Being a governess was truly the only path open to Olivia Fairfax. Left as a child on the doorstep of Miss Clearwater's School for Girls, she had lived her life among the spoiled and rich daughters of the ton. They often eschewed her company due to her unknown history, leaving the girl alone with her books. Still, Olivia worked hard at her studies, earning a post in Sussex at the age of eighteen.

Then she meets her employer's handsome cousin and her life tumbles into chaos. It is not unheard of for a young woman to become a mistress to a rich young lord. But when one mixes in wives, past lovers and best friends, Olivia discovers that she knows nothing about life outside her books.

Dearest gentle reader, it has been bought to my attention a certain Miss Bridgerton is back in town. In the hallowed halls of Regency London, where whispers of romance and scandal intertwine like the delicate tendrils of a climbing rose, Lady Elliana Bridgerton returns to society with the weight of familial expectation upon her shoulders. Fresh from the jubilant nuptials of her sister, she embarks upon her own debutante season, a time when her heart and aspirations dance precariously on the precipice of high society's demands. Yet, as she dons her finest gowns and steps into the glittering ballroom, longing for a match that would elevate her standing, fate conspires to divert her course. For in the midst of swirling gowns and the cadence of laughter, she encounters the enigmatic Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings. With his brooding charm and an allure that ignites a fire within her, Elliana finds herself irresistibly drawn to the very man her heart had sworn to avoid. As the pair navigate the treacherous waters of societal expectation and personal desire, Elliana must confront her own heart's inclinations, discovering that true love often lies in the most unexpected of places. Will she dare to defy the conventions that bind her, or will she succumb to the pressures of propriety? In this tale of passion and intrigue, secrets shall be unveiled, and the bonds of love tested, as Lady Elliana learns that sometimes the most enticing romance is the one that finds you when you least expect it.

England, 1817. Margaret Doria Vickers is the quiet yet independent-minded headmistress of a girls' seminary just outside of London. She believes herself to be pleased with her retiring life, until the Byronic owner of the school arrives, bent on taking up residence alongside the boarders in his dusty old quarters. Edgar Thurlow is a man of many mysteries, who disturbs Margaret's peace of mind and sparks gossip among the servants, though in reality, he means only to mollify his memories with gentler moments, withdrawing himself from the artificial London society he so deeply despises. Even as his bad habits are gradually revealed to the observant headmistress, a strong understanding crystallises between these two social outsiders. Edgar's past proves too strong to compartmentalise, and it distracts and torments him from any present comforts. In the meantime, Margaret's sister Tilly, who is a governess, comes to visit her, which brings back some of Margaret's long neglected memories of a carefree youth. In spite of the exasperations she feels toward Edgar's behaviour, Margaret finds herself seeking him out, and enjoying his unconventional company in the midst of unwanted attentions from old suitors and thoughtless affectations of a naïve younger sibling. She finds him refreshing, and a sort of character out of time that does not appear to fit in anywhere, much like herself. Perhaps Margaret will be the making of his good character - or perhaps he will mature on his own terms, just as she must do.
