"You can't scare away every man who shows up at my door!" "I can damn well try." He kept his tone quiet as he stepped closer to her. "You have no idea of the grip you have on me Hanford and I'll be damned if you fall in love with someone who isn't me." Aurora Hanford was just hoping for the best outcome for her debut season. She didn't account for Benjamin Bridgerton to make a mess out of her life with little to no words. He presented himself in her life very prominently and the girl quickly grew fond of his watchful gaze and hushed words. Aurora found herself falling for the brooding man and he realized he was falling just as deeply. Neither expected their love to form as something more or to blossom as it quickly did. Their love was a fairytale in a world where true love unions were extremely rare. They had their naysayers, their supporters, but most importantly they had each other. Even if in the beginning, neither knew it just yet. FEM! OC x MALE! BRIDGERTON OC
