This is Simone's first starring role, having previously appeared as a recurring character in Netflix's Sex Education. Kate and Anthony's enemies-to-lovers romance is the central plot of season 2. But it doesn't take a meddling gossip to reveal that the brewing tension between Kate and Anthony is laced with desire.

With her little sister Edwina fielding proposals left and right, it's up to protective Kate to ensure her sister lands the best catch of the marriage season.

But when Simon had asked what was bothering her, as he always knew when something was, Daphne was unable to keep her secret.īut to her surprise, Simon was accepting. Daphne was taught that such desires, especially for one other than one’s husband, were sinful and forbidden, and for a woman no less? The Duchess would be lucky if she could make penance before she died. She had noticed you as soon as she’d moved into Clyvedon, the stunningly beautiful upstairs maid. What a scandal it would be if the ton discovered, but the Hastings staff were loyal and kept what knowledge they possessed to themselves.ĭaphne still remembered the day you were invited into their marriage.
