![]() ![]() Sophie wishes she could go to the ball, and Araminta and Rosamund are quick to mock her. Araminta boasts that Rosamund will catch the eye of one of the Bridgerton brothers at the ball. Sophie is helping all three women get ready for the masquerade ball. Rosamund and Araminta mercilessly order Sophie around with pleasure, but Posy shows compassion. Sophie loves reading Lady Whistledown’s column, which is her escape from her awful circumstances. Sophie is a maid to Araminta, Rosamund, and Posy, making her do the work of three maids. She also mentions that Benedict and Colin, the two unmarried, eligible brothers of the Bridgerton family, will be in attendance, and there’s speculation about whether they will find someone to marry at the ball. Lady Whistledown says that the Bridgerton masquerade ball is the most sought-after invitation in the ton, and the most talked about event of the season. But when she did, she purposely left out some information. Not willing to lose the extra income, Araminta agreed to let Sophie stay. ![]() He also stated that Araminta would receive 2,000 pounds per year, but if she agreed to keep Sophie in her house till she turned 20, she would receive 6,000 pounds per year. In the late earl’s will, he set aside dowries for Rosamund, Posy, and Sophie. After it was confirmed that Araminta wasn’t pregnant, the Earl’s distant relative inherited the estate. When Sophie was fourteen, the Earl suddenly died. ![]() Rosamund used to mercilessly find ways to abuse Sophie, but Posy was reluctant to do so. Araminta told her to stay far away from her and her daughters unless they were in lessons together. However, Araminta bitterly told Sophie that she knew she was the earl’s bastard and that she refused to accept Sophie. Sophie was excited to finally have sisters and a family around. When Sophie was ten, the Earl married a woman named Araminta Reiling, who had two young daughters Sophie's age, Rosamund and Posy. Though everyone knew the truth, no one dared say it. The Earl told everyone she was the orphaned daughter of a friend who he’d taken in as his ward, even though it was quite obvious that she was his child. When she was three years old, she was dropped off at her father's estate in the country by her dying grandmother. Sophie Beckett always knew she was a bastard she’s the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Penwood. Yet, if he offers his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love? He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight.Įver since that magical night, a radiant vision in silver has blinded Benedict to the attractions of any other-except, perhaps this alluring and oddly familiar beauty dressed in housemaid’s garb whom he feels compelled to rescue from a most disagreeable situation. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Sophie Beckett never dreamed she’d be able to sneak into Lady Bridgerton’s famed masquerade ball-or that “Prince Charming” would be waiting there for her! Though the daughter of an earl, Sophie has been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother. Will she accept his offer before the clock strikes midnight? ![]()
