Delilah has never truly had a good relationship with anyone. Her father had made it no secret that he did not want her and had not paid her any care, her brother had never been around, and unless you counted Lady Danbury, she would not consider she had any friends. So, how shall she cope when she is thrown into the lion's den of the ton, and attracts the attention of none other than the Bridgertons? Shall her immediate interest in Anthony lead to a happy ending, or is there an unexpected romance around the corner?

Benedict x OC Completed! 50,000 words Best ratings: #1 in Bridgerton, #1 in BenedictBridgerton Hope you enjoy 💗 Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books!

**Dearest Readers,** My quills have been sharpened in eager anticipation of the 1815 season, and I daresay it shall prove as thrilling as any before it. New faces grace our glittering ballrooms - most notably the daughters of the Earl of Somerset, presented to society for the very first time. Yours truly, **Lady Whistledown's Society Papers** ~ The Earl's daughters are opposites in every regard. Lady Marie, the younger, is softness and sweetness itself, earning the coveted title of Diamond of the Season. Her beauty and gentle charm quickly capture the admiration of Mr. Benedict Bridgerton, who appears every inch the attentive suitor. Yet it is her elder sister, Lady Esther - sharp-witted, bold, and far less inclined toward obedience - who truly unsettles him. With their father quietly pressing for a match to secure his own hidden interests, what begins as a season of promise soon becomes a matter of urgency. And when fate intervenes, it is not the sister meant to be chosen who must secure a husband before the final dance. For in matters of the heart, dear reader, desire rarely follows expectation.Complete
