"The second of a funny, fast-paced, Regency-set duet from Julia Quinn, the bestselling author of the global phenomenon Bridgerton
When Elizabeth Hotchkiss stumbles upon a copy of How to Marry a Marquis in her employer's library, she's convinced someone is playing a cruel joke. With three younger siblings to support, she knows she has to marry for money, but who might have guessed how desperate she's become? Although . . . a guidebook to seduction might be just the thing she needs - and what harm could there be in taking a little peek?
James Sidwell, the Marquis of Riverdale, has been summoned to rescue his aunt from a blackmailer, a task that requires him to pose as the new estate manager, and his primary suspect is his aunt's companion, Elizabeth. Intrigued by the alluring young woman with the curious little rulebook, he gallantly offers to help her find a husband . . . by practicing her wiles on him. But when practise becomes all too perfect, James decides that there is only one rule worth following - that Elizabeth marry her marquis.

"It was indisputably love at first sight. But Victoria Lyndon was merely the teenaged daughter of a vicar. . .while Robert Kemble was the dashing young earl of Macclesfield. Surely what their meddlesome fathers insisted must have been true-that he was a reckless seducer determined to destroy her innocence. . . and she was a shameless fortune hunter. So it most certainly was for the best when their plans to elope went hopelessly awry.
Even after a seven-year separation, Victoria-now a governess-still leaves Robert breathless. But how could he ever again trust the raven-haired deceiver who had shattered his soul? And Victoria could never give her heart a second time to the cad who so callously trampled on it the first. But a passion fated will not be denied, and vows of love yearn to be kept. . . even when one promises the moon."

"The second book in an irresistible duet by the globally bestselling author of the Bridgerton series. If you loved Bridgerton, you'll adore the Lyndon Sisters . . .
Eleanor Lyndon was minding her own business when a lord of the realm fell - quite literally - into her life. When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie's feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he'll lose his fortune. And Ellie needs a husband or her father's odious fiancée will choose one for her. And so they agree to wed.
Ellie never dreamed she'd marry a stranger, especially one with such a devastating combination of rakish charm and debonair wit. She tries to keep him at arm's length, at least until she discovers the man beneath the handsome surface. But Charles can be quite persuasive - even tender - when he puts his mind to it, and Ellie finds herself slipping under his seductive spell. And as one kiss leads to another, this unlikely pair discovers that their marriage is not so inconvenient after all...and just might lead to love.

"Todos parecían divertirse en aquel baile que reunía a lo más selecto de la sociedad londinense. Todos, excepto ellos dos. Daphne, una hermosa joven agobiada por su madre, y Simon, el huraño nuevo duque de Hastings, tenían el mismo problema: la continua presión para que encontraran pareja. Al conocerse, se les ocurrió el plan perfecto: fingir un compromiso que los liberara de más agobios. Pero no sería sencillo, ya que el hermano de Daphne, amigo de Simon, no es fácil de engañar, ni tampoco lo son las avezadas damas de la alta sociedad. Aunque lo que complicará de verdad las cosas será la aparición de un elemento que no estaba previsto en este juego a dos bandas: el amor.
IDEARON UN PLAN PERFECTO EN EL QUE EL AMOR NO TENÍA CABIDA...
PERO HAY COSAS DE LAS QUE ES IMPOSIBLE ESCAPAR"

También para Colin Bridgerton, hermano de la mejor amiga de Penélope, guapo, audaz, soltero de oro... y su amor platónico desde siempre. Para Colin, Penélope siempre ha estado ahí, simpática, agradable, pero casi invisible. ¿Cómo es posible que todo cambie de repente? Sin saber bien cómo, el menor de los Bridgerton descubre a una mujer inteligente, sensible, audaz... y muy atractiva. Durante años se han conocido casi como hermanos, y de repente se dan cuenta de que no saben nada el uno del otro. Pero no todo lo que descubrirán va a resultar tan placentero..."

"The first novel in Julia Quinn's worldwide bestselling Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. This is the story of Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke: welcome to the ballrooms of Regency London . . .
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 . . .
