Charlotte Hampstead, a Baron's daughter, has absolutely no luck: especially in the husband hunting department. She can't play the harp, can't dance and certainly can't sing. Her only saving grace is the positively enormous dowry, but she refuses to marry any old fortune hunter whilst she's half in love with her childhood friend.
Tommy Greene, Earl of Essex, is in a little bit of a pickle. He inherited a title, and all the debts with it. He's been in London for five whole years, but not one of the skittish schoolroom chits can he see as wife, and he needs an heiress desperately.
Unless- there's been rumours of a priceless Shakespeare manuscript and the Essex family hidden around the Essex Estate: if he can find it, well there'd be more than enough money to pay off his Father's gambling debts and live in comfort. It's just the matter of finding it, and he not falling in love with his friend's little sister whilst doing so.

BINI-ridgerton 2
**From the Column of Lady BINIridgerton** It appears that the Season has taken an unexpected turn, my dear readers, for after the grand marriage of the Duke, Mikhael Lim, to the ever-so-timid yet elegant Aiah Arceta, we now find ourselves amidst rumors that will surely shake the ton. The Duke and Duchess have settled into their domestic bliss, welcoming a handsome son into their world-he is but three months of age, and yet the Lims remain under the keen eyes of society. But, as with everything else, life must carry on, and I must direct your attention to people who have remained in the background for far too long. First there's *Cole Lim*, the Duke's gruff and stoic brother who despises anything loud or colorful. However, speculations circulate that his annoyance with the vibrant *Maloi Ricalde* is merely a disguise for something deeper. Could it be that underneath that frown there is affection? How beautifully ironic. Then there's *Gian Lim*, the silent and disinterested sibling who is as mysterious as he is nice. Rumor has it that the bashful Gian has long nursed a secret admiration for the Duchess's cousin, *Sheena Catacutan*. But will this shy man ever gather the confidence to express his emotions? Lastly, we come to *JR Lim*, the most jovial and exuberant of the Lim brothers. It seems that no one can escape his playful teasing, especially *Stacey Sevilleja*, the feisty cousin of the Duchess who is as obsessed with the color pink as she is with ribbons and lace. But dear readers, could there be more to his teasing than meets the eye? Perhaps JR's jests hide something much more tender. Oh, the scandals, the romance, the intrigue! The Season is ripe with possibilities. Keep your eyes sharp, for I, *Lady BINIridgerton*, shall reveal all the latest gossip.Terminé

Toast of the Season
🏆 2025 Amby Favorite 🏆 Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.
