    Summary

    London's orphans with Talent are rented to agencies that need them and, in exchange, they receive a portion of the payment. Lockwood and Lucy are two such orphans. Unfortunately, children who are so alone in the world are low-hanging fruit for those who would take advantage of them. They can only cover for each other and hope that's enough.

    Summary

    Dearest Gentlereader,

    The subject that has set the ton abuzz and everyone bereft of answers may soon be coming to its conclusion yet. Naturally, I would hate to have to print any retraction however, it seems this writer, too, may have to reconsider concerning one of the more astonishing matches this season: the one between Viscount Anthony Lockwood and Ms Lucy Carlyle.

    But did our handsome Lord Lockwood finally open his eyes to exactly all he had to lose at the Finchley Ball? Certainly, there can be no other reason for his interference with one of Ms Francesca Bridgerton's potential suitors. Paired with his early calling at Viscount Bridgerton's house two days after and ecstatic exit, perhaps wedding bells may be in Lord Lockwood's future after all... just not with the surely broken-hearted Ms Carlyle.

    After the death of her best friend, Ms Lucy Carlyle is sponsored for the 1815 London season by Norrie's aunt. Instantly compared to the Diamond due to their astonishingly similar looks, she befriends Lord Lockwood quite unexpectedly yet is left wondering if she was a fool for believing he'd look twice at a mere country girl.

    Summary

    They convinced themselves they were fine because they just couldn’t deal with everything without the relief they found within each other, that they could safely do it again even. They convinced themselves nothing would happen, that the risks were so few they were inexistent…

    But when had the odds ever been in their favor?
