BRIDGERTON  created by Shondaland for Netflix. In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency
London  rules abound. From their earliest days  children of aristocrats learn how to address an
earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally
understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young  marriageable lady should be
amiable…but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of
eight siblings in her close-knit family  she has formed friendships with the most eligible
young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires
her. She is simply too deuced honest for that  too unwilling to play the romantic games that
captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset  Duke of
Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad  he intends to shun both marriage and
society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an
encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake
courtship  Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne  meanwhile 
will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid
the glittering  gossipy  cut-throat world of London’s elite  there is only one certainty: love
ignores every rule... This novel includes the second epilogue  a peek at the story after the
story.
