by-blows def: illegitimate children Juliette Bridgerton may not have been born a Bridgerton but she is a member of the family through good and bad through thick and thin.

In 2025, twenty years after the events that shaped her father's past, Fiadh Lynch is fighting battles no one can see. Once the bright, fearless twin who could take on the world, Fiadh has spent the last three years unraveling in the shadow of a devastating tragedy-the death of her twin sister, Trish. On the outside, she's holding it together. On the inside, she's drowning. And she's hiding not one, but two devastating secrets. The first? She's caught in the relentless grip of an addiction she's too ashamed to admit. Not to her family. Not to her friends. Not even to herself. The second? She's falling for James Holland-the last boy on earth she's supposed to want. Seventeen-year-old James Holland is everything Fiadh should avoid. Trouble. Reckless. Complicated. He's the son of Shane Holland, her father Joey's oldest enemy-a man Fiadh grew up knowing as nothing but dangerous. But James isn't his father. Beneath the sharp edges, the smart mouth, and the bad reputation, he's the only person who's ever really seen her. For years, they've been secret friends. Stealing moments in quiet places, keeping their connection hidden from a world that would tear them apart if it knew. But as their friendship deepens into something more, Fiadh finds herself walking a knife's edge-between loyalty and betrayal, love and destruction, past and future. Both of them are haunted. Both are fighting demons they don't talk about. But maybe... maybe they can save each other. Or maybe they'll drag each other under.

Twenty years after the events of The Boys of Tommen, Aria Wilkinson stumbles upon Shannon Lynch's diary after a collision-quite literally-with Connor Kavanagh. Aria has never had it easy. Raised in the shadow of her absent mother who she had sworn never to become, she's spent her life building walls, attempting to keep people at a distance and Connor Kavanagh is no exception. Forced into rugby at a young age, she's learned to play the part-strong, unshaken, untouchable. But the cracks beneath the surface are getting harder to hide, and no matter how much she tries to hold her world together, the walls she built are beginning to crumble. And of all people, it's Connor Kavanagh standing there, watching the shitstorm unfold. The son of legendary rugby player Johnny Kavanagh, Connor has always kept his circle tight. He's never been one for unnecessary drama or distractions, keeping his head down and his focus locked on his future. But from the moment Aria crashes-literally-into his life, everything shifts. Stubborn, sharp-tongued, and impossible to ignore, she's the one person who refuses to be just another face in the crowd. And no matter how hard he tries, she lingers in his thoughts like an unsolved equation, a challenge he never meant to take on but can't seem to walk away
