    Summary

    Slowly, carefully, the gentleman pulls out a gold pocket watch and lays it down on the work-table. All his urgency seems to drain away as he looks forlornly down at the old, slightly battered thing.

    “It’s broken,” he says quietly.

    He sounds like that too. Broken.

    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton would be a perfect example of the term "nepo baby" if he weren't so talented. However, Kate Sharma believes he has as much talent as a nightstand.
    They disliked each other from the moment they met, and off-camera they’re practically ready to kill each other. When their arguments become Lady Whistledown's favourite gossip on her anonymous TikTok account, the producers assure them that the best way to promote the series is for them to pretend to be in a relationship.

    Summary

    After being told she might become the next CEO of the company she works for, Kate, in a moment of panic, lies to one of the board members that she is in a serious, long-term relationship to improve her chances at securing the promotion. When she confesses her problem to her best friend, Tom, he suggests a rather unorthodox solution - hiring Anthony, a man he went to university with, and who is now working as a professional escort.

    But what starts out as a typical business transaction quickly turns into something else entirely, as the lines between Anthony and his client begin to blur.
