When
Frankie Finch and
Hadrian Grenville were at Eton, they shared a youthful dalliance. They were discovered, and
Frankie summarily put the blame on
Hadrian (as suggested by
AnonymousNameNerd123) to save his skin, deriding him as a devious seducer.
Hadrian was expelled, but his family connections ensured his name wouldn't get dragged through the mud.
Frankie and
Hadrian never met again - till the gathering at The Nightingale's
Nest.
Frankie has spent his entire life running away from his past. He's doing it right now. And the past he's running away from is The Honourable _______ _______ .
_______ and
Frankie met on a safari in British East
Africa, and became entangled. But something caused
Frankie to leave suddenly, leaving _______ alone. No matter - she followed him right back to England, and secured an invitation to The Nightingale's
Nest (not a particularly difficult feat - she is the daughter of a viscount and a war hero).
_______ is, on the surface, well-mannered and soft-spoken. But there is more than a hint of mischief behind her facade. She loves love, and she loves to be loved. Not usually by the same man for long, mind you. She is a conquistadora, conquering heart after heart. She gets what she wants. And if
Frankie doesn't give it to her, she's more than willing to expose what happened on safari.
The Honourable _______ _______ _______
First name: a femme fatale from mythology or classic literature.
Middle name: a Byzantine Empress

Surname: a town in Normandy.
BONUS (optional, just for fun - I may or may not take inspiration): What happened in East
Africa?
