Sophie Beckett never dreamed she'd be able to sneak into
Lady Bridgerton's famed masquerade ball -- or that "Prince
Charming" would be waiting there for her! Though the
daughter of an earl, Sophie has been relegated to the role
of servant by her disdainful stepmother. But now, spinning
in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly
handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Alas,
she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes
midnight.
Who was that extraordinary woman?
Ever since that magical night, a radiant vision in silver
has blinded Benedict to the attractions of any other --
except, perhaps, this alluring and oddly familiar beauty
dressed in housemaid's garb whom he feels compelled to
rescue from a most disagreeable situation. He has sworn to
find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid
makes him weak with wanting her. Yet, if he offers her his
heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy
tale love?
