Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐘𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄 selalu dikuasai amarah dan adiksi mematikannya sendiri, hingga sebuah peristiwa membangkitkan sisi tergelapnya. Kini, Robyn Haze keluar untuk membalas dendam. * * * [THE CHAOS TRILOGY: BOOK I] Kekacauan itu bermula di Dewick: sebuah kota dosa di mana segala hal dapat terjadi. Kriminalitas selalu mewarnai jalan-jalan suramnya, namun Robyn Haze tak menyangka kalau korban dari bengkoknya keamanan di kota itu adalah ibunya sendiri; ditembak oleh pelaku yang sangat amat ia kenal, di tengah jalan terbuka pada tengah malam. Bagi Robyn, itu hanya berarti satu hal: nyawa dibayar nyawa. Pembalasan dendam seakan menjadi satu-satunya jalan, bahkan obsesi baginya. Tatkala ia menyadari moralitas yang ia punya perlahan tercabik karena hal itu, Robyn sudah terlampau jauh tersesat. Bersama Alder Nichols, kolumnis amatir surat kabar, Robyn berusaha menuntaskan apa yang sudah ia mulai... dan semua itu diawali dengan perjalanan panjang yang membuat ia dijejali manis-pahitnya kebenaran. Segala hal menjadi berputar tak tentu arah ketika perlahan rahasia-rahasia di masa lalu Robyn terkuak. Di tengah semua duka, rasa sepi, dan hiruk-pikuk pendosa, apa yang dapat ia harapkan? Apa yang dapat ia terima dari jalan-jalan kelam dan mobil yang melaju dengan pelan? Kekacauan. 𝕮𝐇𝐀𝐎𝐒 𝐏𝐄𝐌 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈 | © 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐃. ─⋅⥉⤉⋅─
