Peaches is a Featherington, and like her brash and horribly dressed sisters, she is to be thrown to the lions of the ton for this season's marriage market.


She does not wish to find love or romance or to marry. So she is shocked when she finds she cannot resist no other than the second born Bridgerton.

Hope you enjoy 💗


Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books! It's my first fic and I've made some mistakes but please stick with me! <3All Rights Reserved

Discovering the Devil by yahsss

FOR FANS OF BRIDGERTON All Penelope wants to do is become a spinster in peace. The problem is, no one will let her. Eligible bachelors from all over descend on her mother's castle to win her hand, and Penelope is forced to bat her eyes and pretend they've been rejected because they haven't succeeded in getting her to fall in love. In reality, after ten proposals and a tizzy of admirers, Penelope doesn't believe she's capable of it. When her mother catches wind of Penelope's plans to stay unmarried, she forces her into an ultimatum: marry the duke who has just proposed or be cut off. Harry is known by dozens of names, the Devil and Satan being the kindest among them. Falsely accused of slaying his half-brother and disowned by his father, Harry is forced to live as an outcast shrouded in the blackest of rumors. When his housekeeper dies, despite all his attempts to appeal to the peasantry, not a single applicant turns up. Harry is forced to resort to an unlikely, half-baked scheme with a girl he can't stand. She will be his housekeeper in order to scare her mother out of an ultimatum and he will use the presence of a lady to attract a real replacement. It will be a simple, loveless transaction...as long as they're able to resist each other... *Hades and Persephone retelling* *completed* ----- #86 in historicalromance 8/5/23

A Wallflower's Discoveren by enaganda

At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife. Having interviewed most of the ladies of the ton and found none deserving, his interest was piqued whilst at the Danbury Ball when he overhears his mother and sister speak of a lady in high regard; and in their comments found that this woman shares the same qualities he had been looking for in a prospect. What will happen if he finds out that the same lady in question was no other than his sister's best friend and their long time neighbor, Penelope Featherington?

Unexpected romance / Benedict&Anthony by chxckbxss

Delilah has never truly had a good relationship with anyone. Her father had made it no secret that he did not want her and had not paid her any care, her brother had never been around, and unless you counted Lady Danbury, she would not consider she had any friends. So, how shall she cope when she is thrown into the lion's den of the ton, and attracts the attention of none other than the Bridgertons? Shall her immediate interest in Anthony lead to a happy ending, or is there an unexpected romance around the corner? Anthony Bridgerton x OC Benedict Bridgerton x OC

The Immortal Story - Bridgerton by Cupcakecry

Dearest Gentle Reader... A new debutante has made her grand entrance midseason. Not only does she boast the title of lady, but she harbors a secretive lineage, born of a departed lord. Her presence has ensnared the attention of the ton, disrupting matches the Queen herself hath spurned. Perhaps she shall be the one to unseat her from her throne. Elsewise, the ton shall find itself once more devoid of its Diamond, and this Lady Whistledown shall not let such a spectacle pass unnoticed. If you do not support LGBTQIA+ rights and intend to grace my comments with vitriol and hatred, be assured you shall be promptly blocked.

As she heard Colin uttered disparaging words about her towards his friends, Penelope had lost her respect towards the man she had silently loved all these years. As if that is not enough, her dearest friend Eloise had found out her identity as Lady Whistledown and had broken off their friendship not without saying harsh and hurtful words towards her. Now without reason to be fond of high society, Penelope Featherington decided to leave the country and settle down for good in Scotland. Until an accident happens.

With her sister's debut, her brother's ignorance, and her family's stability weighing her down, can the girl find it in her heart to love another?

Magnolia || Colin Bridgerton by eisntme

Magnolia || Colin Bridgerton Every member of the London ton in 1813 knew of the closeness between the Bridgerton and Hayward families. They summered in the country together, had houses next to one another, and even their backyards were connected along a little white fence. No one thought anything of it as the two large families had always been this way. That was until Lady Whistledown commented on the relationship between Magnolia Hayward and Colin Bridgerton. • colin bridgerton x oc • set in season one of the netflix adaptation of bridgerton #1 in Colin 4-23-23 #1 in Colin Bridgerton 6-25-23 book two is published<3 DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE BRIDGERTON BOOK OR TELEVISION SERIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS PLOT LINE AND CHARACTERS I DO OWN THE HAYWARD FAMILY AND THEIR STORYLINE

"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

A Gamble // Benedict Bridgerton by Katiethestag

Being the youngest daughter of the King and Queen of England had challenges, but Evelyn believed that she had faced them with bravery and valour only parallel to the Knights of Camelot. Intrigued by myth and history, Evelyn shies away from the ton, indulging in conversations unladylike and often improper. Wayfair would never speak ill of their Royal Highness. Five years a spinster, the Queen Charlotte pushes her daughter towards society and into this Season of Love. A woman with many secrets, Evelyn assures herself that she will not allow any suitor to marry her, despite what her mother may want, but when she carelessly strikes a deal with the second born Bridgerton, and becomes enraptured by his family, that assurance becomes hesitant. Her Royal Highness Princess Evelyn has never wanted love, not when it is often regretted, but love cares little for her want, and even less for her secrets. Benedict Bridgerton x OC [Season 2 - ]
