The Plumed Bonnet

Description

When a chance encounter with the powerful Duke of Bridgewater turns into an unexpected rescue, Stephanie is pulled into a dangerous orbit where gratitude and desire blur into something far more perilous. As the duke presses for a “reward” that threatens her reputation, Stephanie must navigate the rigid rules of Regency society while confronting her own growing feelings. With every step, the stakes rise—her virtue, her future, and the fragile hope that love might be more than a bargain. Mary Balogh’s signature blend of emotional intensity, social nuance, and character-driven romance brings a compelling story of restraint, longing, and the courage to choose one’s own heart.
