    Summary

    Elena Price was a twenty-seven-year-old Michelin-starred chef on the verge of opening her own restaurant when a car crash plunged her into the Blackwater Rush.

    Instead of dying, her soul is pulled across time to the year 209 AC, where she awakens in the body of Princess Aerea Targaryen. The true princess had just attempted to drown herself in a Godswood pool over a broken heart.

    Desperate to return to her own timeline, Elena must navigate the stifling politics of the royal court while trying to recreate the conditions of her drowning. However, her fiery modern personality and unmatched culinary skills shock her new family—and utterly captivate Prince Valarr, Aerea's cousin, who has harbored a forbidden love for the princess for years.

    As Elena experiences Aerea's prophetic "dragon dreams" predicting the doom of House Targaryen, she realizes she was brought to the past for a specific reason: to rewrite history and save the man she is slowly falling in love with.

    Summary

    At the end of the day, it's just biology.

    Penelope tells herself this endlessly. She also tells herself that Colin Bridgerton has looked right through her for ten years, that asking him to help her through her heat is purely transactional, and that she is definitely, definitely not still in love with him.

    Summary

    Lady Danbury sets her tea cup in its saucer on the table and fixes Penelope with her intense gaze.

    "I'd like to sponsor you."

    Penelope chokes on her next swig of tea so badly that Lady Danbury rises, moving next to her and patting her back until her hacking abates. Penelope takes in a few steadying breaths, willing air into her lungs. She is sure she misheard, that the shock of her choking has altered her memory. "Pardon, my lady? You wish to…?"

    "Sponsor you. For the season."


    After Archibald Featherington loses the family fortune when Penelope is thirteen, the family is forced to adapt to life as members of the lower class. By nineteen, Penelope has become Madame Delacroix's apprentice, and her fine skills with a needle catch the eye of Lady Agatha Danbury. Debuting in society thrills and terrifies her in equal measure, as she knows nothing of how a proper lady should behave, but she wants nothing more than to escape from her cruel, embittered mother—and she is perfectly content to settle for a straightforward, comfortable marriage in order to do so.

    Enter Colin Bridgerton.

    Summary

    The corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptively. “Are you?”, he wondered.

    You could only blink at him owlishly, still hung up on the thought of possibly seeing him smile… “What?”

    “Northern through and through.”

    Reason returned to you as the meaning of his words settled in. He wants to know whether you are wild , you thought to yourself. Whether you can’t be tamed.

    “I’m afraid so, your Grace”, you breathed, staring into his eyes, feeling caught in a snare.

    There was no use in lying. No matter how much you read about Targaryen history, how many Southern dances you learned or how many courtly rules you studied, you’d always yearn for the sound of the waves crashing against the shore of the Sunset Sea, for a run through the Wolf’s Wood, for the smell of salt and snow in the air.

    His head bowed slightly, eyes never leaving your face, as if he were searching for something.

    “Good”, he finally said.

    Summary

    Only when he is gone do you release the breath you have been holding, and decide – with perfect certainty – that you despise Prince Valarr Targaryen, and if the look he left you with is any indication, the feeling seems entirely mutual.

    OR

    summoned to the red keep to prove your family's loyalty a decade after the blackfyre rebellion as the lady of house peake, you only intend to survive court politics.
    becoming entangled with prince valarr targaryen was not part of the plan.
