Mr. Hurst's Return
When Mr. Hurst returns to Netherfield just days before Christmas, the last thing anyone expects is for him to change the lives of those around him—least of all Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
Once dismissed as idle and indifferent, Hurst surprises society by showing both wisdom and heart. As he observes the strained relations between his friends and the Bennet family, he begins to intervene in quiet but decisive ways. His efforts, born of regret and newfound purpose, set in motion a chain of events that might mend what pride and misunderstanding once tore apart.
In a season of reflection and renewal, even the most unlikely gentleman can become a catalyst for love.
Mr. Hurst’s Return is a heart-warming Pride and Prejudice variation that proves redemption, friendship, and courage can sometimes be found where they are least expected. It is Book Two in the Netherfield Returns series, a collection of standalone novels exploring how each member of the Netherfield party finds a second chance at love.

About the author
Jann Rowland
82 books191 followersJann Rowland is a Canadian, born and bred. Other than a two-year span in which he lived in Japan, he has been a resident of the Great White North his entire life, though he professes to still hate the winters.
Though Jann did not start writing until his mid-twenties, writing has grown from a hobby to an all-consuming passion. His interests as a child were almost exclusively centered on the exotic fantasy worlds of Tolkien and Eddings, among a host of others. As an adult, his interests have grown to include historical fiction and romance, with a particular focus on the works of Jane Austen.
When Jann is not writing, he enjoys rooting for his favorite sports teams. He is also a master musician (in his own mind) who enjoys playing piano and singing as well as moonlighting as the choir director in his church’s congregation.
Jann lives in Alberta with his wife of more than twenty years, two grown sons, and one young daughter. He is convinced that whatever hair he has left will be entirely gone by the time his little girl hits her teenage years. Sadly, though he has told his daughter repeatedly that she is not allowed to grow up, she continues to ignore him.

I love a good setdown
I may be petty, but I do love it when Miss Bingly gets her comeuppance! Our characters from canon gets makeover and I may say, some at better for it. Light, enjoyable reading, it is a fun, low angst evening read!
