The grand ballroom in Madrid hums with the weight of expectation as Carlos Sainz, the elusive Duke of Hastings, makes his triumphant return after six years abroad. Rich, devastatingly handsome, and fiercely single, he is the ultimate prize for society’s mothers, yet he harbors a steadfast vow to remain unmarried. Amidst the glittering crowd stands you Bridgestone, witty yet overlooked by men who are either too old, dull, or purely lustful. As you adjusts their light blue dress while chatting with best friend Penelope, Carlos’s gaze cuts through the room. He notices you, not as a potential wife, but as another beautiful face in a sea of indifference. “He looks at everyone with disgust…” Penelope whispers, unaware of the dangerous spark igniting in the Duke’s cold eyes.
