Lady Quinn // Benedict Bridgerton

"You can't marry him, Dor." His hands cupped her warm face, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I don't have a choice, Ben." He felt hot tears under his fingers, as she closed her eyes, and soft eyelashes rested on his thumbs. He felt his throat burn, seeing her like this. She was forced into the marriage. It all made sense now. She fought to catch breath, and Benedict felt his heart falling apart in his chest. "It's all my fault."
"No. It's our fault. But I'm the girl. That was my only mistake, being a woman in a world where all the mistakes are harmless, if you are a man."

Dorothy is the third daughter of Lord and Lady Quinn. She made her debut three seasons ago, despite her resentment. Luckily for her, she had no luck in securing a bachelor. This season, however, things are about to change... When her mama finds out Dorothy lost her chastity and refuses to admit whom with, she is forced to marry Lord Haddington, a man twice her age.
