#1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn presents the first novel of the delightful
Bridgerton Prequel series in a stunning new package. There were Bridgertons before the eight
alphabetically named siblings and in this novel we go back to where it all began. . .
Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places... This is not one of those times.
Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have
been neighbors for centuries and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and
Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband... someday. Sometimes you fall in love with
exactly the person you think you should... Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely
cannot tolerate and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom but he's
arrogant annoying and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient
as she can't stand the sight of him either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor...
Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together a whole new sort of sparks
begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss they just might discover that
the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without...
