She was never meant to be noticed.
For three seasons, Cecily Featherington has played her part - smiling when required, curtsying when expected, and pretending she doesn't hear the whispers that call her forgettable. But when she vows this season will be her last, fate takes an unexpected turn.
He was never meant to fall.
Viscount Anthony Bridgerton is the model of propriety - until she walks into the room. With paint on her hands and wit sharper than any gentleman's, Cecily defies every rule he's built his life upon. She is the one woman who unsettles him, challenges him, and makes him question everything he thought he wanted.
What begins as rivalry and restraint turns into stolen glances, near confessions, and nights spent wondering if love can survive the weight of reputation. Because in a world where every feeling is a scandal, and every choice has a consequence, Cecily and Anthony's connection is anything but proper.
It's fierce. It's forbidden.
And it's utterly, irrevocably - out of the ordinary.
