"''The Bridgertons are by far the most prolific family in the
upper echelons of society. Although one can find only banality in

Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth - one would think

內容簡介:
After enduring two seasons in London, Daphne Bridgerton is no
longer naive enough to believe she will be able to be marry for
love. But is it really too much to hope for a husband for whom she
at least has some affection? Her brother''s old school friend Simon
Basset - the new Duke of Hastings - has no intention of ever
marrying. However, newly returned to England, he finds himself the
target of the many marriage-minded society mothers who remain
convinced that reformed rakes make the best husbands. To deflect
their attention, the handsome hell-raiser proposes to Daphne that
they pretend an attachment. In return, his interest in Daphne will
ensure she becomes the belle of London society with suitors beating
a path to her door. There''s just one problem, Daphne is in very
real danger of falling for a man who has no intention of making
their charade a reality...
