Anthony Bridgerton has no intention of falling in love. As Viscount, duty comes first, and marriage is a matter of practicality rather than passion. That is, until a masked stranger at a masquerade turns his carefully ordered world upside down. Enchanted by a woman whose wit matches his own and whose identity remains a mystery, Anthony becomes determined to find her. However, the answer may be closer than he thinks. Y/N has spent years challenging his pride and questioning his rigid ideas, earning his disapproval at every turn. He has never considered her a suitable match… until he begins to suspect she is the very woman he cannot forget. As Y/N leads him through a season of tantalizing clues and maddening encounters, Anthony must confront the possibility that he has misunderstood her entirely. In a world where reputation is everything and love is rarely simple, the greatest mystery may be whether he can learn to see the lady behind the mask and convince her that the man beneath his own is worth loving.
