Anthony Bridgerton once believed his future was certain-until grief tore it from him. As teenagers, Anthony and Cordelia de Montclair, a French princess, shared a quiet courtship built on friendship, laughter, and first love. But after the sudden death of his father, Anthony withdrew, ending their bond without explanation. Cordelia was sent back to France, her heart broken and her questions unanswered. Years later, Cordelia returns to London for the Season-no longer a girl, but a poised and formidable princess whose presence ignites whispers across the ton. Anthony, now Viscount and bound by duty, finds himself face-to-face with the woman he never forgot. With old wounds resurfacing and society watching their every move, Anthony and Cordelia must decide whether love deserves a second chance-or if the heart of a Viscount is too guarded to claim.

Ten years away gave her plenty of time to refine the art-hatred is, after all, much easier to maintain long-distance. But when the scandal that drove her family from London forces her back into society, Ellery discovers two rather inconvenient truths: Benedict Bridgerton has grown impossibly charming- and hatred is much harder to maintain face-to-face. One accidental scandal, one very public misunderstanding, and one entirely unplanned engagement later... Ellery finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted- and a man she can no longer pretend to hate. From Ellery's perspective, hatred is the safest mask she has left. But masks crack. And when hers does, Benedict is there to catch her-whether she wants to be caught or not. BENEDICT BRIDGERTON X OC (ELLERY MONTFORD) Started: 12/2/25 Completed: RANKINGS: #1 in #lukethompson | 12/3/25 #1 in #lukenewton | 12/3/25

The Bridgertons set out with no agenda beyond one another-laughter, gentle teasing, and the comfortable chaos that only family can bring. Their delighted shouts drawing everyone's attention to the Brown family, longtime friends they have not seen in years. Grace Brown, now eleven and just as spirited as ever, is instantly swept back into the children's orbit, while polite greetings are exchanged between parents who know each other well. Benedict's attention, however, snags on Ruby Brown. At nineteen, she is unmistakably grown, though not at all changed in the ways that matter. Her smile still carries that same irreverent curve, her eyes still sparkle with humor that suggests she sees the world slightly sideways-just as he does. She slips easily back into conversation with Daphne and Eloise, teasing them with affectionate familiarity, her laughter warm rather than practiced. Then there is Leopold-Leo-standing just behind his sisters, tall and protective at seven-and-twenty, offering Benedict an easy grin and a knowing look, as if he can already sense the shift in the air. The Browns, Benedict realizes, remain very much as he remembers them: close, lively, and full of unspoken understanding. When Benedict learns that Ruby will be entering the next Season, the news lands with unexpected weight. She is stepping forward into society-into visibility-while he has spent years skirting the edges, content to let others take center stage. It unsettles him not because he doubts her, but because he recognizes himself in her: the joker who hides sincerity behind humor, the observer who feels deeply but speaks lightly. Perhaps it might offer recognition-of Ruby, of himself, and of the rare comfort found in someone who laughs for the same reasons you do. And as he meets her gaze across the familiar din of family voices, Benedict Bridgerton begins to suspect that the loudest love of his life may come not with grand declarations, but with shared jokes.

Eleanora and Benedict were childhood best friends, often playing together and pulling pranks. However, Eleanora developed romantic feelings for Benedict. Before she could confess, she overheard him telling Anthony cruel words about her-comments meant to impress Anthony, but were deeply hurtful to Eleanora. Heartbroken, she left without confronting him. That same day, she learned her beloved grandmother had died, prompting her family to leave for France. They remained there for two years, during which Eleanora avoided all contact with Benedict. Upon their return, the family began preparing for Eleanora's formal debut into society. What happens when the pair that is desperate not to see each other is forced into being around each other? What's the worst that could happen... I do not own the Bridergton characters.

"I beg your pardon?" "She's of age. You remain unmarried. It would be the sensible match." "Absolutely not." Cassius laughed once, sharp and incredulous. "You know I've had my eye on Eloise for some time now." Silence. "I know," Anthony said calmly. "And yet you persist," Cassius replied dryly. Anthony met his gaze. "Precisely." "NO!" This, at least, Anthony seemed to understand. ｡ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ｡ Cassius is everything society adores-a polished duke, a bachelor, devastatingly charming, impeccably composed.

my lover, my husband / ©teenytinytiny 2026

As the eldest, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has long accepted his duty to marry-yet has vowed to avoid the trap of love. Cynical about romance and burdened by expectations, he is certain he can fulfill his role without ever losing his heart. Enter Miss Clara Everly: intelligent, fiercely independent, and utterly unimpressed by his title or reputation. A woman who defies the conventions of the ton, Clara would rather lose herself in books than in a gentleman's empty promises. When the two meet, she sees past his charm, challenging him in ways no other woman has dared. Their minds spark like kindling, igniting a connection that's as exhilarating as it is unexpected. But as they match wits, Anthony finds himself drawn to more than her beauty-he is captivated by her intellect, her laughter, her guarded warmth. With his heart on the line, he faces a new challenge: to convince the woman who trusts in little that she can trust in him. *I do not own any rights to the Bridgerton franchise or characters*
