Reunited

Captain Frederick Wentworth has learnt to his cost that he loves Anne Elliot and always has: though it took the threat of losing her to illness and then to another suitor for him to realise the truth of his feelings. When he is invited, with his brother Edward, to spend Christmas in Somerset with his sister, he is delighted to find Anne will be spending the season with her own sister, in nearby Uppercross, rather than at Bath as he had assumed. Anne is eager to learn whether the affection Frederick once had for her remains, as she has dared to hope it might. Free of the threat of other attachments, they might admit their true feelings and embark on a future together, if only the busy Christmas season and interfering friends and family will allow them to! Reunited is the final book in the three part Love Remains novella series, a variation on Jane Austen's Persuasion.
