𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒 | 𝘈 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦
In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules are of the utmost importance. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince-while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable... but not too amiable. Nadine Amory, the daughter of a viscount and the ward of an illustrious family, enters the season with every advantage: beauty, charm, and the endorsement of Queen Charlotte herself. Yet despite her impeccable reputation, the tide swiftly turns against her. The gossip columns of the mysterious Lady Whistledown cast doubt upon her desirability. And more pressingly, her overbearing eldest cousin, the Viscount Bridgerton, has made it his personal mission to see off any man he deems unworthy-a category that, to Anthony's exacting standards, appears to include every potential match. Julian Perrin, the brooding and enigmatic Duke of Albans, has recently returned to London. He has no intention of marrying, haunted by a painful past and determined to defy the expectations forced upon him. But when he crosses paths with Nadine, an opportunity arises: a fake courtship. If they pretend to be in love, Julian can avoid ambitious mothers eager to secure a titled son-in-law, while Nadine's desirability skyrockets in the eyes of potential suitors. Their deception is flawless-at first. But beneath the ever-watchful eyes of London's elite and the sharp quill of Lady Whistledown, pretense begins to blur with reality. And in a world where marriage is a transaction and love a frivolity, neither Julian nor Nadine anticipates the greatest scandal of all: a passion that refuses to be feigned.

🏆 2025 Amby Favorite 🏆 Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.
