    Summary

    As the London Season begins, practicality wins the day for two members of the Ton who have been burned by love.

    Instead of continuing to moon over a man who made it publicly and painfully clear he would never want her, Penelope Featherington has buried her girlish fantasies of a love match and decided to treat marriage as nothing more than the business arrangement it is.

    Meanwhile, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, who learned the hard way that love isn’t always enough, vows to move forward and do his duty to the family he gave up everything to protect. Love has no place in a marriage, at least not for him, so Anthony resolves to once again seek the marriage of convenience he originally intended.

    All Pen wants is independence from her mother and all Anthony needs is an heir. But, maybe, just maybe, they’ll get more than they ever bargained for in the process.

    Summary

    At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife.

    Having interviewed most of the ladies of the ton and found none deserving, his interest was piqued whilst at the Danbury Ball when he overhears his mother and sister speak of a lady in high regard; and in their comments found that this woman shares the same qualities he had been looking for in a prospect.

    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?

    Summary

    It's the night Penelope Featherington is set to deliver her Lady Whistledown article to the printer; the article that will reveal Marina's pregnancy and plot to entrap Colin into a hasty marriage. But Penelope makes a different choice. Instead of to the printer, she goes to the Viscount Bridgerton to beg his help. At first he's deeply skeptical of the mousy redhead's claims, but eventually he sees the light and they are able to save Colin from himself.

    The next day, Lord Bridgerton calls on Penelope to thank her again for her help and ask if there is any way to repay her for saving his family--again. Penelope knows just what to ask for...

    Summary

    Before the war, when Tommy and the Shelby family were simple bookmakers that just dabbled in criminality, John was not the only one who married early. After impregnating a girl from the almighty gypsy Boswell clan, Tommy Shelby is forced to marry Tess. However, as she would soon find out, the person she first met was not the person who returned from the war.
    This is the story of Tess Shelby in the wake of the Peaky Blinder expansion as the wife of Thomas Shelby and the mother to his children.
