From New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the first novel in the enchanting Regency world of the Bridgerton family, now a Netflix series created by Shonda Rhimes. In the ballrooms of Regency London, strict social rules govern the behavior of the aristocracy. Young ladies learn to navigate these expectations, but Daphne Bridgerton, the fourth of eight siblings, struggles with the unspoken norms of courtship. While she is well-liked for her kindness and wit, her honesty makes her less desirable to suitors. Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, has returned to England determined to avoid marriage and society, haunted by a painful childhood and a distant father. However, a chance meeting with Daphne presents a solution: a fake courtship that will deflect the matchmaking mamas and elevate Daphne’s standing in society. Initially, the plan works perfectly, but as they navigate the glittering yet treacherous elite world of London, they discover that love has its own rules. This novel also includes a second epilogue, offering a glimpse into the characters' lives after the main story concludes.
