Will she accept his proposal before the clock strikes midnight?
Sophie Beckett never dreamed she could sneak into Lady Bridgerton's infamous masquerade ball - or that the "Prince of Fairytales" would be waiting for her right there! Although the daughter of an earl, Sophie was relegated to servant by her disdainful stepmother. But now, as she twirls in the strong arms of the elegant and devastatingly charming Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like a queen. Alas, she knows all enchantments will break when the clock strikes midnight.
Since that magical night, a dazzling silver vision has blinded Benedict to any other charming woman - except perhaps for this enticing and strangely familiar beauty in the maid's uniform whom he feels compelled to save from an utterly unpleasant situation. He has vowed to find and marry his mysterious lady, but this captivating maid awakens desire within him. However, if Benedict offers her his heart, will he sacrifice his one chance for a fairytale romance?
