Summary
To be one of many siblings has always been a comfort to Guinevere Bedwyn. She's the calm in the storm, the one who minds her manners, holds her tongue, and plays the part of the proper lady, if only so her brothers and sisters don't have to. Her family is everything, and she would never be alone for as long as she had them.
Being one of many meant to Benedict Bridgerton not knowing who he was. To him, it feels more like being lost in a crowd. His older brother is the head of the family, his younger siblings are free to be whoever they please, while Benedict is simply the second son. Always there, always smiling, always unsure of who he's meant to be. He wants something more, he wants to be something more.
They come from similar places and yet two different world views: hers built on duty, his on restless dreams. She finds purpose in her place while he aches to escape his. But when their paths cross during one fateful Season, they begin to discover that perhaps all they needed was each other, to finally find themselves.
Not every love story begins with thunder and lightning.
Some start with a painting, a shared glance... and a feeling that refuses to leave.
