    Summary

    The Bridgertons remain the same influential and powerful family they have always been.

    In an effort to distract from a major scandal, the palace comes up with a better story: Reformed heir to the throne, Prince Anthony, settles down with hotshot lawyer Kate Sharma.

    For Kate, what starts as a favor to a friend spirals into a media frenzy that's even more tumultuous from the inside.

    or: the fake relationship/royal au. (feat. a meddlesome gossip twitter account, a vacation to Spain, and Bridgerton antics.)

    He looked almost exactly the same, stood in front of an aging hospital in a tailored suit. He had a little more grey at his temples and in his beard and his eyes didn’t look as haunted but it was him.

    After all this time, all the effort she’d spent to try and find him.
    “Holy Fuck.”
    “Bad word!” Neddy said as Edwina and Mary both stared at her.
    “What?” Edwina asked, looking between Kate and the television.
    Kate swallowed, the words choking in her throat. “That’s N-E-D-D-Y’s D-A-D.”

    Summary

    Newton dies of old age a few weeks before Christmas in 1822, and Anthony feels Aubrey Hall go strangely still, in a way that he has not for many years.

    He feels foolish at first for even thinking it — to compare the losses. But there is something similar in the stillness of mourning, in the agonizing silences that make his palms itch helplessly. There is something about hearing the heartbreaking cries of his second son echo down the hall from the nursery that makes a stone lodge in the pit of his stomach.

    It’s familiar, that is why he loathes it so.

    Summary

    It is terrible luck, really, that the Duchess of Hastings walks in on them at the exact moment that Lord Bridgerton’s lips are but a hair’s breadth from her own. Just a second prior, Kate had learnt the rush of heat as his hands wound needy paths upon her bare skin. It was fascinating really, the way her skin rose up in little goosebumps in response. The way the blood pounded in her throat. The feeling of the floor dropping out from beneath her.

     

    If she had a soulmate, this was exactly how she had imagined she would feel.
