   Summary

   Intoxicated by a false sense of freedom, Benedict Bridgerton meets a servant girl whose life becomes entangled with his in ways he could never have expected.

   And when he later encounters a mysterious lady at a masquerade ball, only to discover that she is the very same girl, he is forced to ask himself the one question he has asked so many times before:

   What on earth has he got himself into this time?

   After all, love is not simple when one of them is a gentleman and the other is meant to disappear into the walls. As gossip sharpens, family duty closes in, and Sophie’s past threatens to ruin what little safety she has left, Benedict must decide whether his love is only a beautiful feeling, or something strong enough to cost him everything.
