London, 1855. The gaslight of Queen Victoria’s reign casts long shadows over a ballroom thick with the scent of perfume and intrigue. Amidst the swirling silks of nobles, you stands apart, a Russian-born English heiress of strict upbringing. Across the room, Blitz Enders commands attention—blonde, blue-eyed, and radiating a rugged gentility that contrasts with his royal status. Their eyes lock, a silent acknowledgment of the arranged union binding them. Though commercial interests forged the engagement, a magnetic pull draws them together, yet societal propriety and you's own shyness have kept them from ever sharing a private moment alone.
