    Summary

    "Shouldn’t you be ensnaring some hapless lord into an ill-fated proposal?"

    Cressida narrowed her eyes, but there was a flicker of amusement behind them. "Perhaps I wanted a moment to myself. Even the most perfect of debutantes require a reprieve from their adoring public."

    "Perfect? Is that what you think you are?" Eloise said, leaning on the marble pillar beside her.

    "It’s what I must be," Cressida replied, her voice quieter now, almost as though she was speaking more to herself than to Eloise. "Perfection is the only thing society rewards. And anything less… well, it’s unforgivable, isn’t it?"

    Eloise blinked, caught off guard by the sudden vulnerability in her tone. She opened her mouth to respond but closed it again, unsure of what to say.

    Summary

    “You seem to know exactly what to do with me—make me the subject of your witticisms and hope I’ll be too slow-witted to notice.”

    A spark of irritation flared in Cressida’s eyes, but she hid it behind a delicate laugh. “I’m merely being friendly, Miss Bridgerton. It’s not my fault if you mistake kindness for sport.”

    “Of course,” Eloise replied, her tone light but her eyes sharp. “And I suppose it’s not your fault either that your kindness always comes at someone else’s expense.”

    Cressida’s smile tightened, and for a moment, they stood in a standoff, a silent battle waged in the language of polite society. Eloise felt a thrill of victory, but she knew better than to let her guard down. Cressida was as much a predator as she was a peacock, and Eloise had no intention of becoming her next meal.

    Summary

    Her eyes were caught by a magnificent straw blonde colored hair – shining with sunlight as the lean figure rested against the trunk of the tree. The figure was turned away, wearing a white thin summer dress that would surely be inappropriate if they were not secluded.

    It certainly took her breath away.

    Summary

    “I can’t believe that you truly assumed you bedding—”

    “Kissing!” Eloise interjected, hardly able to hide her blush.

    “—kissing Cressida Cowper was going to somehow break the spell.” Benedict took a drag of the cigarette, rolling his eyes, “It is so like you to think you’ve found the answer and then to act hastily like you’re God’s own servant on earth and everything you do has some type of higher importance.”

    Eloise smirked, “Did we not just establish that I am the sole person experiencing an otherworldly phenomenon? I think that entitles me to believe that my actions are important.”

    OR

    Eloise keeps living the same day—the day of Colin and Penelope’s engagement party—over and over again. Breaking the chain feels impossible, but Eloise knows returning to normalcy involves at least two things: making peace with Penelope, and finally figuring out how to accept a part of herself she’d long hidden away… the part of herself that longs for one Cressida Cowper.
