Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was a both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales. At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents!
Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents’ basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading!
Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds! She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn’t find out.
In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters. Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation.
When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

A pretty neighbor ~ a lifelong friend ~ a love forged in secret
It is a truth universally acknowledged that love can be found in new and exciting places or extremely close to home, and the heroes and heroines of this three-book omnibus are about to that truth for themselves.
His Beautiful Bea
When Graeme confirms his suspicions about whom his pretty neighbour, Beatrice, loves, he takes it upon himself to be her champion and help her find happiness. However, along the way, he discovers that should he succeed in his mission, he will be condemning himself to a life of regret without her.
His Darling Friend
While Roger is not ready to give up his bachelor ways just yet, he's not opposed to helping others find their way to marital bliss -- especially, if that someone is a marriage-minded miss who seems to be fond of him. Therefore, when Roger enlists his lifelong friend Victoria's help in his matchmaking scheme, he only means to keep himself safe from being caught in the parson's trap. However, matchmaking schemes do not always go as planned.
Her Secret Beau
Have a season. Meet some handsome gentlemen. Be courted by at least one, fall in love, and live happily ever after. That's all Grace wants. However, when a lady has a sister like Grace does, getting what she wants is going to take a bit of subterfuge. But even the most cautious planning may not be enough, and a love forged in secret may only ever be a bittersweet memory of what could have been.
Leenie Brown's Touches of Austen series is a collection of original, sweet Regency romances that have, in some way, been deliberately touched by her love for Austen's novels. If you like stories set in a Regency world with a girl next door, friends to lover, or secret suitor trope, then you'll enjoy this bundle of three sweet, swoon-worthy romances about stumbling upon or determinedly pursuing love that ends in happily ever after.
So put the kettle on, grab your copy of Touches of Austen (Books 1-3), and join Graeme and Bea, Roger and Victoria, and Walter and Grace as they navigate the sometimes troublesome waters of courtship to claim their greatest prize - a happy future with each other.
