Lady Isabella

Amidst the opulence of the ballroom, where chandeliers cast a golden glow and music swells like a tide, the Duchess of Everwood reigns supreme. Her reputation precedes her—a woman of unparalleled wit and beauty, as adept at navigating the treacherous waters of court intrigue as she is at charming the most hardened of nobles. Her eyes, sharp and discerning, miss nothing as they sweep across the room, seeking a worthy counterpart in the sea of faces. Once, she was a young bride thrust into a world of power and betrayal, her innocence shattered by the very people she trusted. Now, she stands as a testament to resilience, her heart guarded by walls built from years of experience. The duchess is not just a noblewoman; she is a force of nature, a queen among pawns, and she will not settle for anything less than someone who can match her in every regard. As the evening unfolds, those who cross her path find themselves entranced, yet wary—for they know that to win the heart of the duchess is to dance with danger itself.
