LADY ELIZABETH DEVENTON enters her third season with two refused proposals behind her and the scrutiny of the ton firmly upon her. Beautiful, accomplished and sister to a royal duchess, she has every reason to expect an exceptional match. There is only one problem.
For most of her life, Elizabeth has been in love with her closest friend.
COLIN BRIDGERTON has always dreamed of distant horizons. Restless, charming and determined to discover his purpose, he believes marriage may offer the direction he has been searching for. But the woman who captures his attention is not the one who has spent years quietly loving him.
Colin and Elizabeth have shared everything since childhood: summers at Aubrey Hall, secrets whispered beside the Deventon pianoforte and dreams of the lives they might one day lead. To Colin, Elizabeth has always been his dearest friend-the one person he trusts will remain beside him, no matter where his ambitions take him. But Elizabeth can no longer build her future around the hope that he might eventually see her.
The season of 1813 will force Colin and Elizabeth to confront the truth they have avoided for years:
Some promises are easy to make in childhood. Keeping them may require the courage to let each other go.

Talk of the Ton | S. Basset DoH
Grosvenor Square, 1813 The London Social Season has only just begun. With presentations before Her Majesty and new scandals simmering beneath the surface, one must wonder-how will this season unfold? This author, for one, cannot wait to find out. Consider, dear reader, the household of the Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton-who shall not only be shepherding her eldest daughter, Miss Daphne Bridgerton, but also her younger daughter, Miss Elena Bridgerton, through the dizzying whirl of the ton's festivities. Will they find their perfect matches? }~~~~~~~~~~~{ Miss Elena Bridgerton, though perhaps more open to the notion of marriage than her younger twin, Miss Eloise, remains a creature of intellect and curiosity. Her passion for knowledge-and for freedom-burns as brightly as any candle in the Bridgerton library. Follow her as she navigates the intricate waltz between love and liberty, striving to hold onto what little independence society allows her. Simon Basset, the newly minted Duke of Hastings, has but one purpose in London: to settle his late father's affairs before returning to Clyvedon. In no need-and even less desire-of a wife, the Duke has sworn never to marry. But will his resolve remain unshaken once he encounters the spirited and deceptively innocent Miss Bridgerton? Note: This story may include a touch of Daphne-bashing, as her role fades to the periphery while Elena takes center stage. Many familiar scenes will be reimagined and altered to fit this new narrative. Thank you, dear reader, for joining me on this journey. I do hope you enjoy.Complete

[1] The Queen Dowager of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton
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...

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
