Anthony Bridgerton grew up with the world’s greatest role models for true love, yet he’s still searching for a way to create a genuine home-work balance.
Kate Sharma is the powerhouse behind a successful business she’s built from the ground up—a woman who hasn't taken a vacation in a decade and has little time, energy, or room for anything else.

AKA
Mum and dad are getting back together
------
'They want me to take them next weekend.'
'Of course they do.'
'With you.' Kate slipped it in as she sat on the couch cushion kitty corner to Anthony's. He only compressed his lips and huffed out a little air, eyes sad.
'You think we're ready for that?' He asked quietly, fingers opening and closing the arms of the glasses in his lap.
'No.'
He let out a short, mirthless laugh.Bookmarked by Gardenlady

Summary
Coffee shop owner Kate Sharma has spent five years locked in an annual battle of contract negotiations with her infuriatingly handsome landlord, Anthony Bridgerton, CEO of Bridgerton Properties. Now, with a crippling 7% rent increase looming, the future of Sharma House is in jeopardy.
Meanwhile Anthony is under pressure from his company’s board (and his mother) to settle down and prove he’s a stable, family-focused leader.
Anthony proposes a deal: a fake, contractual relationship to get his board and mother off his back. In return, he will drop Kate's rent increase to a manageable 3% and lock in the rate for three years.
But as they begin their contractual obligations, navigate scrutinizing family members and high-stakes investor receptions, and start spending more time with each other, their carefully constructed boundaries quickly break down, and Kate and Anthony must decide if the professional reward is worth the risk of falling for the person they've spent years fighting.

Summary
Kate’s decision to confront Lord Bridgerton after the disastrous dinner with the Sheffields had damned them both. The two of them were caught, alone, with his hand in her hair. He pleaded her chasteness but it was no matter. He had come to Lady Danbury’s engaged to one sister, and he left engaged to the other.
Their marriage is lonely. Kate wonders if this was the marriage he would have given to her sister. If it is, she could not help but think Edwina should thank her for taking the fall. But perhaps it is not the same. Perhaps Anthony would have been able to look Edwina in the eye. Perhaps he might have been able to touch her.
There was no use wondering. She had finally gained her family’s security. As for herself, well, it was as she had always known. It never mattered, what she wanted.Bookmarked by Gardenlady
