"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
That's what Jane Austen said, right?
Well, I suppose that was the case for most during the regency era. That was certainly the case for one, Mr. Kingsley. Third son of the duke, in need of a wife and, more importantly, a sister-in-law for his very impatient twin sister.
It shouldn't be a hard task right? Twenty counties. Twenty lords but only twelve that have daughters. Of those twelve only five are showcased... or so he thought...
Laleigh Green did not make it onto his list. A feminist, young woman, she sought no husband and was perfectly happy being her father's lady of the house. She lost her mother when she was thirteen and becoming lady of the house at such a young age turned her rather independent fairly quickly. A little too independent if you asked some.... So if you asked her, her opinion on the handsome young gentlemen staying on her father's estate, she would've dismissed the hint of romance, and said he was nice and mannerly. However, there seemed something about him that drew her closer, and soon, even her father and brother were pushing for a courtship. Who knows, is the independent young Lady Laleigh Elizabeth Green willing to accept a romance? She certainly likes to read about them.
***Disclaimer: I'm assuming if you read this then you've watched Bridgerton. I have not... so forgive me if i make a mistake... Also, this is a magical romance, with werewolves, witches, and whatnot... sorry not sorry, I love them both...***

The Regency Era in the Muggle World is not much different from the Magical World when it came to the busy time of what is called "The Social Season."
Three people intertwined since their school days have become strangers to one another as soon as they stepped into the real world. As they joined society. And just as they thought they could navigate the real world without hardship, reality bites... love bites harder.
CARINA BLACK has failed to be successful in her first two seasons. Though a life of a spinster is years away but to prolong her time at the marriage market would cause trouble to her and to her family. Given the title as the "Diamond of the Season" on her first year, it is expected that Carina would already be married with children, but it was quite the opposite, maybe it is her family history that intimidates them? But who could ever say no to a Black? Maybe pride of losing their name? Or maybe it is because of her uncertainty, the longing of the return of a lost love?
ROMAN ALSTON is the eldest son of the second born son, which meant his life is just as important as any second-born-son. But even with the freedom he has he was still entrapped, and there was no way out for him... unless he leaves, which he can never do.
THEODORE NOTT is no romantic, but he is heartbroken. Torn between two clashing things that would never go along, his heart and his mind. After years of listening to his mind, causing himself with so much pain, he gives into his heart's desire and comes home to see the very woman he has been in love with for the past five years and to finally give his goodbye, for her sake and his... if only that were the case.
