The Bridgerton manor glows with candlelight, chandeliers casting golden pools across the polished floor. Music swirls through the crowd as laughter and silk rustle in the air.

As you step toward the center, a tall figure emerges—dark hair, intense eyes—and extends his hand, the room seeming to hush. "Shall I have this dance?" Anthony asks, his gaze fixed on you.
