Een splinternieuwe Bridgerton-roman over het geliefde personage koningin Charlotte! Geschreven door Julia Quinn & Shonda Rhimes, producente van de Netflix-serie Bridgerton, verschijnt gelijktijdig met de gelijknamige nieuwe Netflix-serie, met de cast van Bridgerton ''We zijn één kroon. Zijn last is de mijne, de mijne die van hem...'' In 1761, op een zonnige dag in september, ontmoeten een koning en een koningin elkaar voor het eerst. Enkele uren later zijn ze getrouwd. Charlotte van Mecklenburg-Strelitz, geboren als Duitse prinses, is mooi, koppig en buitengewoon intelligent. Niet bepaald eigenschappen die het Britse hof zoekt in de echtgenote van de jonge koning George III. Maar haar wilskracht en onafhankelijkheid blijken hard nodig nu ze getrouwd zijn, want George heeft geheimen. Geheimen die gevaarlijk genoeg zijn om de monarchie op haar grondvesten te doen schudden. Als nieuw lid van de koninklijke familie moet Charlotte haar weg vinden in de ingewikkelde politiek van het hof, terwijl ze tegelijkertijd haar hart moet bewaken. Want ze wordt verliefd op de koning, ook al duwt hij haar voortdurend weg. Bovenal zal ze moeten leren regeren en inzien dat haar beslissingen grote gevolgen hebben. Ze moet vechten voor zichzelf, voor haar man en voor haar volk, dat naar haar kijkt voor sturing en gratie. Want ze zal nooit meer gewoon Charlotte zijn. In plaats daarvan moet ze haar lot vervullen – als koningin. ''Queen Charlotte is wat mij betreft een van de beste verhalen van Quinn en Rhimes tot nu toe. Het is pakkend door de verscheidenheid aan personages, verslavend door de schrijfstijl van de schrijfsters en onwijs mooi door de veelzijdige verhaallijn. In één woord geweldig!''

Durante una década, ha asistido a todas las fiestas de la aristocracia londinense, y siempre ha sido la muchacha mediocre, callada, la que nadie saca a bailar más que por compromiso, la que pasa inadvertida para todos. También para Colin Bridgerton, hermano de la mejor amiga de Penélope, guapo, audaz, soltero de oro... y su amor platónico desde siempre.

There were Bridgertons before the eight alphabetically named siblings. In this second of the Bridgerton Prequel series, following Because of Miss Bridgerton, we go back to where it all began. . . from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn. While you were sleeping... With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned Cecilia Harcourt has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He''s unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier''s life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie... I told everyone I was your wife When Edward comes to, he''s more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out three months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married.

Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places... This is not one of those times. Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband... someday. Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should... Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he''s arrogant, annoying, and she''s absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can''t stand the sight of him, either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor... Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can''t abide is the one person they can''t live without...

A #1 New York Times Bestseller From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Daphne Bridgerton, in the first of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. 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 second epilogue, a peek at the story after the story.
