is the third novel of the Bridgerton series, by Julia Quinn. The story follows the love story of Benedict Bridgerton, the second Bridgerton child.
Sophie Beckett never dreamed she’d be able to sneak into Lady Bridgerton’s famed masquerade ball—or that “Prince Charming” would be waiting there for her! Though the daughter of an earl, Sophie has been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight.
Ever since that magical night, a radiant vision in silver has blinded Benedict to the attractions of any other—except, perhaps this alluring and oddly familiar beauty dressed in housemaid’s garb whom he feels compelled to rescue from a most disagreeable situation. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Yet, if he offers his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love?
Prologue
Sophie Beckett always knew she was a bastard; she’s the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Penwood. When she was three years old, she was dropped off at her father's estate in the country by her dying grandmother. The Earl told everyone she was the orphaned daughter of a friend who he’d taken in as his ward, even though it was quite obvious that she was his child. Though everyone knew the truth, no one dared say it. When Sophie was ten, the Earl married a woman named Araminta Reiling, who had two young daughters Sophie's age, Rosamund and Posy. Sophie was excited to finally have sisters and a family around. However, Araminta bitterly told Sophie that she knew she was the earl’s bastard and that she refused to accept Sophie. Araminta told her to stay far away from her and her daughters unless they were in lessons together. Rosamund used to mercilessly find ways to abuse Sophie, but Posy was reluctant to do so.
When Sophie was fourteen, the Earl suddenly died. After it was confirmed that Araminta wasn’t pregnant, the Earl’s distant relative inherited the estate. In the late earl’s will, he set aside dowries for Rosamund, Posy, and Sophie. He also stated that Araminta would receive 2,000 pounds per year, but if she agreed to keep Sophie in her house till she turned 20, she would receive 6,000 pounds per year. Not willing to lose the extra income, Araminta agreed to let Sophie stay. But when she did, she purposely left out some information.
