    Summary

    After Eloise's discovery of Penelope's secret identity as the scandalous Lady Whistledown, Penelope desperately searches the Ball in hopes of explaining herself to Eloise only to stumble upon another Bridgerton in the midst of destroying their friendship. Colin's hurtful dismissal of Penelope to a group of possible matches knocks him off the pedestal of perfection she'd once placed him on.

    With her feelings for Colin crushed, Portia distracted with Prudence and her crumbling relationship with the Bridgerton family, Penelope has finally decided to step out from the backgrounds of society and take charge of her life once and for all, blooming only as a wallflower can.

    Will Penelope find herself a match? And how will Colin feel losing a most treasured friendship? Perhaps Violet was right, you must marry the person that feels like your dearest friend.

    Summary

    The night Colin returns to London, he’s expecting a hot meal, a long bath and a soft bed. Instead, he chases Penelope through Bloomsbury, gets arrested by the Queen’s Guard and is accused of being Lady Whistledown’s co-conspirator. Luckily, the solution Colin comes up with to save both their necks is simple: convince the Queen that he and Penelope were merely meeting to elope.

    But when the Queen calls their bluff, they have to pretend to be in love whilst somehow getting out of this marriage he’s just accidentally trapped them in. Which wouldn’t be a problem except that for some unknown reason Penelope despises him, and, to be frank, Colin isn’t too happy with her either.

     

    A Regency rom com inspired by The Proposal.

    Summary

    “Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.

    Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.

    Penelope was ruined.

    Summary

    “I too enjoy the opera. My sister Kate is the one who introduced me to it.”

    A love story in three parts, from Kate’s point of view.
    In which Kate’s inner life and her relationship with Anthony is explored as they attend performances of three very different operas.

    LOTS OF INTENSE GLANCES within. Basically filling the gaps from the show and imagining a few extra (delicious) encounters.

    1: Don Giovanni (After the races and before the Sharmas' visit to Aubrey Hall, Kate enjoys a night of Mozart, and tries not to be distracted by the most vexing man of her acquaintance.)

    2: The Marriage of Figaro (Set a week before the wedding, in which the Bridgertons, Lady Danbury and the Sharmas see The Marriage of Figaro and Kate has acquired a new friend (move over Mr Dorset) and Lord Bridgerton does not fail to take notice.)

    3: Orpheus and Eurydice (Set after Kate and Anthony’s honeymoon, upon Kate’s first appearance at the opera as Viscountess. A last-minute change of star soprano to one Mistress Siena Rosso makes the night’s entertainments all the more interesting)

    Also bonus, The Magic Flute.

    Summary

    “My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence.”

    Kate slaps him away, glaring at him darkly, “You speak of honor, my lord?” She watches him with disdain, “Tell me, who have you done right by in this entire wretched situation?”

    He seethes, struggling to respond before growling, “You are the bane of my existence.”

    “And you are utterly out of touch with reality.”

    She was used to missing him. She should be an expert at it by now. They should be good at this. The waiting, hoping, longing... So how could it be that she missed him, as soon as the carriage doors closed behind her and the Featherington gardens disappeared into the night? How could she possibly miss him already, while she could still feel the press of his lips against hers?

    Summary

    Kate cannot help but feel that familiar tug, the ebb and flow of magnetism that first sparked between Anthony and her when they first met, as she walks the halls of Lady Danbury’s estate and promenades through the park with Daphne and Edwina. She remembers the inexplicable urge to be near Anthony, to prod at him until his veneer of charm broke, to lose herself in his eyes as if no one else was in the room. To be back a year later — and to not have to hide her feelings or resist any temptation — is an odd thing.

    or, Kate's second social season in London.
