Sophie Beckett dreams of getting into a carriage and going to a ball at least once. Instead, she gathers her stepmother\'s daughters for social events. Her own father made sure that Sophie had a roof over her head, because where else would an earl\'s bastard have a better place to live? But in the arms of the strong and handsome Benedict Bridgerton, Sophie feels like royalty! A couple of hours before tomorrow, she has to live a happy little life to wake up once again as an ordinary valet. Time is running out inexorably. At midnight, Sophie hurriedly returns home, takes off her dress, sparkling earrings, and shoes. She is left with only the memories of the charming gentleman from whom she inadvertently stole her heart. Benedict will not be satisfied with the memories of a mysterious lady in a silver dress, but will a few scant clues and a glove with initials lead him to the stranger\'s trail?
