Parliament sits, the great houses light their chandeliers, and the marriage market of the ton begins — a diamond named, a duke sworn never to marry, and a scandal sheet that knows everything. The Original Line of Regency London: dance it as it was written, or make a match no one saw coming.
The eldest Bridgerton and reluctant head of the family since his father's death — driven, controlled, determined to marry for duty and never for love because love is the one risk he watched cost everything. A viscount at war with his own heart.
The spinster who won't be managed
KateSharma
Sharp, independent, arrived from India to see her younger sister well married and no intention of marrying herself — the one woman immune to the viscount's charm and infuriatingly his equal at every turn. Fierce, loyal, guarding a heart she's decided she can't afford.
The artist · second Bridgerton son
BenedictBridgerton
The second Bridgerton son, an aspiring artist adrift between the expectations of his class and the bohemian world that actually calls to him. Open-hearted, searching, more sensitive than his easy charm suggests; the sibling who wants a bigger life than the ton allows.
