Summary
Dearest Readers, as you might remember, I do not silence easily.
It is the beginning of the 1815 social season, those of the Ton are returning from their lush country houses, and that means a new and improved Lady Whistledown column. I'm sure we are all very excited to pick up where we left off last season. I have even heard through the grapevine that one wandering traveller shall grace us with his charming presence for the entire season. Now wouldn't that be a lovely treat, gentle reader?
Can Mr. Colin Bridgerton handle the entirety of a London season? Perhaps he will simply disappear, off on another adventure before the season can reach its exciting climax. Pardon me, my dearest readers, or is it that he simply runs as fast as his legs can carry him from responsibility? Time will tell, and I will reveal all. For you can always trust me to report the very best of secrets. Secrets about all of you, but rest assured, there is one secret I will never divulge and that is the identity of this author.
Do your worst, London.

Summary
“This is not happening Colin. I am not going to play any part in this, do you hear me?”
“Of course, nobody would expect you to fall over at my feet, especially in light of my unforgivably rude comments last Season.” Colin said, all reason and calm as he collected his hat from a footman, “And what would be the entertainment in that? You must be permitted to test my mettle as a suitor. Indeed I am beginning to look forward to the chase.”
“There will be no entertainment! No chase!” Penelope protested, panic steadily rising within her. “Colin-”
“Good day, Miss Penelope.” Colin smiled, familiar laughter and devilry dancing on his handsome face. She watched in mute outrage as he tipped his hat to her and strolled out her front door.
After his careless words ruined Penelope's prospects on the marriage mart, Colin is determined to do everything he can to restore her reputation and to find her a good match, even if it means pretending to court his best friend.
However, outside forces with a grudge against the Bridgertons inadvertently transforms a wallflower into the most coveted prize of the London Season of 1815.

Summary
When Lord Anthony Bridgerton and the new Lady Kate Bridgerton (nee Sharma) return to London from their honeymoon, their new life together begins under the watchful eye of the ton. Despite attempting to keep their relationship free of emotion, Anthony finds himself falling in love with his wife, but too afraid to do anything about it. Little does he know that Kate is struggling with her growing feelings for Anthony, haunted by the memory of his declaration that he will never love her. As they face obstacles, all while their passion for each other intensifies, will Anthony and Kate be able to trust, and, eventually find each other?
Sequel to The Honeymoon. This story expands on the plotline of Book!Kanthony (canon-divergence) with some overlap/integrated themes/dialogue from TV!Kanthony. It exists in the world of TV!Bridgerton (modern historical fantasy).
