The eldest Bridgerton sister returns to London to be flaunted in society. [Bridgerton - S1] SIMON BASSETT Undergoing Edits I don't own any the rights!

Miss Vivienne Hayes had nothing to offer: no title, no dowry, and no family. Lord Anthony Bridgerton is the most eligible and sought-after bachelor in Mayfield: devastatingly handsome, rich, and powerful. What happens when the one girl with nothing to claim-and nothing to lose-is selected as the season's diamond? This social season will be raved about for ages.

It is said that second-born sons have all the fun. This much is certainly true for Benedict Bridgerton, free from the burdens held by his eldest brother, the Viscount. One must wonder, how does the second eldest Bridgerton spend his time? To the ton's surprise, it seems a certain lady may have captured his attention this evening. Could Benedict Bridgerton, the tortured artist of the clan, finally find himself a reason to settle down? And could Madeleine Sinclair, who has until now, been doomed for a future of spinsterhood, finally find herself in a love match? ** this story may not chronologically follow the events of the show and things may be switched around in order to compliment the storyline **

Witty, daring and with a secret knack for painting Frances Granville arrives at London with two convictions: one, that she is not interested in men, especially not in lords who parade impeccably around courting innocent young ladies at balls only to close their nights in brothels. Two, that if she does not secure a husband, her father will make a match with someone at least twice her age and half her wits. Franny navigates the courting season, her loving and quaint family and her attraction to a certain Bridgerton brother with a charming smile while she finds her own definition of what it means to be a woman in the Regency era.
