Summary
Married life at Our Cottage settles into quiet rituals. On an autumn night, as the library windows turn to dark mirrors and the candles burn low, Sophie reads poetry while Benedict pretends to draw an inkstand, only to end up drawing his wife instead. Though each pretends otherwise, neither is as unaware as they seem.
Marriage has not dulled Benedict’s fascination with Sophie, with the way she reads, the way she moves, the way she exists just beyond what he can ever fully capture. Marriage has not made her familiar - it has only made her more impossible to look away from.

Summary
"I see the darkness hidden behind your eyes— the shadows that no one else dares to look upon."
Benedict Bridgerton is a fallen noble, a gentleman painter who sells pieces of his soul for a few gold sovereigns to soothe his self-loathing in the dark alleys of Soho. Sophie is a Duchess trapped in a magnificent, cold stone prison, an ornament to her arrogant husband.
Bound by a strict one-inch distance he dares not cross, Benedict obsesses over the pure white silk ribbon from her neck—a holy relic he accidentally stains with his charcoal-covered hands. In a private hell masked as an art studio, the line between artist and sitter blurs into a ruinous, intoxicating sin.Bookmarked by mreads149
