Expectation | Bridgerton

Miss Victoria Ashbourne has always known one truth: her future is not entirely her own. As the sole heir to the Ashbourne name, her marriage must secure her family's legacy through a match of title, lineage, and reputation. With the London season beginning, her mother is determined that Victoria will do exactly that.

Lord Henry Carroway appears to be the perfect choice-respectable, attentive, and well connected. Yet as Victoria moves through the expectations of society, she becomes increasingly aware of someone far more complicated.

Benedict Bridgerton.

Once her easy childhood companion, Benedict now stands across the ballroom as simply Mr Bridgerton-respectable, but not the match her family expects. As the season unfolds and pressure grows, Victoria must choose between the future planned for her or the life she truly wants. In a world where every glance is watched, one choice could change everything.

I do not own any of the characters, plot, or dialogue from Shondaland's Bridgerton series or Julie Quinn's Bridgerton series other than those which I have created and added in myself. All credit goes to Julie Quinn and Shondaland and others associated with the creation of the Bridgerton books and tv series.
