Husband Wanted (HC #1)
Elizbeth Humphrey wants a husband. Her expectations are not outlandish; all she asks is that he be reasonably handsome, reasonably wealthy and completely kind. Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps.

But when Miles returns to England after having spent nearly two years abroad, their rekindled relationship seems to quickly evolve beyond friendship into something much more perilous... How can a budding romance survive in a hostile world that is set upon obliterating all men like Geoffrey? And is it really worth risking one's dearest friendship for a thin hope of a chance for something even greater?Complete
Whispers of Gunpowder and Lace - Captain John Price
Dearest Gentle Reader, It would seem that the Queen's latest diamond is no ordinary debutante. A beauty with wit enough to match, she has already caught the eye of London's most eligible bachelors - dukes, lords, and even princes. Yet society gasps not at her suitors of title, but at one man bold enough to steal a dance beneath the Queen's gaze and, scandalously, to send orchids to her very door. A soldier. Captain John Price, recently returned to London, strides into the ton with no pedigree and no patience for its games. And yet, he may prove the only man bold enough to win the diamond's heart. Will this Season end in triumph, or ruin? That, dear reader, is a tale I shall delight in telling.

Sincerely Yours
In 1800s England, a well-meaning but selfish young woman will do anything to avoid matrimony to the county's finest suitors and to justly prove she doesn't need a husband to find her way in society. Even under the peril of her uncle losing his property and business to debt. In all but two months, she must prove to her family she's more than capable without a husband and can, in fact, exceed society's expectations of the female sex. But what woman can write what she hardly knows of the world, and its secrets? And most of all, how far is she willing to prove herself toward society and the Lord? At what cost for love? Maxmillian Knightley has returned from university in London, now facing the looming title of marquis. With that title comes responsibility to interact with those he despises most, and with which he must fight for his inheritance. But how far will he go in order to grow favor in the scrutiny of society and his stiff-neck father? He may be everything a woman of the ton looks for in a husband - titled, wealthy, and cheek bones that can draw in any woman - but he is in no mood to humor eligible women by participating in all things reformed. The question is: how far will he go to do everything against his own sensibility and judgment? For inheritance ... or for loyalty and love? The only common enlightenment between two entirely different sexes? A fondness for penmanship and our humorous Lord who writes the very novelty of life itself. And what happens if proving oneself leads to something quite worse? When it comes to love, making the right choices, these two are their own worst enemies.

𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝑅𝒜𝒦𝐸 - 𝒜𝒩𝒯𝐻𝒪𝒩𝒴 𝐵𝑅𝐼𝒟𝒢𝐸𝑅𝒯𝒪𝒩
As the eldest, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has long accepted his duty to marry-yet has vowed to avoid the trap of love. Cynical about romance and burdened by expectations, he is certain he can fulfill his role without ever losing his heart. Enter Miss Clara Everly: intelligent, fiercely independent, and utterly unimpressed by his title or reputation. A woman who defies the conventions of the ton, Clara would rather lose herself in books than in a gentleman's empty promises. When the two meet, she sees past his charm, challenging him in ways no other woman has dared. Their minds spark like kindling, igniting a connection that's as exhilarating as it is unexpected. But as they match wits, Anthony finds himself drawn to more than her beauty-he is captivated by her intellect, her laughter, her guarded warmth. With his heart on the line, he faces a new challenge: to convince the woman who trusts in little that she can trust in him. *I do not own any rights to the Bridgerton franchise or characters*Complete
