    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    Kate Sharma’s life appears, on the surface, to be perfectly in order—she’s engaged to Thomas Dorset, faithfully attends the church she’s belonged to since childhood, and devotes her days to teaching her beloved little students. Everything seems neat. Proper. Right.

    That is, until Father Anthony walks into her world—and suddenly, everything she thought she knew begins to unravel.

    Summary

    Later - much later - Anthony Bridgerton would look back at the moment he’d met Kate Sharma, and it would be clear that this was when his life had divided in two. There would always be, from that time onwards, before and after.

    It was unfortunate, then, that he was also delusional enough to think he could purge his obsession.

    or: Kate Sharma has just one objective for the Season: marry well enough to save her family. She’s determined to ignore her attraction for Lord Bridgerton, for everyone knows he has no plans to wed soon. Except, vexingly, he cannot seem to stay away from her.

    Summary

    “Can you read latin? What does this mean?” he asked, taking the stone with his other hand and bringing it close to her face, she seemed distrustful of him, but she also obliged him, probably because she too wanted to run away from the consequences of their present reality.
    “It means… Take one regret back.” She whispered, saddened again, “I would have been honest with my family.” She mumbled, her voice dripping with guilt.
    “I would have never courted Miss Edwina.” He confessed, voice choked with honesty and desperation, her big eyes went to his and she seemed taken aback. As she opened her mouth to question him, the ground started to move and things around them startled falling from the shelves. Anthony moved closer to Kate and gathered her in his arms, trying to protect her and before he could ask her if she felt like something changed, he blinked and the earth stopped moving, but most importantly, he wasn’t in a closet on his wedding day anymore.
    He was at the Queen’s ball, at the start of the season.
