    Summary

    Kate reaches for her reticule, withdrawing a small leather-bound notebook. "I have compiled a list of my own"

    “A list of gentlemen?” Lady Danbury's voice climbs an octave

    “Of requirements. For a husband, that is”.

    “And what, pray, are the 'requirements' you seek in this hypothetical husband?”

    Kate looks at the notebook in her hands.

    “Tolerable. Dutiful. Decent manners. Steady enough income to support a small household. No gambling debts or illegitimate children. Not a brute in private. And ideally,” she says, lifting her eyes to meet Lady Danbury’s, “he must have the ability to hold a conversation without being a complete bore”. She finishes. At Lady Danbury’s silence, Kate shifts once more in her seat. Then adds: “That last part is not so much a requirement, but a preference.”

    Summary

    Marry you?” she exclaims, incredulous. “I despise you.”

    “That does not signify,” he replies. “I do not desire a love-match.”

    Miss Sharma snorts. “That does not make this a sensible idea, my lord.”

    Summary

    Kate inherited the wealth her father amassed as a merchant. Anthony inherited his father's debts. Edwina is enjoying her honeymoon period as Mrs. Bagwell, and how else better to spread that joy than to sponsor one of their dowerless neighbors — Miss Daphne Bridgerton — for the season?

    Summary

    Anthony's nightmares were phantoms of his own creation; through his folly they were born and in his guilt and selfish desire they festered.

    Summary

    With the beautiful life Anthony had with his even more beautiful wife, it was hard to hold onto his regrets, or really, any negative feelings at all.

    Still, sometimes, when there were whispered words behind their back by the vultures in society, when his wife was unfairly maligned, or even when there were simply a few too many mocking jests by his own family in reference to his past mistakes, Anthony felt the familiar stirrings of regret again.

    If only he could go back and give his Kate the season she had deserved, one where he’d shown her from the beginning that she was all he had wanted and needed in a wife.

    (Perhaps he should have known. After all, didn’t they say, be careful what you wish for?)

    -
    Or,

    S3!Anthony goes back in time somehow and ends up in S2!Anthony's shoes, where he decides he needs to get married to Kate again as soon possible, while at the same time, he can finally do what he wished he'd done: give her the courting she deserved.
