👑🔥 EXPOSED AT THE BALL FOR HER FORGED INVITATION—UNTIL THE MOST CHARMING DUKE IN EUROPE TOOK HER HAND AND WHISPERED, "I AM YOUR ESCORT."

Beatrice Ashford, 25, has been invisible to London society for two years—ever since her father's scandalous business failure left her penniless. Working as a botanical illustrator just to survive, she's resigned herself to a life on the margins of the glittering world she once knew.
Then a mysterious forged invitation arrives.
Knowing it's likely a trap, but desperate for one night of beauty before accepting her fate, Beatrice crashes the season's most exclusive ball. When her forgery is exposed before hundreds of society's elite, public humiliation seems inevitable.
Until Maximilian Rutherford, Duke of Ashbourne—Europe's most eligible and feared bachelor—steps through the crowd, extends his hand, and claims her as his guest with five words that change everything: "I am your escort."
What begins as an impulsive rescue becomes a dangerous courtship. Maximilian, bound by duty to marry for political advantage, finds himself drawn to Beatrice's intelligence and refusal to play society's games. Beatrice, certain this can only end in heartbreak, discovers she's tired of being invisible—even if visibility means risking everything.
But Lady Arabella Thornfield, the woman everyone expected Maximilian to marry, won't surrender without a fight. As their unconventional romance faces scandal, political pressure, and social warfare, Beatrice and Maximilian must decide: Will they bow to society's expectations, or forge their own path together?
A sweeping Victorian romance about courage, authenticity, and the transformative power of choosing love over convenience.
