FOR FANS OF BRIDGERTON

All Penelope wants to do is become a spinster in peace. The problem is, no one will let her. Eligible bachelors from all over descend on her mother's castle to win her hand, and Penelope is forced to bat her eyes and pretend they've been rejected because they haven't succeeded in getting her to fall in love. In reality, after ten proposals and a tizzy of admirers, Penelope doesn't believe she's capable of it. When her mother catches wind of Penelope's plans to stay unmarried, she forces her into an ultimatum: marry the duke who has just proposed or be cut off. 

Harry is known by dozens of names, the Devil and Satan being the kindest among them. Falsely accused of slaying his half-brother and disowned by his father, Harry is forced to live as an outcast shrouded in the blackest of rumors. When his housekeeper dies, despite all his attempts to appeal to the peasantry, not a single applicant turns up. Harry is forced to resort to an unlikely, half-baked scheme with a girl he can't stand. She will be his housekeeper in order to scare her mother out of an ultimatum and he will use the presence of a lady to attract a real replacement. It will be a simple, loveless transaction...as long as they're able to resist each other...

34 parts Complete
After spending years as one of the most notorious rakes of the ton, Anthony Bridgerton has decided it's time to settle down and carry on the family line. He knows love exists, because his parents were a shining example of a loving, happy marriage. Still, he has no intentions of falling in love with his intended bride. Anthony's father died quite young, so Anthony believes, albeit irrationally, that he will die young too. Falling in love is a complication he doesn't need in his already too short life, so he sets out to court the beauty who is the latest toast of the ton. She is a woman who meets his requirements for a wife, but with whom he could never see himself falling in love. Anthony just didn't count on the infuriating lady stirring his desires in a way no other woman ever has. Amelia Windsor has no intention of allowing Anthony Bridgerton anywhere near herself. She vows to do whatever it takes to interfere with the rakish viscount's courtship, but in the process manages to unintentionally get herself into some outlandish situations, which also place her into close proximity with the man himself. Her encounters with Anthony leave her hot and bothered and feeling confused. But outside forces draw the two apart. Princess Amelia is engaged to King of Spain, while Anthony is forcefully engaged to Miss Edwina Sharma. Neither are a love match. Can the two break free of their chains and reunite? Or will they forever be held in place by their mistakes, regrets, and societal expectations? We shall find out, my gentle reader. #2 lovesquare

Rescued by a hunter, he molds himself into one of the best warriors of Cascadia. Impressed, the queen gives him a direct order to kill a traitor to the kingdom; the crowned prince, Dove. As a reward, he is offered a potion which was a way to bring back his lover from the dead. Despite being the sole heir, Dove has been relegated to the role of a servant by his stepmother. Neil could not bring himself to complete the task when their paths cross. So, they join forces facing challenging quests to collect seven items required to make the potion. The only catch? They need to do so before the last shard of the mystical glass painting falls as the potion would then expire. As the clock ticks, Neil is left to make a choice. Will he betray the young prince and become the hero of the kingdom or try to complete an impossible task with the risk of facing a lifetime of cruelty in the dungeons? ________________ Second draft editing was done with the help of @eacomiskey please check out her works too! **I do not own the cover image.

REWRITING IT WITH THE SAME PLOT! He pushes me against one of the book shelves and I am glad that all students and Madam Pince have left. His lips trail to my neck, "Let me be honest, that mark above your breast, turns me on so much" he says biting the flesh of my breast. "Oh, and I am never that drunk to not know when a girl slaps me" His hand grabs around my neck as he lays me down, "That was quite a swing, princess" He's talking about how I slapped him when he got drunk after that match when him and I were in an argument. "Get over my knee" he orders adjusting his pants as he man-spreads on the chair. His lap teasing me to get over it for a night of my life. "What?" I blink innocently, "Over my knee. Now" I get over his knee without another question, because Draco Malfoy does not ask twice. Olivia was never just an ordinary girl. Muggle-born-or so she's told-she joins Hogwarts in her first year and quickly discovers that her powers go far beyond what any young witch should possess. As Olivia uncovers chilling secrets about her past, she finds herself drawn into the fight alongside the Golden Trio against the rising dark forces. But when her path collides with Draco Malfoy-her sworn rival turned reluctant ally-everything changes. Love sparks in the shadows, truths unravel, and Olivia is forced to confront the darkest secret of all... the one hidden inside herself. Power. Legacy. And a love that could destroy or save them both. All the copyrights and characters are owned by J.K. Rowling, except for the ones that I will create, which will be easy to identify. The general story idea is similar to HP books, but with my own fanfiction spiciness. My story happens around this time, well not actually 2020 but not in 1900s too. So hope you enjoy a little magic, love and pain with modern tech! And a little warning - MATURE CONTENT. Contains harsh language, knife work, smut and fluff.

Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, is a beacon of regality, yet beneath her crown lies a woman determined to defy the conventional expectations of royalty. After an eventful year and a half in Prussia, Charlotte faces an unforeseen challenge during the social season of 1813: the necessity to find a suitable husband. This unexpected twist leaves her in a state of utter disbelief and confusion. Despite the adoration she receives and the persona she projects publicly, a lifetime of insecurities haunts her. They say that to love others, one must first love oneself. Now, the Princess Royal stands on the precipice of self-discovery and acceptance. The journey to self-love promises to unravel the layers of vulnerability beneath the majestic exterior she presents to the world. As the 1813 social season unfolds, it becomes evident that Charlotte has beguiled the three eldest Bridgerton brothers. Each, in his own right, is captivated by her presence. A Viscount, driven by duty; an artistic soul, yearning for creative pursuits; and an adventurer, dreaming of exploring distant lands. The stage is set for a romantic spectacle, but only one brother can claim the heart of The Princess Royal. This fanfic follows Season 1 of the Bridgerton Netflix series, based on the novel "The Duke and I" by Julia Quinn. - Book 1: The Princess Royal Book 1.5: The Duchess of Kent and Strathearn Book 2: The Duchess of Kent and Strathearn Disclaimer: All original rights and credits of this amazing series goes to its creators. And of course, the original creator of all characters and books, Julia Quinn and to Chris Van Duden, the creator/showrunner/executive producer of the Netflix Original Series: Bridgerton. The only new/added characters are Princess Charlotte, etc, and its ideas belong to me.
