Summary
He lowered his voice. “You are the most capable and intelligent person I have yet to meet. You make all of us look like fools.”
Her mouth opened in surprise before she quickly hid her feelings again. “Even you, my lord?”
She was smiling, clearly expecting an argument, but Anthony did not want her to think he took this lightly. He needed to correct her thinking. She needed to know that his initial promises were changing. Even if she did not reciprocate, he valued their honest rapport.
“You have made me the biggest fool, I think. For I thought I could pursue this courtship without any affection or strong feelings. Yet, it is impossible for me to feel nothing when I am with you.”
************
Anthony decides that Kate is the only woman fit to be Viscountess Bridgerton and catches feelings along the way. Fortunately, so does Kate.

Summary
“I never could admit anything except desire because I knew that once I acknowledged any other feeling, it would all come rushing in,” he says. “But Kate, from the first moment I met you, it has not just been desire. I am in awe of you and everything that you are. You are the strongest person I’ve ever met. You make me laugh. You are so compassionate and caring. You make me feel alive, Kate.”
“Kathani,” she says suddenly, touched beyond measure at the way he sees her. She has felt invisible for so long. “That’s my real name.”
He blinks, and then he grins at her, the biggest smile she’s seen on him yet, and she’s shocked that she did that. She’s the one who made him happy like that. She wants to make him happy like this forever.
And then she realizes – she can. Finally, she can.
...
Or, Kate and Anthony in the gazebo: they kiss, they talk, we swoon, etc.

Summary
"Look, Ben is who Ben is. But I'm not really like him. I don't…"
"Sleep around?" she prompted. "So you're like, super monogamous? Or already committed?"
"No. I mean, yes. But no. It's…" Christ, he'd never get it out at this rate. He took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger. "I don't sleep around. I haven't slept with anyone."
She looked even more confused, and then understanding dawned in her eyes. "Oh," Kate said softly.

Summary
Anthony learns to share his library with his viscountess.
He stopped, gaped. Could she not see his papers, his goose quills and silver inkwell, his blotter and seal, his cooling coffee?
"That is my chair," he said.
She did not look up. "Evidently not."
"What? Clearly, that is my chair."
Kate marked her page with a finger and closed the book around it, eyes rolling briefly towards the heavens. "I think it suits me rather better as I am actually using it." She looked up at him under her long lashes in a way that stopped his thoughts cold.
"But I—"
"Have you forgotten your marriage vows so quickly, when you endowed me with all your worldly goods?"

Summary
Was this what he was reduced to now, so starved for her presence that he would invent any excuse to delay her departure, even if for merely seconds? He had asked for this, had wished for this - a courteous marriage, after all, was a safe marriage. And yet here he was, nothing but a lonely fool; Midas, weeping in a room of gold, beautiful, still, untouchable.
or: Kate and Anthony get married for what they tell themselves is duty’s sake. They still manage to break their own hearts.
(a marriage of convenience AU)
