"Love for me was like falling off a horse. I fell, got bruised, and lost my will to hop back into the saddle." -Bridget Atherton in a letter to Lady Helen explaining her disinterest in finding herself a husband in height of London's season, 1811.

There are four things that headstrong Bridget Atherton knows with absolute certainty: First, being in love can blind a person from seeing things for what they truly are. Second, this is an especially dangerous habit when one is in the company of agreeable gentlemen. Third, the humiliation that follows her failed courtship during Bridget's first year in high society jades her from actively seeking out a husband. And finally, her life became infinitely less complicated once she decided to remain single. But when a chance encounter throws her into the arms of a handsome stranger, Bridget discovers that what she knew for certain is about to change. Does she decide to play it safe or venture to risk it all in the name of love?

When Helene Lovell finds herself a penniless orphan, she is swept into the world of manners, money, and etiquette, where her cruel Aunt Lady Dorothea is the ringmaster, and never ceases to remind her of her burdensome existence. The only consolation is Henry, who shows Helene friendship and kindness in a place of sadness. Fast-forward a few years, where grown-up Henry and Helene meet again, but Helene must battle her ever growing feelings for him. As she stays as a guest at Henry's families residence, she is unwittingly submerged into the middle of family drama, tragedy, and love. Will Helene be able to overcome her social position, shyness and rank and follow her heart, or simply conform to what is expected of her? ~Dedicated to my grandma, who recently passed away but was the best story teller I knew~ UPDATE: I wrote this book a few years ago on a whim, and also to help distract me from the grief of losing my grandma. As such, it is very unedited! I am leaving it up because it was my first book on Wattpad, and came straight from my heart. I don't really plan on editing it so I am sorry if you notice any errors/holes/mistakes, but hope you can enjoy it in its very rough and unpolished form nonetheless :-)

"You can't marry him, Dor." His hands cupped her warm face, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I don't have a choice, Ben." He felt hot tears under his fingers, as she closed her eyes, and soft eyelashes rested on his thumbs. He felt his throat burn, seeing her like this. She was forced into the marriage. It all made sense now. She fought to catch breath, and Benedict felt his heart falling apart in his chest. "It's all my fault." "No. It's our fault. But I'm the girl. That was my only mistake, being a woman in a world where all the mistakes are harmless, if you are a man." Dorothy is the third daughter of Lord and Lady Quinn. She made her debut three seasons ago, despite her resentment. Luckily for her, she had no luck in securing a bachelor. This season, however, things are about to change... When her mama finds out Dorothy lost her chastity and refuses to admit whom with, she is forced to marry Lord Haddington, a man twice her age.
Loving Lord Bridgerton by LizzyR2017
24 parts Complete Mature
I have known the Bridgertons for most my life. Daphne is my best friend and the closest to a sister I will ever have. Being the only child isn't just lonely. It's a constant reminded of the future I will have if something were to happen to my father, and if I ever try to forget, my mother will be there to make sure I remember. Then there is Lord Bridgerton-- Anthony...I have loved him for as long as I have known what love was. He makes my heart pound and my knees unsteady. One moment of weakness made it easier to believe he could love back, but my mother isn't going to wait for him to maybe ask for my hand. My reality is that I must get married and he will never want to marry me. I have one more London season to find my match before my mother makes one for me... ________________________ This story is based off the Bridgerton books series by Julia Quinn(that I highly recommend). I haven't seen the show (only parts). So, any relation to the characters, situations, or events relating to the book or show clearly do not belong to me. **Please don't come for my history accuracy. I did the best I could.**

And she is right to think so. Matthew Whitfield is not happy upon receiving Rose as a bride. He cannot even look upon her, as she refuses to take off her veil, and has no features he considers attractive. The handsome charming Mr. Whitfield cannot be bothered by the likes of his wife. She is the fulfillment of a contract and nothing more. So he takes a mistress, and falls in love. Victoria Sill is everything Rose is not. Beautiful, gliding, and glowing. She's interested in one thing only, and that is to hold the title of Matthew's wife, Mrs. Whitfield. She doesn't care who she has to crush to get her way, be it Rose herself. Victoria always get what she wants. Be it one way or other. Soon Rose falls upon a secret that turns the tables. In addition, Victoria finds a way to become closer to the Whitfield name. A child. As the circumstances shift, and the Whitfield mansion is thrown into uproar, will this situation bring Matthew and Rose together?
