The carriage is too small.
The air is too thick.
And Colin Bridgerton is far too aware of how close she is.
Lady Amara Sterling sits across from him, hands folded neatly in her lap, her composure flawless-despite the echo of another man's name still ringing in his ears. He watched her dance. Watched her smile. Watched them look at her as though she were something to be won.
And now she is here. With him. Alone.
Every jolt of the carriage tightens the tension between them, each stolen glance unraveling the restraint Colin has clung to all season. Jealousy burns hot and reckless in his chest, spilling out in sharp words he never meant to speak... and confessions he never planned to make.
Because watching other men court her is unbearable.
Because pretending he does not care is worse.
Because some loves are too quiet for society-but far too loud to ignore.
One carriage.
One truth on the verge of being spoken.
And a line that, once crossed, can never be undone.
A Bridgerton season 3 inspired romance.
