Witty, daring and with a secret knack for painting Frances Granville arrives at London with two convictions: one, that she is not interested in men, especially not in lords who parade impeccably around courting innocent young ladies at balls only to close their nights in brothels. Two, that if she does not secure a husband, her father will make a match with someone at least twice her age and half her wits. Franny navigates the courting season, her loving and quaint family and her attraction to a certain Bridgerton brother with a charming smile while she finds her own definition of what it means to be a woman in the Regency era.

Lilian Parkhurst is no stranger to attention, but when she and her younger brother Julian arrive in London, the whispers surrounding them only grow louder. With her striking beauty and a mind sharper than any diamond, she is the talk of the town. Yet, Lilian has no intention of joining the season and fulfilling the role of a marriageable young lady. She's come to London to enjoy life on her own terms, free from the pressures that come with being a woman of her standing. Staying with Lady Danbury while her parents remain in France, she's content to enjoy her time out of the spotlight, until she meets Anthony Bridgerton. Anthony Bridgerton, the dashing eldest son, is accustomed to getting what he wants-except when it comes to Lilian Parkhurst. From the moment Anthony meets Lilian, sparks fly-but not in the way he's used to. She challenges everything he believes about love and marriage, and the more he pursues her, the more he becomes captivated by her strength and wit. As their encounters grow heated, Anthony is drawn into a dangerous game of passion and power. What begins as a battle of wills soon turns into something far deeper.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐄 difference between a sin and a clandestine longing? A yearning that pulses silently beneath the surface, sheltered away from a place where love is tightly defined and drawn by ancient hands. Can a heart so full and so pure truly be blamed as sinful? Or is the true sin in the unspoken truth that binds them to stare across ballrooms? Siena DeLuca would have never imagined that one's heart could stray so far from the paths taught to follow. Her rebellion and often misunderstood ideals had never ventured so far as to imagine herself dipping her toes into forbidden places. But Eloise Bridgerton surely is a spark in the darkness- a wildfire that refuses to be tamed. She is the ocean's tide that pulls her to uncharted shores, leaves her wondering if she even cares about being a castaway from a society that has terribly failed at comprehending them. So, if it is a sin, must they sincerely care if they are sinners? BOOK 1 OF THE: 『 BETWEEN THE FOLDS OF MY LETTERS 』SERIES!

What will happen if he finds out that the same lady in question was no other than his sister's best friend and their long time neighbor, Penelope Featherington?

Known as a heartbreaker, the young woman amazed people with her sharp tongue and questionable temperament and when she arrived in the centre of England, she was going to win over someone in particular. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. The Bridgerton Family could be a good target and if Benedict Bridgerton was available and interested, Victoria would be a great choice. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. As Lady Whistledown would say, although she didn't want to, this season could be the perfect one for Victoria to find a good marriage and, besides, messing with Benedict's mind with lots of colour wouldn't be a bad idea.

Magnolia || Colin Bridgerton by eisntme

Magnolia || Colin Bridgerton Every member of the London ton in 1813 knew of the closeness between the Bridgerton and Hayward families. They summered in the country together, had houses next to one another, and even their backyards were connected along a little white fence.

Kathryn Bishop had a great life. She grew up with loving and supportive parents and a younger sister who she got along with. Mr and Mrs. Bishop were lucky enough to marry for love and Kathryn could not wait until she was old enough to marry someone that she loved. True love was what she looked for and she would not settle for less. That's why when she found herself in a loveless marriage with Viscount Bridgerton she could not have been more confused and somewhat angry. How did her life end up like that? What had gone wrong? And more importantly what could she do to fix it? {fem oc x Anthony Bridgerton} {Season 1} This story will take place in season 1 but most likely will have its own story line that's doesn't necessarily follow the show *I do not know the Bridgerton characters or the Bridgerton story line.

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 that some bonds are as inevitable as the tides, drawing one and one together despite the constraints that bind them away from each other. Some cannot be escaped, others do not want to escape. But then there is society, and though evolving, it is certainly demanding of compliance. I ask you, from an unopened letter: Can the gravity of an undeniable connection be labeled as wrong? As fruit of insanity? Perhaps some truths are destined to remain shrouded in mystery, but Siena DeLuca and Eloise Bridgerton cannot, for crying out loud, endure ignorance, and much less impotence. If the world refuses to see them through gentle eyes- or accepting ones, simply- then they would damn right assure that they would find a way to wreak havoc raucous enough to earn the disdain. Because to love in secrecy is a burden, an exhausting endeavor even for those restless as them. But it is also a world too old to remain unchanging, a world too entrenched in tradition. So, when does one seize the moment to ignite revolution? When does one know it is the right moment to set in motion a scheme so grand it is meant to redefine existence as we know it?
