Summary
Ilya and Shane soulbond with a handshake in a freezing parking lot in Saskatchewan. It actually doesn’t change very much, until Shane’s concussion drives everything haywire, forcing them into close proximity and an earlier confrontation with all the feelings they’ve been trying to ignore.
Or: as it turns out, it’s easier than you’d think to be in someone’s head and still not know how they feel.

Summary
“You do know my birthday is tomorrow, right?” Benedict says.
Anthony rolls his eyes. “If I could forget. I think eighteen years ago was my last day of peace before I was forced to have an annoying little brother.”
“Oh, you love me.”
"I do."
Benedict jerks upright. “What?”
“I love you,” Anthony says levelly, "and happy early birthday.”
“I appreciate the sentiment, Ant, but I didn’t know you were someone who got sappy.”
Anthony swallows, deliberating what to say. When his father told him he intended to start a tradition, did he mean just with Anthony? Or did he mean with all eight of his children? If Anthony admits that this was their father’s doing, that this was their father’s idea all along, would it ruin whatever festive mood he tried to create? Or if he said nothing, would it be improper, as if he was taking credit for something Edmund invented all on his own?

Summary
He stares at her for a moment, the ghost of his laughter clinging to his lips. His full, rose-pink lips. And then he opens them, and out comes the sweetest honey. “May I have the next dance, Miss Sharma?” Kate’s mouth drops, and she feels a flush zip up her spine. Never mind that she really, truly does want to dance with this stranger, wants to feel those arms brush against her, his hands around her own, have him smile at her.
“What makes you think I would accept the offer from a rake as such as yourself?”
He tucks his chin to his chest, and the way his grin makes her heart thump is really, terribly, unfortunate.
“I assure you, Miss Sharma, any liberties shared with my sister are not as cunning or as evil as you are imagining, and what with my mother out hunting her this very moment, I believe there are bigger issues to worry ourselves over for Eloise's sake.” He finishes, leaning slightly in, “wouldn’t you agree?”
***
Anthony arrives to the season a little later than expected, and Kate finds herself charmed by a pleasing smile, what chance did they have? Anthony isn't looking for a wife, but may have accidentally found one, anyway.

Benedict Bridgerton asks Kate Sheffield to be his girlfriend for two weeks to:
1) get his mother off his back for a while
2) keep his family satisfied until he tells them that he's gayKate agrees, not expecting his brother Anthony to be the guy who tried to date her sister Edwina two years ago; the guy she spent weeks arguing with, might or might not have found attractive, and whose presence in Aubrey Hall might be the biggest challenge in maintaining their little ruse.
(Apart from the fact, of course, that Benedict and Kate are the Worst Actors They Know).
