"My lord!" Prisha gasped, the startled cry escaping her lips as he pulled her towards him. His strong arms wrapped around her, drawing her close in a tight embrace. Confusion warred with a nascent understanding within her. The object of his terror was now abundantly clear - irrational as it seemed, the Viscount was demonstrably afraid.
Instinct took over, leading Prisha to gently pat his back in a soothing rhythm. Mimicking his hold, she offered a comforting embrace of her own. Though propriety dictated they maintain a more appropriate distance, in that moment, such concerns seemed trivial. Her sole focus was on calming the storm brewing within him, to offer a haven of solace in the face of his inexplicable fear.
Held within the circle of his arms, a sense of forbidden perfection washed over her. Despite the knowledge that propriety demanded an end to this embrace, she found herself clinging to him, reluctant to let go.
"Anthony!"

The Secret Governess
That's quite a sigh. A man's voice, deep and observant, breaks through the silence. Immediately, I straighten up, as if being pulled by an invisible string. My eyes dart to the source of the voice, and there he stands. Tall and composed with a posture so impeccable that it makes me wonder if he has a military background. A pair of clear blue eyes gaze at me expectantly from behind a mask that molds perfectly to his face. His features are strong and angular, his jawline sharp. His attire is immaculate, every detail of his ensemble meticulously pressed and tailored to perfection. As he steps closer, the tiny golden coat of arms pinned to his chest catches the light, momentarily blinding me. Standing in front of me is the Duke. I lower my gaze. The less he sees of me, the better. All he needs to remember is the lady in the blue dress and my job here will be complete. -- In a world of glittering ballrooms and masked deception, a humble governess steps into the shoes of a rebellious noblewoman, risking everything to save her family.

A lush story of love, identity, and second chances, this story promises a happily ever after where true hearts triumph over society's expectations. ** Inspired by the glittering world of Bridgerton.Complete
The Viscount's Vow
Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has made a vow to marry this season, to choose a bride with sense over sentiment, and to avoid scandal at all costs. What he did not vow was to endure the sharp tongue and sharper wit of Miss Florence Evergreen, the daughter of a botanist who's more interested in her greenhouse than the marriage mart. However Florence has no interest in the games of the wealth, let alone the arrogant viscount Anthony who seems determined to affront her at every turn. He's prideful, predictable and so maddeningly proper. She's stubborn, unpredictable, and she never falls into his charm..at least that's what she says. But eventually an unexpected twist of fate forces them into a risky partnership..one that involves fake courtship, whispered secrets, and far too many stolen glances. Florence and Anthony soon discover that the line between hating each other and desiring each other is really thin. As the London season comes toward an end, one question remains: will Anthony justify his vow of duty, or will he break it for the only woman bold enough to defy him?Complete
Aureliane
#1, TO TEMPT A FROZEN Viscount. "You don't know what the world can take from a person." The softness in his tone made me still. I should have left it there, should have let the silence swallow the moment whole. Instead, I stepped forward, until I stood directly before him. I had to crane my neck to meet his eyes, but I held his gaze stubbornly. "Then take me with you," I whispered, the words reckless and trembling on my tongue. "Let it try." *** It's the year 1888, and amidst the halls of England's nobility, a milkmaid finds herself swept into a world she was never meant to enter. Bound by duty to her family and the humblest of trades, she crosses paths with a brooding Viscount whose gaze lingers too long and whose past hides more than titles. With time, she must decide whether to keep her place in the Hollow or risk everything for the taste of power, passion, dreams and ruin. In a time when reputations meant survival, how much is she willing to surrender for desire?

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
