Dear Cate: A Jane Austen in California Novella

by Reina M. Williams

Visit a small town with a heart as gold as the California hills! Settle in a cozy seat and enjoy these sweet, Austen-inspired stories of pride and prejudice, persuasion, and matchmaking in this modern "country village."

Easily persuaded Cate’s small town existence is shaken when former love Nick Wentworth returns home. The two childhood friends form a tentative peace, but Cate knows she broke Nick’s heart and he’ll never forgive her, just as she hasn’t forgiven herself. When Nick seems interested in their friend Louisa, she feels there’s no hope for the love still in her heart. Cate needs to forgive herself, and, with the help of her Rancho Valle family, make a new path forward. Nick wants the same thing, but he can’t trust Cate. Can they find their way back to each other?
