Summary
What if Sophie was truly carrying Benedict’s child and the secret threatened to ignite a scandal powerful enough to consume them both?
As whispers coil through the ton, Cressida, the newly minted Countess of Penwood, finds herself at war with the Dowager’s relentless attempts to control her household. But instead of turning her ambition against Sophie, Cressida makes an unexpected choice, one that could redefine her reputation and secure her long-denied respect.
With tensions rising and misunderstandings pushing Sophie and Benedict toward heartbreak, it is Anthony who steps in steady, commanding, and fiercely protective to prevent love from unraveling under pressure.
In a season of pride, power, and quiet rebellion, loyalties will shift, reputations will be tested, and redemption may come from the most unlikely place.

Summary
“C’mon, get excited! Can’t start our marriage off with a sour face like that,” he chided, shooting her his most roguish grin.
Penelope’s heart gave a little lurch.
The marriage was a sham, of course. She and Colin were partners in the FBI, and before that they had been friends growing up. In fact, it was his insistence that she’d make an excellent field agent that had spurred her to apply in the first place.
Well, that and the small fact she was utterly in love with him.
The moment he’d proposed they go undercover to investigate what had happened to the lovely couple who had disappeared overnight from the highly-coveted Arcadia Falls neighborhood, Penelope knew she was in trouble. And yet, having given the idea precisely four seconds of thought, she’d agreed.
***
OR: Colin is Mulder and Pen is Scully (obviously) and they’ve got a mystery to solve, gang!

Summary
There was a perk to growing up as a princess with a silver spoon lodged between her lips, but there was also the hard truth: everyone at the academy would think she was there simply because of her standing.
Upon meeting her roommate, a witch who immediately detested her, Eloise knew that her status might just be the least of her problems.
A magic academy, romantasy AU. Succubus Eloise x Witch Cressida, with a good helping of eventual smut.

Summary
Cressida and Penwood run a hair salon together. Eloise doesn’t want to get her hair cut because she thinks it’s silly, but she does it anyway. What else could happen between Eloise and Cressida, do you think?
Scissors matter.
This is how I imagine Cressida and Penwood in a modern setting—where they haven’t been warped by their time. I like to imagine them this way

Summary
“Creativity takes courage”
This was Miss Emma Watts' mantra ever since her family placed a brush in her hand at the age of seven. Clever, funny, gentle, and wise, but also sharp, nervous, headstrong, and messy, Miss Emma Watts had all the qualities to become one of the most successful artists of her time.
However, she was a woman in a man's world and, as such, was not allowed to express her creativity as she wished.
In the early dawn of 1815, with the support of her family, Emma secured a position as a model to gain access to night lessons at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts in London. There, Emma would not only find new ways to improve her art, but she would also cross paths with the wickedly annoying yet captivating Benedict Bridgerton.
And so, the story begins—with naked forms, easels, clumsy movements, and two lost souls.

Summary
England, 1815. A new year and a new social season. Young ladies from all over the ton will flock yet again for one purpose; finding a husband.
Francesca is freshly 18 and ready to settle for someone tolerable. Practical and even-keeled, she does not expect to meet a love-match like her siblings before her. Penelope is not keen on entering spinsterhood just to live at the whims of one of her sisters. Stretched between a still kicking crush on Colin, a broken friendship with Eloise, and her ever contentious secret identity as Lady Whistledown, her future happiness depends entirely on how well she can play the balancing game. Eloise is less than pleased to be entering her second social season. Left reeling from Penelope's scathing pamphlets as Lady Whistledown, she resigns herself to playing nice, if just for the season. Her new friendship with Cressida Cowper leads her to see her fellow ladies of the ton in a new light as Eloise tries find herself amidst the ballrooms she feel so out of place in.

Summary
Sing in me, Muse, of the Queen: sharp of wit and tongue, reigning from her throne with a gimlet eye. All in England served at her pleasure, or perhaps, in fear of her displeasure.
And of her company, oh Muse? Of their barbed words and wicked ways? Oh, Muse, sing to me of our chorus. Never had the angels been so libertine.
So begins yet another season of scandal and romance, all watched by the Queen and her Chorus.
