PROLOGUE
We all are well aware of the seven Bridgerton siblings — Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth. All seven of them are beloved by the ton. Why won't they? They all come from a respectable family and most importantly money. Everyone wants to grab a Bridgerton. The ton seems to know almost everything going on in that family, all thanks to Lady Whistledown. But no one knows the one family secret — the one about the eldest Bridgerton, the first daughter of Violet and Edward Bridgerton and Anthony's elder twin — Antoinette Bridgerton. No one knows what happened the night the twins were born. All they knew was that she was there that night beside her mother, but she was nowhere to be found the next morning. The Bridgertons gave their blood and soul to find little Antoinette, but they reluctantly gave up when they couldn't find her even after three years of rigorous searching. Soon, they were blessed with a second son, then a third and then a daughter and then another daughter till there were six of them. Then came Edward's death and the last of the Bridgerton, Hyacinth. But no one replaced the hollow gap of Antoinette.
31 years later, on Anthony's 31st birthday, they all gathered to celebrate their birthday and the three-month anniversary of Kate and Anthony, when a bright light engulfed the room and brought them 200 years later, to their daughter.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
— Hello, everyone reading this. Do I have any idea what I am doing? No. Will I be doing it anyway? Yes. This idea popped out in my head out of nowhere, now it won't leave me alone. So here I am writing this.
— This is my first book and English is not my first language. So, there will be mistakes. I hope you all will help me correct them. Criticize me, tell me where I can improve. Don't hate or bully me (or anyone). If you do not like the idea of this book, get out right now.
— I only own my part of the plot. The characters and plot of MCU belong to Stan Lee and that of Bridgerton belongs to Julia Quinn.
— Don't plagiarise my part of the work. If you want to use something from this book, DM me, and we will talk and sort it out.
— These people come from the Regency era. Misogyny and homophobia will be unfortunately there. I don't support or entertain any form of hate and bigotry so those comments will be deleted.
— MCU characters are from post-Homecoming time and the Avengers are still divorced. There will be Steve bashing for what he did in CW. Wanda and Pietro are team Ironman in this book. And there will also be changes in their characters.
— Bridgerton characters are here to chill and hang out. They are from the timeline after S2. I added Kate, cuz I love her.
— Thank you for giving this book a chance and I hope to see you till the end. Vote, comment and share.
