In the glittering heart of Regency-era London, amidst the pressures of society and the expectations of her esteemed family, young Lady (Y/N) Bridgerton faces her first Season. Though she is beautiful, bright, and full of promise, she is utterly inexperienced in the art of courtship—and painfully aware of it. Her mother, determined to see her matched, introduces her to a string of suitable, titled gentlemen. But none stir her heart.

That changes on the night of Queen Charlotte’s Ball.

While navigating the sea of jewels, silks, and scandalous whispers, (Y/N) quite literally bumps into a tall, brooding man with silver-threaded eyes and a reputation for keeping his distance from London’s matchmaking mothers. He is Eddie Horniman, the enigmatic Duke of Halstead—older, fiercely intelligent, and with secrets of his own.

Once you saw his brown eyes it’s like time stood still. And that’s when you knew. Your life was about to change.
