London's most anticipated season has arrived, and everyone has their eyes on the newly inherited Duke of Ashford. As head of one of the ton's most powerful families, Jake Ashford knows exactly what is expected of him: choose a respectable wife, secure his family's future, and protect the Ashford name. Lady Isabelle Dumont seems like the perfect choice. Then there's Y/N. She has no interest in impressing a Duke—and Jake has no idea what to make of a woman who refuses to be impressed by him. Between lavish balls, whispered secrets, unexpected friendships, and an anonymous writer determined to expose the ton's every scandal, this season may become far more interesting than anyone anticipated. Because in London's high society, reputation is everything. And falling for the wrong person could be the greatest scandal of all.

@sophia73929The London season had officially begun. The first ball of the year filled the Ashford estate with music, candlelight, and the glittering presence of half the ton. Young ladies smiled behind their fans while mothers whispered about suitable matches. Gentlemen exchanged pleasantries and secrets in equal measure.
