Summary
Later - much later - Anthony Bridgerton would look back at the moment he’d met Kate Sharma, and it would be clear that this was when his life had divided in two. There would always be, from that time onwards, before and after.
It was unfortunate, then, that he was also delusional enough to think he could purge his obsession.
—
or: Kate Sharma has just one objective for the Season: marry well enough to save her family. She’s determined to ignore her attraction for Lord Bridgerton, for everyone knows he has no plans to wed soon. Except, vexingly, he cannot seem to stay away from her.

Summary
Edmund suffers an accident and is paralyzed. Newly arrived in England with her family, Kate accepts a position as his caretaker.
She loves the Bridgertons dearly and feels a father's care from Edmund. It is a shame their eldest son, Anthony, is hell bent on questioning her every decision - even though he has never met her. And now he is arriving at Aubrey Hall for the entire summer.

you take issue with my requirements? by chrkrose

Summary
Kate reaches for her reticule, withdrawing a small leather-bound notebook. "I have compiled a list of my own"
“A list of gentlemen?” Lady Danbury's voice climbs an octave
“Of requirements. For a husband, that is”.
“And what, pray, are the 'requirements' you seek in this hypothetical husband?”
Kate looks at the notebook in her hands.
“Tolerable. Dutiful. Decent manners. Steady enough income to support a small household. No gambling debts or illegitimate children. Not a brute in private. And ideally,” she says, lifting her eyes to meet Lady Danbury’s, “he must have the ability to hold a conversation without being a complete bore”. She finishes. At Lady Danbury’s silence, Kate shifts once more in her seat. Then adds: “That last part is not so much a requirement, but a preference.”

When The Sheffields withdraw their offer to provide Edwina’s dowry, Kate realizes she has no other option but to enter the marriage mart. For purely practical reasons.

Summary
A distracted and stressed Anthony hits a cyclist — this is really going to fuck up his morning. Kate is having the best morning she can remember — until a posh wanker in an Audi runs her over.
---
Out of nowhere a body bounced onto his bonnet and rolled up to the windscreen. Anthony gaped as the figure slid off his car in slow motion.
Wild screams from the back seat.
'Oh my god, Anthony! You killed someone!'
'You killed a cyclist!'
