She Was the Mocked Sister at Every Ball — Until the Duke of Ashford Asked for Her Hand
For four seasons, no man had asked Beatrice Larkmoor to dance. At Lady Pembury’s ball, she expects another evening spent beside the candle alcove — overlooked, mocked, and quietly corrected by the family that has taught her to disappear. But when the Duke of Ashford crosses the ballroom, he does not ask for Clarissa, the beautiful favored sister. He asks for Beatrice. And worse for those who tried to bury her name, he already knows who she is.
