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..
