    Summary

    One of Penelope Featherington’s favorite pastimes—her secret indulgence—was people-watching. Not the idle glancing that passed the time between dances, but true observation, the kind that required patience, a keen eye, and a deep understanding of human nature. And there was no subject she observed more intently than Viscount Anthony Bridgerton.

But when trouble comes knocking and the secrets she thought were buried begin to surface, it’s the Bridgertons’ turn to protect their beloved bee.

    Summary

    “Get out of the car,” Hopper says, finally, and Billy blows air out hard, breaking open the thin scabbing on his lip again.

    He fumbles with the door, climbs out and stands there, his feet hot and sweating inside his sneakers. It’s awful, Hopper is looking at him with something like pity, enough silent sadness to infuriate him, and Billy can’t figure out how to get past this moment - and then. He doesn’t need to, because everything changes.

    Summary

    In 1815, twenty-year-old William Hargrove is a celebrated sea captain, hero of the French navy, beloved by his crew and son of Marseille's respected governor. His star flies high, and he's supported at every turn by his first mate and secret lover Steve Harrington. It seems nothing can bring him down--

    --until he's suddenly and unexpectedly accused of treason, and sent without trial to the fearsome Chateau d'If, a nightmarish prison where he faces horrific torture and abuse, and from which there can be no escape. In one stroke, Billy loses his freedom, his reputation, his friends and his position - and he's forced to leave behind his beloved Steve, never to see him again.

    The Chateau d'If offers little in the way of hope... but Billy swears that he'll have his vengeance against those who have betrayed him. He'll escape the lonely prison, regain his power and fortune, and reclaim everything he's lost - including Steve.

    Summary

    Then Harrington’s omega scent wafts down, covering him like a thick blanket. Billy takes a long, stuttering breath out of instinct. Harrington matches him. In. Out. In. Out. Together, like a bunch of fucking hippies. Harrington’s fingers find their way back to Billy’s upper shoulder, squeezing gently in sync to their breathing. Billy whines and squeaks as strong hands melt the stiff muscles of his neck. He moves to raise a hand to his mouth, to swallow his fist and shut himself up. Harrington, the fucker, wraps his mole dotted legs around Billy’s shoulder to stop him. Billy whimpers and leans back, resigned to his fate.

    ---

    Or, Billy loses a bet and discovers a lot more about both himself and Steve than he expected
