🪻In the bustling world of Regency-era London, amidst the glittering balls and scandalous whispers of the ton, Arabella Darcey, daughter of a Marquis, grapples with a secret burden: misunderstood in the era's parlance. A delayed debut last season fueled Lady Whsitledown's gossip, but this season, under the sponsorship of Violet Bridgerton and the watchful eye of Anthony Bridgerton, Arabella debuts into society. Yet, she harbors another identity - as Aria, a captivating ballerina. In the throes of her struggles, she finds solace in the unexpected comfort of Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, who, despite his aversion to marriage, discovers himself irresistibly drawn to her. As Arabella navigates the intricacies of high society and the perilous secrecy of her double life, she and Simon embark on a journey where love threatens to unravel the carefully woven fabric of their worlds.
