Publisher Comments:

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. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight.

Who was that extraordinary woman? Ever 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. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Yet, if he offers her his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love?

Synopsis:

In this version of the "Cinderella" fairy tale, Sophie Beckett, daughter of an earl, is at the mercy of her step-relatives, who have relegated her to a servant's role in her own home. She sneaks into a famed masquerade ball, and meets the handsome Benedict Bridgerton, who makes her feel like royalty. But she knows all enchantments must end at midnight.

Yeah, sounds like a Cinderella fairy tale but the twist is there's a maid that Benedict cant resist..
Yet i never read the book but i'm looking forward to have a copy of this.
I am curious to read how the story will end thinking that the maid & the mysterious girl were the same...
