Improper Arrangements / Benedict Bridgerton

Anne Marie Bujor, a girl with half french-half wallachian ethnicity, was sent to London in her youth, all in preparation for a future already bargained by her parents.
While residing near the illustrious Bridgerton family, she enjoyed some fleeting years of laughter, friendship and the primordial admiration for a certain second son.
At six and ten, her innocence was exchanged for a title. Four years she lived in a gilded prison, while her family prospered from afar.
On her twentieth year, fortune - or fate - intervened. Her husband died of a long battle with illness and now the young widowed Marchioness returns to London. Not as the little girl the Bridgertons once knew, but as a woman with wealth, secrets, and a dangerous taste for freedom.
When they reunite, mr. Benedict Bridgerton will discover that the girl he used to be smitten with has become a very different woman, impossible to ignore.
