Первый из самых продаваемых и любимых романов Джулии Куинн о Бриджертоне, теперь это серия, созданная Шондой Раймс для Netflix. Это история Дафны и Саймона: добро пожаловать в бальные залы Лондона эпохи Регентства... Может ли быть что-то более серьезное испытание для амбициозных лондонских мам, чем неженатый герцог? Документы Общества леди Уистлдаунс, апрель 1813 г. Судя по всему, Саймон Бассет находится на грани того, чтобы сделать предложение сестре своего лучшего друга, очаровательной – и почти готовой – Дафне Бриджертон. Но они оба знают правду: все это тщательно продуманный план, призванный уберечь Саймона от матерей из общества, настроенного на брак. А что касается Дафны, то теперь, когда герцог объявил ее желанной, она наверняка привлечет достойных женихов... Их уловка срабатывает как заклинание - поначалу. Но пока Дафна вальсирует с Саймоном по бальному залу за бальным, трудно вспомнить, что их ухаживания — полный обман. Может быть, дело в его дьявольской улыбке, и уж точно в том, как горят его глаза каждый раз, когда он смотрит на нее. Это не входило в план, но, похоже, она влюбляется в герцога по-настоящему. И среди блестящего, сплетничающего и беспощадного мира лондонской элиты можно быть уверенным только в одном: любовь игнорирует все правила...The first of Julia Quinn's bestselling and beloved Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix.

But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that a duke has declared her desirable... Their ruse works like a charm - at first. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. Maybe it's his devilish smile, certainly it's the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her. It wasn't the plan, but it seems she's falling for the duke, for real. And amidst the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule...

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 2nd epilogue, a peek at the story after the story.
