Summary
The solicitor’s office smelled of parchment and beeswax and the past. Colin sat with his shoulders locked. Lady Danbury’s presence at his side was a cane struck against fear.
Bequests were named. Trusts described. Then, like a blade sliding cleanly in, came the thing that would reconfigure his every hour.
“…guardianship of August Basset, and the stewardship of the Hastings estates,” the solicitor read, voice carefully neutral, “to Colin Bridgerton, Viscount Bridgerton, until such time as the child attains his majority.”
The world narrowed. Auggie. Daphne’s son. Simon’s heir. A baby who, as of this hour, had no mother or father left in the world.
***
After a tragic accident, Colin is left to become Viscount, the guardian of August, and to find a new normal in a life he never thought he would have. This will go through the first few months after the accident, then fast-forward, because, as the tags suggest, people may not have actually died, which will make for some drama.
***This is not a Colin/Penelope or Anthony/Kate storyline, but instead has Colin/Kate together. If you cannot get past that, please DO NOT READ*** -

Summary
The room was dim, the windows shuttered tight against the outside world. A single desk lamp cast long shadows across the worn wooden table, where two cups of untouched tea had long since gone cold.
“Do you understand the assignment?” came the voice across from him, low, clipped, and final.
Colin didn’t blink. “Yes, sir.”
The man nodded once. “Good. You leave in a week’s time.”

Summary
This story is a WW2 story set as England heads into 1941 and another year of war. This is the sequel to my story Concealed Affections. I would advise reading that first especially as I did create some new charaters that are not in the books or show and you might be a bit confused.
Colin and Penelope have found each other, but they are about to find out that it is not easy to be in love in the middle of a war. Especially when Colin's job is so precarious. Anthony met Kate at the end of the last story and this time we follow their up and down relationship. Has Anthony finally found someone to share the burden's of life with? And if he has will he ever admit it?
Eloise's intuition leads to a difficult situation that Theo, her brother a Hugh have to decide how to deal with.
But what happen's when it becomes apparent that the girls are prepared to put themselves in danger in order to help the war effort?Series

Summary
In a kingdom built on legacy and secrets, one princess is forced to become something more.
Princess Penelope Featherington has always lived in the shadow of her mother’s crown and her sisters’ ambitions. Sheltered but sharp, she knows the quiet power of observation in a court ruled by grace, tradition, and expectation. But when a long-absent cousin returns to the palace, the delicate balance of her world begins to unravel.
In one terrible night, everything changes.
Torn from the only life she’s ever known, Penelope must navigate a realm filled with danger, deception, and old magic—where loyalty is fragile, power is deadly, and survival might demand more than she’s ever been taught to give.
A royal fantasy of betrayal, resilience, and a girl who was never meant to rule… until she must.Series

Summary
Colin Bridgerton returns home from three years’ worth of traveling to find that everything and everyone in the Ton is just the same as the way he left them. At least, that is what seems to be the case until he attends the first ball of the season at Lady Danbury’s estate and reunites with his dear friend and most consistent correspondent, Penelope Featherington. It is not long into their first dance that the rug is pulled from beneath both of their feet and everything, quite literally everything, between them changes.
--
Or, Colin is an Alpha, Penelope might not really be a Beta, and they are bonded in a way that defies logic and precedence.
