"Hold me close so I can finally... breathe" Marriage wasn't something Carina Bridgerton looked forward to. And true love was not something she dreamed of. She had declared it very clearly to her family that no marriage shall ever be expected from her entering into the season. Only, curse her luck, she had been named the royal jewel, along with her sister Daphne, the diamond. Now being an incomparable made both of them surrounded by suitors at every turn. And when she could finally breathe freely without having to be surrounded by climps from all directions, Anthony had decided to promise her to the biggest pig of them all. What happens when Carina and The Duke of Hastings lead the biggest scam of the season and fool the entire ton, only to find their relationship so much more than a sham. Inspired by 'Breathe' by James Arthur. (Book 1) (oc x simon basset) (bridgerton s1)
