Eloise Bridgerton has always scoffed at the idea of marriage, preferring wit over courtship and independence over obligation. But at yet another tedious ball, she crosses paths with the enigmatic Duke Nathaniel Harrington-a wealthy landowner with a sharp mind and a reluctance for the social games of the ton.
Their banter is immediate, their attraction undeniable, yet neither is willing to admit it. As they navigate a season filled with matchmaking mamas, whispered gossip and unexpected moments of genuine connection, Eloise begins to wonder: could there be a man who values her sharp tongue rather than tolerates it? And could that man-against all her expectations-be a duke?

One particular night, Sophia finds herself chased by the cops, and ends up in the Bridgerton's garden, where she runs headfirst into a green-eyed gentleman.

Yours truly, **Lady Whistledown's Society Papers** ~ The Earl's daughters are opposites in every regard. Lady Marie, the younger, is softness and sweetness itself, earning the coveted title of Diamond of the Season.

With their father quietly pressing for a match to secure his own hidden interests, what begins as a season of promise soon becomes a matter of urgency. And when fate intervenes, it is not the sister meant to be chosen who must secure a husband before the final dance.
