"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?All Rights Reserved

"You can't scare away every man who shows up at my door!" "I can damn well try." He kept his tone quiet as he stepped closer to her. "You have no idea of the grip you have on me Hanford and I'll be damned if you fall in love with someone who isn't me." Aurora Hanford was just hoping for the best outcome for her debut season. She didn't account for Benjamin Bridgerton to make a mess out of her life with little to no words. He presented himself in her life very prominently and the girl quickly grew fond of his watchful gaze and hushed words. Aurora found herself falling for the brooding man and he realized he was falling just as deeply. Neither expected their love to form as something more or to blossom as it quickly did. Their love was a fairytale in a world where true love unions were extremely rare. They had their naysayers, their supporters, but most importantly they had each other. Even if in the beginning, neither knew it just yet. FEM! OC x MALE! BRIDGERTON OC

"My heart ached for her when she wasn't near, but it skipped a beat when I saw her." It is Elizabeth Johnston's second debutante, she finds it pressuring that even the Queen is sending her hope in finding a suitable husband.

Lady Quinn // Benedict Bridgerton by melbeeta

"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.

[1] The Queen Dowager of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton by f1royalty

The tale of Her Majesty The Queen Dowager of Württemberg unfolds not as a fairy-tale love story with a happily ever after but as a narrative of growth and resilience. Returning to London with her youngest children after her husband's demise, she steps back into the swirl of the 1813 social season. Life demanded many sacrifices from Charlotte, but none weighed as heavily as the sacrifice of her enduring love, especially for one man-a particular Viscount. Thirteen years after burying the echoes of their first love, fate orchestrates a poignant reunion between Charlotte and the Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton. What they believed to be entombed emotions rise to the surface with each encounter, proving that some feelings, no matter how deeply buried, refuse to remain silent. Love crashes onto their souls once again, defying the passage of time and stirring the embers of a connection they thought had long faded away. The 1813 social season will definitely be as unexpected as it will be beautiful and scandalous. Lady Whistledown shall have to purchase more ink... Disclaimer: All original rights and credits of this amazing series goes to its creators. And of course, the original creator of all characters and books, Julia Quinn and to Chris Van Duden, the creator/showrunner/executive producer of the Netflix Original Series: Bridgerton. The only new/added characters are Princess Charlotte, etc, and its ideas belong to me.

I Shall Not Marry for Love...or Shall I? by BethSeeves

Our Viscount has made it official, he will marry this upcoming London season, but not for love that he shall not do. Maybe a certain Lady Denver can change his mind? (Disclaimer I do not own the Bridgerton franchise, I only own my character and my plot changes other than that the work belongs to Julia Quinn and Netflix Bridgerton)

Masked Hearts: A Bridgerton Story by KissesnKillz

Benedict Bridgerton x Black Reader After travelling suspiciously from one end of England to the other The Russell's find themselves in Mayfair right in the heat of courting season, but Ayesha wants no role in such a thing. Or so she thought. This story is NOT based on the books, takes place after season two. My own thoughts and ideas. ** I do not own the rights to any of these characters.**

The House Guest (Unedited) by Purplejeans

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 :-)

The Wallflower by Polin1824

After a night of wonder under flowers and fireworks, Penelope Featherington thought she was on top of the world. Things seemed to go perfectly for once in her life. Until, her best friend discovers something she's been hiding for years. And to top it all off she overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear. And for the first time in her life Penelope truly feels like she's alone in the world. Penelope must look inside herself and decide once and for all if she will continue her usual wallflower ways or if it's time for her to step into the spotlight and claim the life she has always dreamed of having. Colin Bridgerton was, in his own estimation, perfectly happy being single. He enjoyed the occasional dance with the beautiful debutantes and his charming ways lead him to be quite a flirt. However he knew deep down it meant nothing. He was not in search of a wife, in fact he wasn't even ready to entertain the idea of finding one. He did however find himself involved in a rather deep and genuine friendship with one, Miss Penelope Featherington. But when his own foolish remarks threaten to ruin there relationship forever, he must decide whether he can let her go or if there is maybe something he hadn't seen in her before. Could Prince Charming (or rather Mr. Charming) truly set aside his rakish ways for one wallflower? Or will the secrets she's hiding tear them even farther apart? What happens when a wallflower blossoms?
