    Summary

    "Anthony Bridgerton knew he was really lucky that when the COVID lockdown started, he managed to shift to home-office and just hide away in the country with his family, as most of his siblings had. Aubrey Hall was large enough that each adult member of his family could hide in a corner of the house if necessary and the kids had space to run around and their cousins to keep them company. It was all well, or all well as you could expect in a house with 21 children, the oldest being fourteen and three of them under one.
    He could honestly say they weren’t having a very hard time during the whole pandemic thing.
    That is until they got Edwina’s call."

    __________________________________

    Anthony and Kate Briderton's family was having a relatively easy time with Lockdown. And then Mary Sharma, a nurse working in the front line of medical care, got admitted to the hospital and Kate's pregnancy test comes back positive. Anthony must find a way to hold his wife and children together as they navigate these complicated times.

    Summary

    "I'll set you up," She says, cheery and bright and sounding a thousand miles away to her own ears. "Henrietta, from work? You met her--oh, maybe even Edwina--"

    "Is that what you want, Kate?" Anthony asks, hoarsely. "You want me to bring your sister to the wedding?"

    She doesn't know why she doesn't lie, only that she can't, not to him, so she says--

    "It doesn't matter what I want."

    Summary

    But … hypothetically speaking, if she ever did decide to sneak across Mayfair and into Anthony’s bachelor lodgings to have her way with him before their wedding, she’s more or less settled on the plan that she would do so after dark, in a closed carriage and her darkest cloak, and try to brazen her way in through his front door.

    Not that she’s given it very much thought.

    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.
