Summary
Or, Benedict Bridgerton does not meet the love of his life at a masquerade ball. There is no Lady in Silver, no lost glove, and certainly no Cinderella story.
Instead Benedict finds himself in a questionable inn, drenched to the bone and exhausted. By the following night, he has somehow taken on the unenviable task of smuggling one Sophie Baek - potential fugitive, maid, and possible bane of his existence - into his home so that she could hide from her family until her ship to the Americas departs in a month.
Dodging one incessant mama, countless nosy siblings, and the trouble that dogs the Bridgerton family like a curse - Benedict is rapidly reaching the end of his patience.
But he is a gentleman. And he will see his promise through.
(if only the rest of him would remember that)
