Summary
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.
But when the universe (Agatha) decides to push them back into the same orbit, Kate and Anthony are forced to face the chemistry they’ve spent years avoiding.
It’s a story of two people who the universe pushed together, until they decided to pull.Bookmarked by Gardenlady

Summary
Kate and Anthony married too young, had kids way too young and got divorced. But after everything that passed between them, that spark just won't die.
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

Summary
Kate looked at the burnt nankhatai, the evidence of her afternoon’s failure. Her mother would have known what to do. Mary Sharma, who’d married an Indian man and learned to make his family’s recipes despite knowing nothing about that kind of cooking, who’d built a life in a country that wasn’t hers and made it work through sheer force of will and love, would’ve known what to do.
But Mary Sharma was dead, and Kate was standing in a kitchen that cost more than her mother’s entire house, fighting with her husband about whether she was grateful enough for the life he’d given her.

Summary
And for the first time since he started his Italy holiday, Anthony stops questioning his behaviour and just lets himself be. He follows Kate into the kitchen, where she hands him a glass of water and stays standing next to him, follows her to her room where she opens the door and beckons him inside with a look. When he cups her face in his hands and she nods and he leans in to kiss her, life finally makes sense again. This he knows how to do. This he can understand.

Summary
It starts in Italy.
It’s early September and the holiday had initially been proposed to be a sort of retreat, painting together, going to the museums of Florence to learn and gather inspiration. They do paint occasionally, but mainly they lounge around the villa’s little pool, drinking red wine and spritz, planning their days around where they should go for dinner.
It’s wonderful, and Kate can feel the tension of the last months, the job search, the decisions she had to make, easing off her. So when Benedict tells the group that his brother is going to drop by for a bit, she barely takes notice of it.
(Kate and Anthony have a holiday fling before she moves to Berlin. It's not the last she sees of him.)

This would pass. Isn’t that what she’d said all those years ago? These feelings between them would pass. For her maybe they had. Maybe she was living her life with a husband who doted on her the way she deserved and children with dark ringlets and mischievous smiles. Anthony didn’t know.
All he knew was that he woke every morning, alone at Aubrey Hall and thought of her.OR
Five years ago Anthony Bridgerton let the love of his life sail away home and he’s regretted it ever since and now she’s back
