Belle Whitmore, daughter of the dowager Viscountess Whitmore, is about to turn 18 and thus will finally be able to enter the matchmaking market of London society. Not that this is something she's actually looking forward to. Graceful, funny, competitive, and with an unusual intelligence, Belle has always stolen hearts. But what if one of those stolen hearts belongs to one of her childhood friends, son of her godparents and heir to the Bridgerton family fortune: Anthony Bridgerton? What if Belle isn't the only thief in the story? But with fate conspiring against these two lovers, will they finally live their happily ever after?
"Sometimes friendship can be an excuse; a cover when there's something more you don't want to admit, or you're too scared to explore."

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 -- 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧
**Dearest Readers,** My quills have been sharpened in eager anticipation of the 1815 season, and I daresay it shall prove as thrilling as any before it. New faces grace our glittering ballrooms - most notably the daughters of the Earl of Somerset, presented to society for the very first time. Yours truly, **Lady Whistledown's Society Papers** ~ The Earl's daughters are opposites in every regard. Lady Marie, the younger, is softness and sweetness itself, earning the coveted title of Diamond of the Season. Her beauty and gentle charm quickly capture the admiration of Mr. Benedict Bridgerton, who appears every inch the attentive suitor. Yet it is her elder sister, Lady Esther - sharp-witted, bold, and far less inclined toward obedience - who truly unsettles him. With their father quietly pressing for a match to secure his own hidden interests, what begins as a season of promise soon becomes a matter of urgency. And when fate intervenes, it is not the sister meant to be chosen who must secure a husband before the final dance. For in matters of the heart, dear reader, desire rarely follows expectation.Complete
Out of the Ordinary
She was never meant to be noticed. For three seasons, Cecily Featherington has played her part-smiling when required, curtsying when expected, and pretending she doesn't hear the whispers that call her forgettable. But when she vows this season will be her last, fate takes an unexpected turn. He was never meant to fall. Viscount Anthony Bridgerton is the model of propriety-until she walks into the room. With paint on her hands and wit sharper than any gentleman's, Cecily defies every rule he's built his life upon. She is the one woman who unsettles him, challenges him, and makes him question everything he thought he wanted. What begins as rivalry and restraint turns into stolen glances, near confessions, and nights spent wondering if love can survive the weight of reputation. Because in a world where every feeling is a scandal, and every choice has a consequence, Cecily and Anthony's connection is anything but proper. It's fierce. It's forbidden. And it's utterly, irrevocably, out of the ordinary. -- Pre Bridgerton Series - Anthony Bridgerton x Cecily Featherington Standalone Cecily is my creation, and I own all rights to her. The Bridgerton books are owned by Julia Quinn, and the tv series is owned by Shondaland and Netflix.Complete

Peaches is a Featherington, and like her brash and horribly dressed sisters, she is to be thrown to the lions of the ton for this season's marriage market. She does not wish to find love or romance or to marry. So she is shocked when she finds she cannot resist no other than the second born Bridgerton. Benedict x OC Completed! 50,000 words Best ratings: #1 in Bridgerton, #1 in BenedictBridgerton Hope you enjoy 💗 Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books! It's my first fic and I've made some mistakes but please stick with me! <3Complete
