As the youngest Bridgerton daughter, Valentina has mastered the art of charming the ton with her sharp wit, dazzling smile, and an alarming penchant for mischief. But when her vivacious spirit catches the attention of the Queen's impeccably polished godson, Remington Fairfax, the ballroom becomes a battlefield of teasing glances, stolen moments, and undeniable chemistry.

Bound by duty and groomed for perfection, Remington finds himself utterly unprepared for Valentina's playful defiance-and completely unable to resist her. The Queen, ever the matchmaker, sees them as her crowning achievement, but beneath the chandeliers of gilded ballrooms, scandal brews as whispers of their flirtations threaten to upend their delicate world.

Between longing gazes, sharp banter, and dances that linger too long, one question remains: can love conquer the expectations of royalty and the watchful eye of the ton, or will their romance unravel into nothing more than whispers in the dark?

A Gentleman's Secret: Francesca Bridgerton

11 parts Ongoing

In the glittering world of Regency London, Francesca Bridgerton has long been a woman of sharp wit and even sharper instincts. But when a mysterious, handsome gentleman enters her life, everything she thought she knew about love and loyalty is thrown into question. Unbeknownst to her, this enigmatic aristocrat is none other than the Crown Prince, who has forsaken his royal duties to seek solace among the commoners, hiding his identity to escape the heavy burdens of the throne. As their connection deepens, Francesca finds herself drawn to the man beneath the mask, unaware that his past could shatter the future she dares to dream of. The stakes are high: a love that could topple an empire and the dangerous secret he must protect at all costs. Will she uncover the truth before it's too late, or will the prince's royal obligations force them apart forever? A tale of passion, deception, and royal intrigue, A Gentleman's Secret explores the lengths one will go to for love-and the sacrifices made when the heart is torn between duty and desire.
