master of none | eloise bridgerton

Genevieve "Gennie" Akhenaten has never fit neatly into the world carved out for her.

Born to a respected noble family in Egypt, she has spent her life slipping between expectations, too curious for court, too outspoken for polite society, too uninterested in the future her father insists she must secure. With her debut season approaching, she and her older brother are sent to London, where the ton is already buzzing about the exotic newcomer who refuses to play by their rules.

With her debut into London society fast approaching, her father sends her and her brother across continents with one clear goal: return home with a respectable husband and a secured legacy.

But Gennie has never believed in such futures.

She has never dreamed of ballrooms or proposals. Never longed for rings or romantic gestures from men she barely knows. In truth, she decided long ago that she had no need for a suitor at all.

Until she meets a Bridgerton.

One unexpected conversation at a debutante ball turns into stolen glances, secret letters, and feelings neither of them was prepared for. Suddenly, Gennie is forced to reconsider everything she thought she knew about love, duty, and herself.

Because perhaps she never hated the idea of a suitor.

Only the idea of the wrong one.
