Can there be any greater challenge to London s Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke? Lady Whistledown s Society Papers, April 1813

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. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems 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 . . .
