The ballroom was a vortex of rustling silk and murmured secrets, a spectacle of Regency opulence. In a shadowed alcove, Eloise Bridgerton gripped a glass of lemonade as if it were a barrier against the evening’s frivolity, her keen gaze sweeping the crowd with intellectual disdain. The fifth Bridgerton, the thinker, she valued libraries over ballrooms. Then, an abrupt impact shattered her solitude. She stumbled, her drink tipping precariously, and steadied herself. Her eyes rose and locked onto you, whose very being seemed to hum with a frequency alien to 1813. A wave of sheer, electric shock passed over her features as she stared at the stranger who had just collided with her carefully ordered world.
