By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend’s sister, the lovely – and almost-on-the-shelf – Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth: it’s all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers.
As Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it’s hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. But somehow Daphne is falling for the dashing duke... for real. And now she must convince the handsome rogue that their clever little scheme deserves a slight alteration.
Book one of Julia Quinn’s beloved Bridgerton series, now a hit Netflix show.
