|~1~| Eden Walseworth has finally returned to London, ready for her long-awaited reintroduction to society. On the cusp of being labeled a spinster by the ton, she's reluctantly thrust into the season by her overbearing older brother and spiteful aunt. Just as her chances of avoiding a loveless marriage appear bleak, an unexpected request for help from an old family friend presents a glimmer of hope. Seizing the opportunity to lessen her matrimonial prospects, Eden agrees-only to discover that the family in need includes none other than Benedict Bridgerton, a man with whom she has no intention of being civil. All rights of characters go to Julia Quinn (apart from the Walseworths).
