When Miss Arabella Fairchild enters London society for her first Season, she is well aware that her family's newly earned fortune places her under the sharp scrutiny of the ton. The daughter of a powerful shipping magnate may possess beauty, wit, and confidence but in the eyes of society, she is still an outsider. Lord Sebastian Ashford, heir to a dukedom, has spent his life among the old and established families of England. Reserved, principled, and fiercely protective of his reputation, he has little interest in the ambitious new arrivals hoping to climb society's ranks. But when Arabella Fairchild refuses to be intimidated by him, Sebastian finds himself faced with something entirely unexpected. A woman who challenges him. A woman who intrigues him. A woman he cannot seem to avoid. As whispered rumors and eager suitors threaten to pull them in opposite directions, their sharp exchanges slowly give way to something far more dangerous than rivalry. Because pride is a difficult thing to overcome. But falling in love with one's greatest adversary may prove far more perilous still.

London's glittering society thrives on appearances. Every smile hides a judgement. Every dance invites speculation. Every conversation becomes a rumour before morning. Ebony Quinn has never cared for the expectations placed upon young ladies of the Ton. Marriage, fortune, and titles hold little appeal compared to freedom and independence. Colin Bridgerton, however, is everything society admires - charming, admired, and perfectly at ease among London's elite. They should never have met. Yet a single moment in a garden changes everything. As whispers begin to spread and curiosity turns into something far more dangerous, Ebony and Colin soon discover that the greatest scandal of the season may not be gossip at all... but falling in love where everyone can see.

Dash Blathwayt, Viscount Dyrham, loathes surprises. He prides himself on order and control, and his meticulously planned annual summer party at Dyrham Park is meant to proceed without a single misstep. But when he wakes to a peculiar white cloud drifting across the horizon, he has no idea it heralds a storm of events that will upend his carefully governed life. A locket holds the key to Dia's past and her future. Miss Dia Daywater never expected her quiet life as a French tutor to end in flight. Raised in a French orphanage and trained to serve the English aristocracy, she has learned to survive by keeping her head down and her life mapped out. But when her mysterious locket draws dangerous attention, Dia is forced to flee straight onto the grounds of Dyrham Park and into the path of its enigmatic master. As danger closes in and forced proximity blurs the lines between duty and desire, Dia must decide whether to trust the man offering her refuge. She knows all too well that a woman in her position has no place in the heart-or the life-of a viscount. Book Four in the A-Z of Romance: Regency series.

Brielle Bridgerton, the third child of Edmund and Violet Bridgerton, and twin sister of Benedict Bridgerton. The "ton's Aphrodite," or, as the majority prefer to call her, the "Spinster." At twenty‑five, she is unmarried, nor did she make her official debut, as she had "fallen ill" when she was supposed to make her first debut. The ton whispers that the eldest Bridgerton sister wasted her youth - or her chance at finding a suitable match for someone her age. So when it was announced that Brielle Bridgerton is finally making her official debut, the ton could not help but talk. They whisper that she is going to waste her time, since there is no eligible bachelor her age who isn't looking for a mother for his children or who isn't an old man. But who knows, maybe this spinster can find her prince charming... or will she be left an old maid? ------------------- I do not own Bridgerton, only my original characters (OCs) and the majority of the plot, as this fanfic is a prequel to the original series.

To survive the road, they will need each other. To survive what waits at journey's end, they will have to choose each other.

🏆 2025 Amby Favorite 🏆 Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family.

Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

In which a wayward goose, a secret heiress, and a grumpy Duke collide in the most absurd courtship the ton has ever seen. Lady Octavia Seabourne only wanted a peaceful promenade and perhaps a cat or five. What she got instead was a goose with delusions of knighthood, a scandalous title dispute, a Duke who weaponizes eyebrow raises, and a household that steadily becomes overrun with affection, chaos, and very opinionated pets. As accidental touches turn into intentional swoons, and as feathery chaos spirals into sweet romance, one thing becomes clear: Love, much like Sir Archibald Featherstone III, does not obey rules. A Regency romcom filled with flirtatious disasters, fluffy creatures, too many titles, and the ungooseable truth: This is A Most Peculiar Courtship
