My Divine Gift - Anthony Bridgerton
Theodora Carrington was raised to believe in love, the kind that consumes, endures, and never falters. Growing up alongside the Bridgertons, her heart belonged not to the match her parents imagined, but to Anthony Bridgerton, her oldest friend and steadfast companion. From childhood, they were inseparable. Anthony once dreamed of loving his future wife as deeply as his father loved his mother, and in every dream, it was Theodora at his side. But when Edmund Bridgerton dies, grief reshapes Anthony into a man ruled by duty instead of devotion. Convinced that love only leads to ruin, he pushes Theodora away, leaving behind four years of silence. Now, as Theodora makes her debut into society, they are forced back into each other's world. The question remains: can the love they once shared survive the walls Anthony has built around his heart?Complete
Beneath The Brushstrokes - Benedict Bridgerton
She was the Crown Jewel of the season. He was the man who saw her as more. In the glittering ballrooms and whispered corners of London's high society, a young woman arrives for her debut determined to follow every rule her mother demands-hiding her wit, her curiosity, and her yearning for freedom behind a flawless façade. But when her childhood friend Benedict Bridgerton sees her again after years apart, the careful mask she's worn begins to crack. What begins as stolen glances and playful banter soon deepens into something far more than polite society will allow. In secret studios and moonlit gardens, they find each other not as society's ornaments, but as artists, dreamers, learners, and equals. Yet their love is tested-by family expectations, by an offer that shakes their world, and by the slow-moving grief of watching the first man who ever loved her waste away. Through every waltz, every whispered confession, and every brushstroke on Benedict's canvas, they long for a love as bold and brilliant as the colors she once feared to wear. And when the season ends, she must decide if she will return to the safety of her mask-or step into a life, and a marriage, where she can finally be seen. A tender, romantic tale of stolen moments, the inevitability of love, and the courage to be one's truest self-set against the lush, intoxicating world of Bridgerton.

THE DEVIL'S SISTER || ALFIE SOLOMONS
The only thing more dangerous than a Shelby with a gun is a Shelby in love. Nell Shelby is a name spoken in whispers. She is the "Iron Princess" of the Small Heath, a woman with the calculating mind of Tommy and the defiant heart of Ada. She doesn't scream to be heard, and she doesn't use a gun when a single, well-placed word could do more damage. She is the Shelby's most lethal asset: the negotiator who never blinks. When the power struggle for London reaches a fever pitch, Tommy Shelby makes a calculated move. He sends Nell to Camden Town to oversee the distillery of the one man he can't control. The brilliant, erratic, and utterly mad Alfie Solomons. Tommy's instructions were simple: Watch him. Report back. Don't let him breathe. But behind the locked doors of the distillery, the cold war between the Lion and the Shelby turns into something far more dangerous. In the moments between business deals, Alfie finds the fire beneath Nell's silk dresses, and Nell finds the only man alive who is brilliant enough to keep her interested.Complete
