Book
Second born sons aren't promised an inheritance in 1784 France. Despite this, seventeen-year-old Beau Bellegarde is the big man on campus at his school in Paris. With his good looks and distinguished last name, Beau appears to have it all. But when he gets dumped by girlfriend Rachelle, Beau is thrown into a scramble for his future. Without the promised job from Rachelle's father and without an inheritance, Beau is forced to enter a bet with his brother: if he can turn Evie Clement, the unapproachable baker's daughter, into the winner of the Court Ball, he inherits the family fortune. There's just one small problem - she hates him, and for good reason. Independent and headstrong, Evie Clement dreams of sewing dresses for Marie Antoinette, but knows she's bound to a life working in the bakery to provide for her family. When rich kid and childhood nemesis Beau Bellegarde attempts to charm her, she rejects him over and over again, until finally, she gives him the smallest of chances. But as she befriends Beau, entering a world of high-status parties and even a nomination to win Rose at the Court Ball, she has to ask herself one question... why?
