Marriage was the last thing on her mind when her brother, the Viscount had yet to mature enough to handle the responsibilities of being a head.

However, this may change with the arrival of the Dashing Prince of the North, Nicholas Alexander, who returned to London's high society many years later. 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?

Burn - Edmund Bridgerton II's story by miss_islemeadow

Miss Amelia Fife is young, beautiful - and utterly penniless. Since her father's tragic passing her uncle has paid for one season in London, and one season only, during which she has to find herself a husband and save herself, along with her infamous opera songstress mother, from utter ruin. Amelia enters her first ball with one simple instruction: stay away from the Bridgertons - and especially Viscount Bridgerton's sons. When none other than said viscount's oldest son and heir, Edmund II or rather Eddie, steps in her way, things no longer seem to be in Amelia's control. As determinedly as she tries to steer her course towards a more suitable husband, she somehow always ends up in the dangerously handsome young viscount's vicinity. It would be easy enough to withstand the pull she feels towards Eddie had he only been a smirking rake, but how is she supposed to resist giving in to their overwhelming connection when he finally shows her his true colours?

"Honestly, it's already a disaster that he is oblivious. But Penelope, you pretending to pine over someone else when we all know it's Colin you're in love with? That's chaos!" Eloise rants. "He asked for a name, El! Should I have replied his?" Penelope says, planting her head on her palms. "We are friends, you know that." She doesn't speak her mind as she thinks, 'I don't count. I'm his friend, so I don't count.' -- They could cross that line. Maybe. Perhaps. Penelope isn't entirely sure. No, she knows they can't. So, she just reads her books, imagining hundreds of love stories that aren't hers. They hurt less.

Regency Romance: The Earl's Obsession (Historical Romance) (COMPLETED) by charlottestonebooks

(COMPLETED) It's 1817 and there is nothing more a woman wants than to marry a rich man and live a life of comfort. But not Nancy Brooks. Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor. Things take a turn when she delivers clothes to one of the schools she always dreamed of attending and ends up saving the day. Lord Andrew Montgomery rules almost every place he sets foot in-one of the perks of being the son of the most powerful duke of the time-and this includes Oxford. Violent and aggressive, he vows to make the life of every student who dares defy him miserable. However, when he targets the new (and first) girl at Oxford, his obsession becomes a little more than just making her life miserable. It began, he would later speculate, with a shout: the simple sound of someone shouting at him-for the first time in his life. It began, she would later speculate, with a catch: the simple movement of strong arms, breaking her fall, catching her midway. But after that, there would come many more events, and ones not too keen on bringing them together. What will they do when a powerful duchess steps in, when it seems every person is working to keep them apart? This is a story of betrayal and love, because they are not so different after all...

Coal Among Diamonds │Benedict Bridgerton by holmes22113

Witty, daring and with a secret knack for painting Frances Granville arrives at London with two convictions: one, that she is not interested in men, especially not in lords who parade impeccably around courting innocent young ladies at balls only to close their nights in brothels. Two, that if she does not secure a husband, her father will make a match with someone at least twice her age and half her wits. Franny navigates the courting season, her loving and quaint family and her attraction to a certain Bridgerton brother with a charming smile while she finds her own definition of what it means to be a woman in the Regency era.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐄 difference between a sin and a clandestine longing? A yearning that pulses silently beneath the surface, sheltered away from a place where love is tightly defined and drawn by ancient hands. Can a heart so full and so pure truly be blamed as sinful? Or is the true sin in the unspoken truth that binds them to stare across ballrooms? Siena DeLuca would have never imagined that one's heart could stray so far from the paths taught to follow. Her rebellion and often misunderstood ideals had never ventured so far as to imagine herself dipping her toes into forbidden places. But Eloise Bridgerton surely is a spark in the darkness- a wildfire that refuses to be tamed. She is the ocean's tide that pulls her to uncharted shores, leaves her wondering if she even cares about being a castaway from a society that has terribly failed at comprehending them. So, if it is a sin, must they sincerely care if they are sinners? BOOK 1 OF THE: 『 BETWEEN THE FOLDS OF MY LETTERS 』SERIES!

[1] The Queen Dowager of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton by f1royalty

The tale of Her Majesty The Queen Dowager of Württemberg unfolds not as a fairy-tale love story with a happily ever after but as a narrative of growth and resilience. Returning to London with her youngest children after her husband's demise, she steps back into the swirl of the 1813 social season. Life demanded many sacrifices from Charlotte, but none weighed as heavily as the sacrifice of her enduring love, especially for one man-a particular Viscount. Thirteen years after burying the echoes of their first love, fate orchestrates a poignant reunion between Charlotte and the Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton. What they believed to be entombed emotions rise to the surface with each encounter, proving that some feelings, no matter how deeply buried, refuse to remain silent. Love crashes onto their souls once again, defying the passage of time and stirring the embers of a connection they thought had long faded away. The 1813 social season will definitely be as unexpected as it will be beautiful and scandalous. Lady Whistledown shall have to purchase more ink... 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.

"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
