My Dearest Charlotte

All her life, Danielle Winthers has felt like Charlotte Lucas-forever overlooked and longing for adventure. When Mason Jones, her middle school crush returns to her hometown of Landing, Alabama, Danielle wonders if her chance has finally come. With encouragement from her close friend, Roland Harmon, Danielle finds the courage to tell Mason how she feels, until it becomes obvious he is in love with someone else.
Brokenhearted, a proposal comes Danielle's way. It's a proposal without a ring, but one of escape. An unexpected, all-expenses-paid work trip to England gives Danielle the chance to flee her hometown and heal her heart. But what had seemed like a simple adventure becomes more complex when a bet is struck and Danielle begins to wonder if her bargaining chip is too much to risk.
The price? A life of simplicity with her heart intact, or adventure and a heart that could shatter.
Torn, Danielle ponders if even practical Charlotte Lucas would have known what to do when life opens the most unexpected of doors.
