"No respect for the dead." His words came out in silent whispers, his teeth clenched. A small smile tugged on her lips. "Respect is earned in life, my lord. When a man fails to earn respect in life, it cannot suddenly be bestowed on him simply because he returned to the dust whence he came." "At the very least, Lady Atkins, pretend," he admonished. "Pretend to mourn for your husband! You are a woman in mourning! Grief, sadness, decency is expected of you," he growled, stepping so close to her, his nose almost kissed hers. "Not a low-cut, salacious red dress!" She inched forward, jaw set, until she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "And you are a man whose cousin's widow was only a few minutes ago caught with a man on top of her," she shot back, leaning further in until her lips were nearly brushing his as she searched his gaze. "Anger, rage, fury, is expected of you, my lord... Not jealousy!" * Newly widowed, the sudden death of Beatrice's husband has brought about her freedom from the shackles of a loveless marriage... Or so she thinks. All hope is quickly lost when she discovers her husband's cruelty in disinheriting her and leaving her penniless. But worse than his decision to disinherit her, is his decision to leave her at the mercy of his cousin; Noah, the very handsome Marquess of Camden. TW: This story contains mentions of suicide.

A war took his leg and the life he expected. One invitation gave him reason to live again. Captain Emmett Shaw, now Lord Shaw, returned from the War of 1812 without his leg and the future he once envisioned. Five years of bitterness and slow acceptance have left him quiet, observant, and far more comfortable with paintbrushes and canvases than with crowded drawing rooms. When his aunt suggests a restorative stay at Eastbury Manor, Emmett agrees, never suspecting the invitation will alter the course of his life. She planned her Season to perfection. Fate had other ideas. Lady Evelyn Wyndham has planned her debut London Season since she wore her hair in braids. She carries a diary of gowns, ball invitations, and eligible suitors with determined enthusiasm. But when her father falls ill, and her presence at home proves more hindrance than help, she is sent to her uncle's estate, only to discover her most insufferable cousin by marriage is already in residence. Resolved to leave the very next day, Evelyn instead finds herself agreeing to a most improper arrangement. A fake engagement. What begins as a convenient deception-designed to draw out a mysterious source-quickly becomes far more complicated. Forced into close quarters, Emmett and Evelyn must confront old grievances, unspoken wounds, and a growing attraction neither anticipated. Because pretending to be betrothed is far easier than risking one's heart.

John Hampton had not always been a serf. Prior to working for the lively Bridgerton family in Mayfair, he had grown up in a small hamlet in Somerset, where he had spent his days with the local physician's daughter, Harriet. Fifteen years later and the girl with the cold stare was but a mere echo in the back of his mind as he waited on the Bridgertons, his life dedicated to theirs. He had half given up on the idea of any sort of future, knowing little would change due to his position. Until one day he was gracefully hurrying through crowds, attempting to halt the Viscountess' pursuit for her second son, and bumped into a face unchanged by time. And John discovered that, maybe, his heart was unchanged, also. Footman John x OC Started: 08/02/2026 Finished: Rankings: #4 in sophiebaek #3 in footmanjohn #2 in violetbridgerton
