    Summary

    Benedict Bridgerton never wanted the crown, but fate—and tragedy—made him King. Now, consumed by duty and grief, he is driven by a singular purpose: to hunt the Beast stalking the Shadow Forest, the creature he blames for his family's ruin.

    Sophie Baek just wants to survive. Hiding in plain sight within the castle walls as the new governess to the young princes, she guards a deadly secret: she is the prey the King desperately seeks.

    Between mythology lessons, arguments over messy books, and an electric tension neither can ignore, Sophie discovers that the true danger isn't the King's blade, but the solitude of the man behind the crown.

    OR; King Benedict searches the forest for a monster, unaware that she is currently right under his nose as his siblings' new governess. A high-stakes retelling where the Beast is the girl, and the Beauty is the King holding the gun.

    Summary

    Benedict Bridgerton has finally found the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

    Her name is Sophie Baek.

    But when fears about the future of Benedict's younger siblings threaten their happiness, Sophie makes the ultimate sacrifice and walks away from the man she loves.

    Before she leaves, they make a promise.
    If ten years pass and they are both still unmarried, they will find their way back to each other.

    Ten years is a long time to wait. Long enough for loneliness to become a companion. Long enough for regret to settle deep within the heart.
    Yet neither of them forgets.

    A story of sacrifice, longing, forgiveness, and second chances, *The Long Road to Forever* is the tale of two people who lose ten years together—only to discover that some loves are strong enough to survive time itself.

    Summary

    Benedict Bridgerton has abandoned the Academy and resigned himself to the ordinary future expected of a second son. His dreams of becoming an artist have failed, and all that awaits him now seems to be a sensible, respectable life chosen by everyone but himself.

    Sophie Baek is counting down the days until she can leave London behind. Armed with an inheritance and a fierce determination to remain an independent artist, she has no interest in society, marriage, or anything that might disrupt the future she has planned for herself.

    Their lives are already set on separate paths.

    Surely one invitation to a masquerade ball cannot change either of them…

    Summary

    He had heard the tales and read the poems. In the eyes of an artisan, few things stood more coveted than a muse. Though he’d never counted himself truly and honestly among their ranks, Benedict had always thought it rather constricting to draw from a single wellspring, especially in a world so riveting and unexplored.

    But this…he’d hardly felt something like this before. His heart beat rapidly. His fingers flexed, searching, discontent with the empty air. Not even the glide of a silk glove across his palm could satiate.

    Each moment, every detail—he had to capture them. He had to make her real.

    -

    A portrait of Benedict, his art, and the two people that drew him back to it.

    Summary

    Benedict and Sophie chose the road less traveled, and what if that had all played out differently? An angstier rewrite from 4x06 on where Benedict and Sophie chose to leave together.

    ”And your family?” She asked, lifting her head again to see his face, to look into his eyes, ready to draw fortitude from the hurt she knew she would see. “I have never before seen such mutual love. I could not live with myself if I tore you away from them.”

    ”I could not live with them if they tore me away from you,” he answered sharply. One hand slid from her back to come and rest low on her belly. “And I will not be separated from my child.”

    Summary

    Intoxicated by a false sense of freedom, Benedict Bridgerton meets a servant girl whose life becomes entangled with his in ways he could never have expected.

    And when he later encounters a mysterious lady at a masquerade ball, only to discover that she is the very same girl, he is forced to ask himself the one question he has asked so many times before:

    What on earth has he got himself into this time?

    After all, love is not simple when one of them is a gentleman and the other is meant to disappear into the walls. As gossip sharpens, family duty closes in, and Sophie’s past threatens to ruin what little safety she has left, Benedict must decide whether his love is only a beautiful feeling, or something strong enough to cost him everything.

    Summary

    Hyacinth had already charged ahead, boots thudding against the suspiciously spotless floor. She slid to a dramatic halt in the center of the room and spun in a circle. “BROTHER,” she yelled, voice echoing off tidy walls, “WHY DOES YOUR HOUSE LOOK LIKE A PERSON WITH THEIR LIFE TOGETHER LIVES HERE?”

    From the adjoining room came the soft clink of porcelain. Benedict appeared, holding a tray of teacups arranged with care, his sleeves rolled to his forearms, hair pulled back with deliberate neatness. He stopped dead at the sight of his family.

    “…Hello,” he said, as if greeting them cautiously might keep the moment from unraveling.

    He turned to look at her, unable to resist. That dreamy look was fixed on the sky above them once more. The moonlight and stars sparkled in her dark eyes.

    His Sophie was a work of art. Everything he'd ever loved in a painting was present in her smile. She was so genuine, so full of life, so beautiful. Benedict could stare at her for hours and still not capture all she was on a canvas. But, God, was he ready to spend the rest of his life trying. "Still quite, the view," he whispered.

    “Then which types of ladies do you select instead?”

    “This is an absurd conversation,” Benedict protests. “But – actresses. Artists. Unhappy wives with an understanding. The rare divorcée. Widows.”

    Sophie frowns. “That is of no use to me at all! My watercolours are scarcely better than average. And how can I become a widow or divorcée if no one will marry me first?”

    Summary

    The familiar words float past his mind: who are you?

    Will she ever let him in on that mystery? He supposes the more pertinent question is whether he can earn her trust enough to be allowed that grace. Goodness knows he's been trying his best, and when his words failed to convince her of his good intentions, he had little choice but to start utilising other methods. She is clever—indeed, that is one of his favourite things about her—so he can no longer insist on his logic being as sound as he reckoned it was.

    So instead he's been wearing her out, seducing her slowly within the confines of her strict boundaries.
