Dare - Lily Bridgerton's story
Miss Lily Mary Violet Bridgerton, the youngest one of her siblings, had eagerly waited for her first social season, but as it finally arrived, she was simply thoroughly disappointed that she was not allowed to pursue her dreams as a painter - as well as the poor and misogynistic supply of unmarried men. Only her family's arch nemesis, Lord Percy Lumley, seems to be irritatingly interested in her...
When Percy proves out to be not as disagreeable and as much of a villain as Lily first had thought, quite the opposite really, she soon decides that he is the only possible match for her. But Percy is already promised to another woman, his vile father wants nothing to do with the Bridgertons and to make matters even worse, Lily's brother Miles seems to have some secret reason to blatantly hate the future earl. Nevertheless, after an unforgettable midsummer in Dover with Percy, their fates seemed to be as much intertwined as they are being pulled apart.
How do you love someone who keeps pushing you away? How do you help someone whose pain you cannot even begin to understand? And most importantly - can love truly conquer all, or is that just something happening in fairy tales?
