"No romance. No love. We shall live as two people taking on their duties, not as a husband and wife.. I sincerely hope you understand that this is an arranged marriage, it is practically a business deal."
"I assure you, my Lord, I am well aware of the circumstances, having already agreed to them as such."
Lady Lily Anne Jones never dreamt of becoming a Viscountess. To be fair, she rarely dreamt of anything. She knew from a very young age, as the only child of Earl Jones, her duty was to find a respectable gentleman to marry. At the age of three and twenty, she found out, her father had already arranged that for her, and for no less than a Viscount Bridgerton, most desirable bachelor.

[2] The Queen Mother of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton
All Is Fair In Love And War. Lord Anthony Bridgerton, the formidable head of the Bridgerton family, sets forth on a quest to secure a worthy spouse, driven solely by his unyielding duty to preserve the family's esteemed name. His pursuit of a debutante who can meet his exacting standards appears destined for failure until the arrival of the Sharma sisters from the exotic lands of India. Yet, as the Viscount endeavors to court Edwina, his heart and mind are ensnared by an unexpected distraction-the Queen Dowager of Württemberg, now globally recognized as the Queen Mother, Charlotte. Unbeknownst to Anthony, Charlotte harbors a conflicted heart; while she yearns for him to marry, she can't escape the fervent desire that it were her he chose. A lifetime of unspoken love lingers, and she regrets the moment she turned him away when he bared his feelings. As Anthony's courtship of Edwina unfolds, Kate uncovers the stark reality of his intentions-a genuine love match isn't high on his list of priorities-certainly not when she discovers of the Viscount and Queen Mother's past. Determined to shield her sister, Kate resolves to thwart the impending union. Amidst everyone's efforts, every encounter between Charlotte and Anthony draws them irresistibly closer, entwining their destinies in a complex web of emotions. This fanfic follows Season 2 of the Bridgerton Netflix series, based on the novel "The Viscount Who Love Me" by Julia Quinn. Book 1: The Queen Dowager of Württemberg - Book 2: The Queen Mother of Württemberg 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 Charlotte, etc, and its ideas belong to me.

After spending years as one of the most notorious rakes of the ton, Anthony Bridgerton has decided it's time to settle down and carry on the family line.

Anthony's father died quite young, so Anthony believes, albeit irrationally, that he will die young too. Falling in love is a complication he doesn't need in his already too short life, so he sets out to court the beauty who is the latest toast of the ton. She is a woman who meets his requirements for a wife, but with whom he could never see himself falling in love. Anthony just didn't count on the infuriating lady stirring his desires in a way no other woman ever has. Amelia Windsor has no intention of allowing Anthony Bridgerton anywhere near herself.

Her encounters with Anthony leave her hot and bothered and feeling confused. But outside forces draw the two apart. Princess Amelia is engaged to King of Spain, while Anthony is forcefully engaged to Miss Edwina Sharma. Neither are a love match. Can the two break free of their chains and reunite?

Duty & Desire - Eloise and Theo Reimagined
Eloise has always been different-too opinionated, too restless, too unwilling to accept the life society has laid out for her. She has watched her siblings marry for love and duty, yet she has never been able to picture herself in the same fate. Until now. It starts with a letter. And then another. And another. A reckless, undeniable exchange between her and Theo, a man she should never have met, never have sought out, never have fallen for. A man whose hands are stained with ink, whose wit is sharper than any blade, and whose presence lights something inside her she cannot name. But when Eloise is sent to Sir Phillip's estate-a man far more suitable, far more accepted by society-she is forced to question everything. Sir Phillip is kind, gentle, and wholly devoted to the idea of winning her heart. The only problem? It is not his to win. As Eloise battles between what is right and what is real, she must make a choice: a life of comfort with a man who could offer her everything-or the fire of a love that could ruin them both. Because Theo was never meant to be an option. And yet, he is the only choice she wants to make. 🔥 A story of stolen letters, forbidden love, and the kind of desire that refuses to be denied.Complete
