Florencia Bridgerton has always danced to her own rhythm-quite literally. While her twin sister Francesca is the picture of quiet refinement, Florencia prefers muddy boots to silk slippers, violin strings to embroidery hoops, and the thrill of the unexpected over polite predictability. With a laugh that lingers and a spirit like springtime in full bloom, she's the kind of chaos no one can quite contain. But beneath her sunshine smile lies a tangle of feelings she rarely lets slip-even to those who think they know her best.
Enter Viscount Elias Haveliegh: stoic, sharp-minded, and entirely too handsome for Florencia's peace of mind. A close friend of her brother Benedict, Elias returns to London to represent his family for the season, dragging behind him a reputation for logic, order, and a heart that-so society claims-is utterly untouched.
And yet, from the moment their paths cross, Elias seems to notice every little thing about Florencia-the things no one else ever pauses to see. She's chaos in bloom. He's the calm before the storm. And somewhere between stolen glances, late-night conversations, and a ballroom encounter that shifts everything, the two begin to unravel the very rules they've both lived by.
As secrets stir and sparks fly, one invitation might just lead to the most surprising romance of the season-and perhaps, something far deeper.
A tale of wild hearts, unspoken truths, and the quiet magic of being truly seen
*They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.*
...........
Serena Carter was just trying to live-trying to find peace in the mess that was her life. But one accident changed everything.
Abandoned. Alone. She was sent to live with the Morettis-four brothers and a father who wanted nothing to do with her. She was the reminder of their mother's biggest betrayal, the stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she had to survive before she turned eighteen and walked away for good. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Because the Morettis might have convinced themselves they hated her, but hate was a tricky thing-it turned into obsession, into protectiveness, into something none of them were ready for. They thought they knew her, thought she was just a mistake that could be ignored.
They had no idea.
Because Serena had secrets-ones even she didn't fully understand. And in a world where power was everything, she was about to become the most dangerous piece on the board.
She wasn't just a mistake. She was a Moretti.
