    Summary

    “You must be a bigger imbecile than I had originally deduced,” Anthony says, quietly to not make a scene, but trembling with rage nonetheless. “I do not know how the thought has crossed your mind, but I would rather fall in a ditch than find out who you are and why you are here. All I know is that you must leave these premises immediately, and step away from my woman before I have your extracted limbs escorted by the guards.”

    Summary

    "That moment when their noses had brushed as their hands measured the beat of each other’s hearts, when she’d seemed to truly see him - not the eldest Bridgerton, not the wealthy Viscount, but Anthony, fears and flaws and all - he swears a part of him had wanted to drop to his knees and beg her for - he does not know what. Anything. Everything.

    When he jolts awake, he can still feel the ghost of her handprint over his rapidly beating heart."

    A reimagining of select scenes from Season 2, beginning with The Pall Mall Incident.
