Eliza Tate, the American, steps off the boat and into a whirlwind of British nobility in search of a husband. Not by her choice for that matter, but of her senator father, looking to plant roots in the British parliament. As far as she knows.
Of course, not just anyone can look for a match during the British social season. Eliza's great uncle so graciously offered to sponsor her as his daughter, Bronwyn, is attending her first social season in London. The odds are stacked against both of them, as the nobility isn't too fond of an American trying to gain any favors in the sacred tradition.
Especially, a certain Viscount who is making his intentions known for the first time in the social season after a not so secret breakup with his soprano lover. Why, Lord Anthony Bridgerton of course.
At what stakes does Eliza really need to find a husband? And can she convince any of the nobility to fall in love with her?
Only time will tell and it is sure to be another memorable social season if I do say so myself.

New faces grace our glittering ballrooms - most notably the daughters of the Earl of Somerset, presented to society for the very first time. Yours truly, **Lady Whistledown's Society Papers** ~ The Earl's daughters are opposites in every regard. Lady Marie, the younger, is softness and sweetness itself, earning the coveted title of Diamond of the Season. Her beauty and gentle charm quickly capture the admiration of Mr. Benedict Bridgerton, who appears every inch the attentive suitor. Yet it is her elder sister, Lady Esther - sharp-witted, bold, and far less inclined toward obedience - who truly unsettles him. With their father quietly pressing for a match to secure his own hidden interests, what begins as a season of promise soon becomes a matter of urgency. And when fate intervenes, it is not the sister meant to be chosen who must secure a husband before the final dance. For in matters of the heart, dear reader, desire rarely follows expectation.Complete
The Viscount's Vow
Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has made a vow to marry this season, to choose a bride with sense over sentiment, and to avoid scandal at all costs. What he did not vow was to endure the sharp tongue and sharper wit of Miss Florence Evergreen, the daughter of a botanist who's more interested in her greenhouse than the marriage mart. However Florence has no interest in the games of the wealth, let alone the arrogant viscount Anthony who seems determined to affront her at every turn. He's prideful, predictable and so maddeningly proper. She's stubborn, unpredictable, and she never falls into his charm..at least that's what she says. But eventually an unexpected twist of fate forces them into a risky partnership..one that involves fake courtship, whispered secrets, and far too many stolen glances. Florence and Anthony soon discover that the line between hating each other and desiring each other is really thin. As the London season comes toward an end, one question remains: will Anthony justify his vow of duty, or will he break it for the only woman bold enough to defy him?Complete
