Summary
If Bertha could bottle it, she would: the heart-pounding exhileration of standing on the ice bowing to raucous applause; how George pulls her into his arms like they're two magnets; the smell of him, slightly sweaty but oh-so-familiar; and the feeling of his heart against her chest, beating in time with hers, until the adrenaline fades and they come slowly unstuck. They're on the top of their game, and definitely on the top of the World standings, and no one, the fans say, is doing ice dance chemistry like them.
It helps that Bertha is irrevocably, hopelessly, immutably in love with George.

Summary
Kate Sharma came to England to secure her sister a match. Anthony Bridgerton came – indiscreetly, and rather often – in his breeches.
The scenes of this tale are the same as the ones we already know, with one slight aberration: in the presence of Kate Sharma, Anthony Bridgerton always has an unfortunate erection.

Summary
In the aftermath of the Newport ball, there are still many things that George finds untenable about his wife. But the only thing relevant right now is that Bertha is halfway across the city, intending to see her indisposition through without him. That she is going into heat and she did not send for him.
That is untenable.

Summary
She doesn’t like parties without George at her side to murmur sharp little asides to, or bring her champagne, or dance with her when the song is slow enough. She doesn't like parties where everyone looks at her like she's a three-legged puppy because her husband- her ex-husband- stays glued to the opposite side of the room as though she's got a forcefield around her.
In which Bertha and George are divorced, and make it everyone else's problem.

Summary
It isn't a decision George has taken lightly. In fact, when it had first occurred to him, he'd brushed the thought away, trying to bury it. But the tendrils of the idea kept creeping through and, before he knew it, had firmly taken root ‘til he couldn't ignore it any longer; he's made a mistake which must be fixed.
He's forty-three, rich as Croesus, and he's been so busy getting richer for the last twenty years that he quite forgot to get married. Something that he intends to rectify as soon as possible.
