    Summary

    In 1803, sixteen-year-old Benedict Bridgerton is spending the summer in Paris when the Napoleonic Wars are declared and he becomes a prisoner of war. The Bridgertons constantly worry about their missing brother, working to find a way to bring him home when suddenly the letters stop.

    In 1807, eighteen-year-old Sophie Baek is illegally sold as a maid to a family in Verdun, when she meets Benjamin Sojourner, a mysterious and handsome young Englishman who lost his memory in an accident three years earlier.

    In 1814, twenty-three-year-old Colin Bridgerton is touring France when Sophie Lefèvre, a happily married seamstress invites him home for dinner. Upon arriving to the Lefèvre residence, Colin is shocked to run into his long thought dead brother, Benedict, now happily married with four children and has no idea what the hell Colin is talking about when he calls him “Benedict” much less “brother.”

    How Colin is going to explain this one to the family is anyone’s guess.

    Summary

    Prince Henry represents everything Alex Claremont-Diaz hates about the wealthy and privileged. While every news outlet in the country is obsessively reporting on Henry’s abdication and subsequent move to the U.S. to attend a PhD program, Alex just wishes he could have a single day when he’s not reminded of the guy's stupid face. Except he won’t stop coming into the coffee shop where Alex works.

    Still reeling from the public and private backlash on his decision to leave England, all Henry wants is to keep his head down and get through the semester. But when Alex comes barreling headfirst into his life—bright, brash, an embodiment of all the things he cannot have—Henry finds himself entirely unable to keep away.

    Summary

    “It’s just a compatibility test like any other dating scheme. It’s pseudo-science, at best.”

    “It’s a soulmate system, Iwa-chan. You can’t tell me you’re not at least a little curious.”

    Iwaizumi wasn't sure what was worse--that he was tempted to believe in this soulmate thing, or that he got matched with someone so unattainable.

    Summary

    The entire world has it on video. Alex stumbling forward, straight into Henry’s shoulder, knocking him back into the table and then crumbling to the ground, the cake falling on top of them. Everyone thinks Alex was drunk, or that he hates him, or that he’s immature or unfit for his title, but none of it’s the truth. Everyone’s acting like it’s the end of the world regardless.

    And maybe, for Alex, it kind of is.

    --

    [Or, the way things might have played out if Alex had been diagnosed with type one diabetes after the royal wedding.]
