Winner of the Austen Writers' Awards 2020 - Sanditon category. 

Sidney Parker is set on never marrying, but when it is the only way to save a young lady from ruin he changes his mind. Still a reluctant groom, he is determined a wife will not change his life, but soon finds he was quite mistaken. He struggles with his changing feelings, unaware that so does she. Will circumstances and words unspoken keep them apart, or will they find a way to unlock each other's hearts?

Sidney's and Charlotte's gripping love story, written in a different setting but aiming to stay true to their characters.

In addition to the Austen Awards, this story did to my delighted surprise also win in the Sanditon Survival book club's (Facebook group for Sanditon lovers)  '2020 Sanditon Fanfiction Awards' - categories 'Completed story' and 'AU story'. You who have read and encouraged me are truly the best! Thank you!

Thank you to Grainne Swann for making me the adorable cover.

*BEING RE-WRITTEN* "I never once told you I broke the engagement," his words were harsh and spoken in a cold voice but his hand that was running up and down my back was burning my skin, "You knew I hadn't and you still went along with it." There was a silence, the brutal truth had been said. He knew it and I couldn't bring myself to admit it. But he was right, every word that came out of his mouth was true. "Admit it Rylee you're in love with me." *** Rylee Jordan is now jobless and homeless after calling of her wedding on her wedding day to her boyfriend of 5 years. She is now desprate for a job. Sebastian Reynolds is your average coldhearted, mean CEO. Now a widower with three spoilt young children and he just can't cope. When Rylee runs into Sebastian, literally and spills coffee all over him and Sebastian demands for her to pay for his brand new suit but not with money... With looking after his three young children. With constant trips to the toy store and late night conversations about babies and diapers and A LOT of arguments. Rylee see's there is more to Sebastian then he lets on. But with one kid who can't stand Rylee, a man who claims to be desperately in love with her, an ex-fiancè who isn't backing down without a fight, a meddling affair, a crazy fiancèe and a bunch of undiscovered secrets. Will two ever just get together and look after the CEO's trio?

Torn asunder by a cruel twist of fate, Charlotte and Sidney go their separate ways. Sidney, in particular, suffers a great deal and by the time he reappears, he is so altered that he is almost unrecognisable. Charlotte too does not have quite the glamorous, independent adventure she might have hoped for. Like any good soap opera, a few characters get killed off along the way - but don't worry, you won't miss them too much! A broken fairytale... with a happy ending. (With apologies to Robinson Crusoe, Jane Eyre and other classics I may have borrowed from!)
