Isabella Montgomery has yet to find a husband, and her father is sick of her avoidance of the matter. So he sends her away to London, to live with the King and Queen, his cousin being the King, with the hope that the Queen herself could match Isabella with a fine gentleman, after such a success with Daphne Bridgerton. The Queen has her sights set on Colin Bridgerton, and Violet Bridgerton fancies her son to marry Isabella. However, Colin is tied between Bella and Penelope Featherington. Whilst Isabella is intrigued and captured by the fine art of Benedict Bridgerton, and the man himself. But the second eldest Bridgerton is far from looking for a wife. But perhaps all he needed was to meet his match, without the forceful nature of pushy mothers.
