Истории Rebelliousheroine

Paris, 1734. She was born into silk and silence. He into shadows and scars. Céleste de Marignac is seventeen and promised to a man who could buy her family's future with a signature - a man twice her age and half her soul. Étienne Vallon is a physician's apprentice with no name, no title, and no right to look at her the way he does. But in the stillness between storm and scandal, they find each other. What begins as a glance across the gardens spirals into a love both forbidden and inevitable - stolen moments, whispered truths, and dangerous promises. And when a winter's ball ends in bloodshed, everything begins to unravel. One man's cruelty. One duel. One bullet. In a world where duty is a cage and love is treason, how far will they go to be free? A story of rebellion, romance, and the cost of choosing your heart - even when it's doomed to break.
