Prisoner of Longbourn
About this ebook
The Bennets, he thinks, are an eclectic mix of characters, and at times he finds them difficult to endure. The unresolved question of who caused his accident festers in the back of his mind, leading him to suspect his hosts of deceit.
As his time at Longbourn lengthens, however, Darcy finds himself becoming more accustomed to them. Esteem begins to overtake him as he considers their unstinting hospitality and care for him, a man no more than a stranger to them. In particular, Darcy is intrigued by the second daughter, Miss Elizabeth, a woman unlike any other, and one for whom he quickly develops a liking.
Eventually his forced confinement wears on Darcy, and the coming of a relation he finds difficult to endure, along with the reappearance an old enemy, wreak havoc on his equilibrium. When events happen which demand his action, he cannot allow the family who succored him to suffer from the ignominious behavior of one of their number.
About the author
Jann 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.

Colin Rowland is the brother of Jann Rowland, a well-known author in the realm of transformative works centered around Pride and Prejudice. Colin's interest in the works of Jane Austen began with advice from Jann to read Pride and Prejudice. After having done so, Colin felt inspired by Austen's work, and he now spends his free time penning manuscripts centered around the Regency England period. Such a genre has been a natural choice for him, for while he has always loved to read and enjoys almost every genre there is, his favorites delve into historical periods, from Ancient Rome to World War Two and everything in between.
Though Colin has lived most of his life in Canada, he dislikes cold weather with a passion. This dislike led him to sell his house and move with his wife to the big island of Hawaii, where he loved every minute of the eighteen months they were there. Since returning to Canada, he has settled down in Calgary with his wife of forty-plus years. Together, they are the proud parents of two sons and two daughters. They also act as servants to three dogs, a Border Collie and a Shih Tzu who have been with them since they were puppies, and a Sheltie they took in as a rescue.
