THE COUNT ANNOUNCED HIS ENGAGEMENT TO ANOTHER… BUT TOOK HIS BELOVED IN HIS ARMS BEFORE EVERYONE

THE COUNT ANNOUNCED HIS ENGAGEMENT TO ANOTHER… BUT TOOK HIS BELOVED IN HIS ARMS BEFORE EVERYONE. England, 1812. In the heart of London, Count Edward shocks the court by announcing his engagement to the daughter of a powerful duke. The news is celebrated as a social triumph, but for Lady Isabel — the woman he had secretly sworn to love — every word is a dagger in public. During the preparations for the ball, cruel whispers spread through the gilded halls. Isabel, humiliated and abandoned, tries to hide among the shadows, while the count proudly displays his future bride. Yet with every stolen glance, it becomes impossible to conceal the truth that binds them. When the music fades and all await the official toast, Edward yields to his heart. Before aristocrats, rivals, and enemies, he takes Isabel into his arms, defying titles, alliances, and duty. An act of passion so scandalous it shakes the entire nobility. But how far will he dare to go against his own family — and against the crown itself? And more than that… can love survive when every gaze in the court longs for their downfall?
