At eighteen, Olivia Bridgerton-Sharpe is not a girl of many means. Her mother and father run a printing shop and she, along with her sister and two brothers, has been an apprentice, learning the tools of the trade, even if she does not plan to engage in that sort of employment herself. In fact, in her free time, she has learned everything from three other languages (French, Latin, and Greek) to how to embroider. In short, Olivia is nothing like her mother, Eloise Bridgerton-Sharpe of the infamous and wealthy Bridgerton family.

So, it doesn't come as a surprise when she, of all of her mother's children, requests to participate in the ruthless affair called "The Season." Olivia travels to be with her Aunt Daphne, who is nothing short of exorbitantly excited to sponsor her for the season. The two of them have been close since Olivia first asked for lessons in French after finding a book in the language at age five.

However, it does come as a surprise when she manages to find a man at her first ball of the season. He's gentle, kind, and as handsome as can be. He's also the child of Cressida Twombley who, as everyone knows, hates the entire Bridgerton family (and most of the rest of the ton).

Will she risk it all for love or let it all go because of a deep family rivalry?

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. He knows love exists, because his parents were a shining example of a loving, happy marriage. Still, he has no intentions of falling in love with his intended bride. 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. She vows to do whatever it takes to interfere with the rakish viscount's courtship, but in the process manages to unintentionally get herself into some outlandish situations, which also place her into close proximity with the man himself. 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? Or will they forever be held in place by their mistakes, regrets, and societal expectations? We shall find out, my gentle reader. #2 lovesquare
