| Until I Found You |

"Dearest gentle readers,

After last seasons rather scandalous interactions, many have been condemned shaken. But all is well in love and war, for the Bridgerton family has surely recovered and is preparing for their next jewel to stand out in the treasures of the ton.

From Viscount Bridgertons' fruitful journey in marriage market last season, to the Duchess of Hastings growing family, it is well known the Bridgerton's have their luck with love matches before.

Therefore, the ton is anticipating who might be the most desired suitor of the season. As your humble servant, however, I am here to tell you that there is news of Mr. Benedict Bridgerton's full intended involvement in the upcoming season.

It is well known that the second born Bridgerton child is quite the free spirit. His rather bold persona consists of many artistic endeavors and rebellious streaks, yet, there is one trait of his that no doubt will shine brightly this season; his charm.

Awaiting all young debutants to fawn over Mr. Bridgerton, one can't help but wonder if it was the rake who chose this on his own behalf, or if his mama' simply pushed him toward the fate. Regardless, will the tortured artist continue his family chain of luck and love, or will he shatter it?

Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown."
