Dearest Gentle Reader, This author has seen many a debutante take her first trembling steps into society, but rarely has there been a case quite so curious as that of Lady Flora Bridgerton. The twin sister of this season's Diamond, one might assume that Lady Flora would be content to stand beside her sister, a mere reflection of her brilliance. Yet, how mistaken one would be. For while the elder Miss Bridgerton captivates with her grace and refinement, Lady Flora has a talent of her own-one that involves far more laughter, far more mischief, and far more unexpected entanglements with a certain Duke. Yes, dear reader, you have read correctly. Sebastian Ashbourne, the fearsome and notoriously unapproachable Duke of Ashbourne, has been seen in close company with Lady Flora far more often than society would expect. And what a deliciously peculiar pairing they make. The Duke-silent, brooding, and immune to frivolity. And Lady Flora-light, warmth, and laughter itself. One might wonder: what could such a man want with such a woman? Or, perhaps more intriguingly-what could such a woman see in such a man? No matter the answer, one thing is certain. His smile is a rare thing indeed... and yet, it seems, it belongs to her. And as every reader knows, even the most unyielding of hearts can be undone. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown
