Elliot, as one of the few acquaintances she truly values. When he suggests a visit to Lyme Regis with Lady Russell, Anne agrees, seeing this as a gesture of friendship and a much-needed escape from the Bath society she dislikes and unaware that her godmother sees a potential match between her and the heir to Kellynch Hall.
Captain Frederick Wentworth has travelled to Lyme Regis to patch up a peculiar falling out between his two friends, Captain Benwick and Captain Harville, and delay his all-but-settled engagement to Louisa Musgrove when he learns of Anne's impending engagement...
A Meeting in Monkford
Captain Frederick Wentworth has suffered illness and injury and as a result can remember very little of his past life. In an effort at convalescence - and sparking some memories - his brother Edward is persuaded to bring him back to Somerset, staying with the Crofts at Kellynch, and revisiting Monkford, where the two brothers once spent a happy half-year.
Anne Elliot does not expect to be confronted by Frederick Wentworth again - much less a Frederick who has no memory of their time together, or of her. But as they are reacquainted again it becomes clear that even if Frederick's mind has forgotten her, his heart has not.
