The social season of 1817 is in full swing, and the Ton's eyes are fixed on the Bridgertons once again. While the elusive Benedict chases a mysterious "Lady in Silver," and the gossip of Lady Whistledown reaches a fever pitch, Lady Grace Bridgerton is making her own quiet debut. Grace is the seventh child-the observer, the sister who prefers the shadows of the library to the glare of the ballroom. She doesn't seek a husband; she seeks a kindred spirit.

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 **

Diana Featherington is the only child of the younger brother of the Baron Featherington. With the passing of both parents Diana has lived with the Baron and his wife since the age of five. Living across the street from the Bridgerton family has allowed for Diana to become close friends with Daphne. Both girls are making their debut into society this social season. Diana has high hopes of finding a future husband. But the one man she really wants she may not be able to have.
