Benedict Bridgerton falls head over heels in love with a woman he meets at Madame Delacroix. Their relationship however, is impossible to maintain, according to society's standards because Alina Kennedy is a poor seamstress and Benedict is forced to make a decision between his heart and what is 'right' according to the world he lives in.
This is loosely based on Benedict's book, "An Offer of a Gentleman' but Alina is nowhere near on the same social 'ladder' as Sophie is. I will take some creative and historical liberties because looking things up takes too much time.
