Lady Whistledown's Society Papers April 1814 Anthony Bridgerton needs a wife. Having
spent his twenties in a rakish pursuit of pleasure (whilst taking care to ensure the financial
security of his mother and seven younger siblings and mother) he knows it's high time he

her his. The only obstacle in his way is Edwina's older sister Kate. Kate is determined to do
all she can to allow her sister the chance to marry for love rather than convenience. And the
roguish viscount is beginning to think he may have met his match in Kate's keen wit and sharp
tongue. Until that is he makes the mistake of kissing her... Find out why readers love Julia
