We all know the great lengths a lady will go in pursuit of a proposal. And apparently, she will travel great distances too. Lord Anthony Bridgerton appears to be inching ever so closer to selecting his viscountess and to that end has invited our diamond to join him for an excursion at his ancestral home, Aubrey Hall. Country air indeed clears the mind and invigorates the body. Might this be the final gust that pushes the viscount over the precipice of a proposal? Of course, the luckless souls remaining in town will have to find new diversions in the absence of their most precious of stones.
Not among such souls is that of one Miss Rose Xenakis. Dearest reader, this author finds herself compelled to draw your attention to the newest jewel added to the Bridgerton collection. However, remember that one must not be fooled by imitation gems gilded in false gold and mystery. Under that paper-thin shimmer, it remains a fragile facade. Unlike true diamonds, glass ones are easily broken; even the slightest bit of pressure can crush them to insignificance.

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.

Breathe | s.b | bridgerton
"Hold me close so I can finally... breathe" Marriage wasn't something Carina Bridgerton looked forward to. And true love was not something she dreamed of. She had declared it very clearly to her family that no marriage shall ever be expected from her entering into the season. Only, curse her luck, she had been named the royal jewel, along with her sister Daphne, the diamond. Now being an incomparable made both of them surrounded by suitors at every turn. And when she could finally breathe freely without having to be surrounded by climps from all directions, Anthony had decided to promise her to the biggest pig of them all. What happens when Carina and The Duke of Hastings lead the biggest scam of the season and fool the entire ton, only to find their relationship so much more than a sham. Inspired by 'Breathe' by James Arthur. (Book 1) (oc x simon basset) (bridgerton s1)Complete
Coal Among Diamonds │Benedict Bridgerton
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.

[2] The Queen Mother of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton
All Is Fair In Love And War. Lord Anthony Bridgerton, the formidable head of the Bridgerton family, sets forth on a quest to secure a worthy spouse, driven solely by his unyielding duty to preserve the family's esteemed name. His pursuit of a debutante who can meet his exacting standards appears destined for failure until the arrival of the Sharma sisters from the exotic lands of India. Yet, as the Viscount endeavors to court Edwina, his heart and mind are ensnared by an unexpected distraction-the Queen Dowager of Württemberg, now globally recognized as the Queen Mother, Charlotte. Unbeknownst to Anthony, Charlotte harbors a conflicted heart; while she yearns for him to marry, she can't escape the fervent desire that it were her he chose. A lifetime of unspoken love lingers, and she regrets the moment she turned him away when he bared his feelings. As Anthony's courtship of Edwina unfolds, Kate uncovers the stark reality of his intentions-a genuine love match isn't high on his list of priorities-certainly not when she discovers of the Viscount and Queen Mother's past. Determined to shield her sister, Kate resolves to thwart the impending union. Amidst everyone's efforts, every encounter between Charlotte and Anthony draws them irresistibly closer, entwining their destinies in a complex web of emotions. This fanfic follows Season 2 of the Bridgerton Netflix series, based on the novel "The Viscount Who Love Me" by Julia Quinn.

First Impressions // A Bridgerton Story
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.

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?
