Summary
“There hasn’t been a storm this bad in years!” King Hubert declared, once they were all back indoors. Hubert, Phillip, Mother, Father, and then there was her. She? Aurora couldn’t recall the proper grammar. Those lessons were long and relentless. They always ended with her feeling English was foreign as wherever that viscount hailed from.
Everything was foreign now.

Summary
On paper, New York state doesn’t have any anti-miscegenation laws on the books. In practice, though, that doesn’t stop every judge in the state from refusing to marry Anne and Phillip. The two of them come to take that in stride and decide they don’t need legalities to be married.

Summary
Six years into his partnership with circus mogul PT Barnum, Phillip Carlyle’s erratic drinking has finally driven Anne Wheeler out of town and into the arms of a respectable Southern lawyer. Determined to move on with his life, Phillip throws himself into the task of developing Caroline Barnum’s budding ballet career, appealing to his old friend—the dashing, formidable balletomane Eric Thorne—for help.
But when a newly divorced Anne unexpectedly reappears in New York, her return sets in motion a stunning betrayal that leaves the Barnum family—and Caroline's future—in ruins. Devastated by Thorne's treachery, Phillip is forced to face his own complicity…and play an increasingly deadly game against an opponent that never loses.
*COMPLETE*
A/N: Canon-compliant, post-movie, standalone. WARNINGS for heavy themes (including discussions of suicidal ideation, divorce, and coming-of-age sexuality), period-typical violence/substance abuse, tobacco use, and occasional language. Also heavy on the romance, friendship, and found-family feels.
