In the glittering world of Regency-era London, where titles and appearances mean everything, the Cavendish family guards a secret that could unravel their entire legacy. Octavius Cavendish, the firstborn and only child of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, carries the weight of the family name with a burden unlike any other: a female, but proclaimed male to secure the dukedom.

Navigating the treacherous waters of high society, Octavius must balance the expectations of being the heir with the truth of her identity. With the guidance of the formidable Lady Danbury and the friendship of the charming Francesca Bridgerton, Octavius prepares for a season filled with grand balls, sharp tongues, and hidden dangers.

Will Octavius manage to uphold the Cavendish legacy while staying true to herself, or will the secrets she harbors be her undoing?

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...

Elsewise, the ton shall find itself once more devoid of its Diamond, and this Lady Whistledown shall not let such a spectacle pass unnoticed. If you do not support LGBTQIA+ rights and intend to grace my comments with vitriol and hatred, be assured you shall be promptly blocked.

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.

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.
