When Baron Orion Fitzwilliam dies unexpectedly, the ton braces itself for a predictable succession. But it is not his son who inherits the barony, it is his daughter.
Lady Anastasia Fitzwilliam was raised for duty, not decoration. As the eldest Fitzwilliam twin, she has always been her father's shadow, his confidante, and the true steward of his estate. With the ink of his will barely dry, she is thrust into power, not as a wife, but as a Baroness in her own right. Now, she must navigate Parliament, scandal-hungry society, and a resentful brother determined to reclaim what he believes is his birthright.
Three months into her new role, Anastasia arrives in London not to debut but to present her younger sister to the marriage mart. Her presence sparks whispers, admiration, and resistance. She is unmarried. Unbothered. And utterly unlike the women the ton expects to curtsy to lords and surrender to propriety.
But power is not without consequence and in the court of high society, every decision is a move in a dangerous game.
Then there is Anthony Bridgerton. Head of his family. Headstrong. And completely unprepared for a woman who doesn't care to be claimed.
"A Lady's Right" is a fiercely feminist Bridgerton-era tale of legacy, ambition, and the cost of forging your own path, even when the world would rather you stay silent.
