Mary had always wanted one thing, love, someone who wanted her for her. Not for her family's money. She dreamed of a lovematch, the opposite of the relationship between her own parents.

Back in Mayfair after years in France, Miss Alice Auclair receives an invitation to meet Benedict Bridgerton - her childhood friend with whom she shared countless afternoons beneath an old oak tree, and a promise to paint the sky together. Now a talented artist herself, Alice reconnects with the thoughtful, travel-hardened Benedict as they navigatethe 1814 social season. With society pushing for quick matches and Lady Whistledown watching closely, they take their time building a bond rooted in shared passions and old memories, wondering if their friendship will bloom into lasting love.

The season in which Anthony Bridgerton decides to marry. Anthony Bridgerton is searching for a wife out of duty, not love. At the first ball of the season, he meets Lillian Kensington-Lily-who is crowned the Queen's Diamond of the Season that very night. She is everything he is looking for. But Lily has no desire to marry. She longs for freedom, not obligation. What begins as a careful choice soon turns into something far more dangerous, as stolen glances, lingering touches, and unspoken feelings blur the line between duty and desire. And the more Anthony tries to claim her, the more he realizes- this lady may cost him his heart.

After spending years as one of the most notorious rakes of the ton, Anthony Bridgerton has decided it's time to settle down and carry on the family line. He knows love exists, because his parents were a shining example of a loving, happy marriage. Still, he has no intentions of falling in love with his intended bride. Anthony's father died quite young, so Anthony believes, albeit irrationally, that he will die young too. Falling in love is a complication he doesn't need in his already too short life, so he sets out to court the beauty who is the latest toast of the ton. She is a woman who meets his requirements for a wife, but with whom he could never see himself falling in love. Anthony just didn't count on the infuriating lady stirring his desires in a way no other woman ever has. Amelia Windsor has no intention of allowing Anthony Bridgerton anywhere near herself. She vows to do whatever it takes to interfere with the rakish viscount's courtship, but in the process manages to unintentionally get herself into some outlandish situations, which also place her into close proximity with the man himself. Her encounters with Anthony leave her hot and bothered and feeling confused. But outside forces draw the two apart. Princess Amelia is engaged to King of Spain, while Anthony is forcefully engaged to Miss Edwina Sharma. Neither are a love match. Can the two break free of their chains and reunite? Or will they forever be held in place by their mistakes, regrets, and societal expectations? We shall find out, my gentle reader. #2 lovesquare

Being the youngest daughter of the King and Queen of England had challenges, but Evelyn believed that she had faced them with bravery and valour only parallel to the Knights of Camelot. Intrigued by myth and history, Evelyn shies away from the ton, indulging in conversations unladylike and often improper. Wayfair would never speak ill of their Royal Highness. Five years a spinster, the Queen Charlotte pushes her daughter towards society and into this Season of Love. A woman with many secrets, Evelyn assures herself that she will not allow any suitor to marry her, despite what her mother may want, but when she carelessly strikes a deal with the second born Bridgerton, and becomes enraptured by his family, that assurance becomes hesitant. Her Royal Highness Princess Evelyn has never wanted love, not when it is often regretted, but love cares little for her want, and even less for her secrets. Benedict Bridgerton x OC [Season 2 - ]

After escaping a bad relationship, Amelia Buckley was left with an overwhelming amount of emotions. She was scared, relieved, and alone all at once. She hadn't spoken to her parents in years and hadn't seen her brother or sister in a long time either. She got a job as a bar tender in a bar on the wrong side of the tracks in Boston, Massachusetts. She hated it, but it was the only place where she thought her ex wouldn't find her; but she was wrong. He broke into her apartment - that was above the bar - one night and assaulted her. The next day, she got a call from her brother asking her to join him in LA, and she said yes without hesitation. She packed up her things and fled in the middle of the night with her daughter after the bar had closed so that nobody would see her. A short flight later, she landed in Los Angeles, California, and was reunited with her brother after years of not seeing each other in person. She joins the 118 as a rookie firefighter and finally lets herself be happy. But all of that is threatened when her past begins to catch up with her. 9-1-1, Season 1 - 7
