[1] The Queen Dowager of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton by f1royalty

The tale of Her Majesty The Queen Dowager of Württemberg unfolds not as a fairy-tale love story with a happily ever after but as a narrative of growth and resilience. Returning to London with her youngest children after her husband's demise, she steps back into the swirl of the 1813 social season. Life demanded many sacrifices from Charlotte, but none weighed as heavily as the sacrifice of her enduring love, especially for one man-a particular Viscount. Thirteen years after burying the echoes of their first love, fate orchestrates a poignant reunion between Charlotte and the Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton. What they believed to be entombed emotions rise to the surface with each encounter, proving that some feelings, no matter how deeply buried, refuse to remain silent. Love crashes onto their souls once again, defying the passage of time and stirring the embers of a connection they thought had long faded away. The 1813 social season will definitely be as unexpected as it will be beautiful and scandalous. Lady Whistledown shall have to purchase more ink...

And of course, the original creator of all characters and books, Julia Quinn and to Chris Van Duden, the creator/showrunner/executive producer of the Netflix Original Series: Bridgerton.
