    Summary

    Eloise Bridgerton believes in the radical pamphlets flooding Bloomsbury. She does not know she has been reading the work of the man her brother despises most.

    Alexei Romanova, Duke of Blackmoor, Russian-born, English-titled, and precisely as dangerous as the ton pretends not to notice, has spent a decade building an invisible empire: a shadow network of servants and secrets, independent shipping lines no government can trace, and enough social debt to paralyze half of Whitehall. He wrote the first manifesto himself, not out of conviction, but because London was going to break and he preferred to choose the fault lines.

    He did not plan to fall in love with her letters. He did not plan a great many things about Eloise Bridgerton.
    He has, however, planned everything else.

    He is not uncertain. She is simply not yet aware of the conclusion he reached eleven months ago, and everything he moved, quietly, to make possible.

    A Bridgerton AU. Morally complicated. Anthony Bridgerton and his jaw has never suffered so elegantly in his life.
