Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he''d proposed, figuring that she''d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn''t. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn''t marry a man she had never met!

But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn''t help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?

2 March 1810 . . . Today, I fell in love. At the age of ten, Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her—until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke, the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner, solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. And even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever. But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda. She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day—while he is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier—and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers . . .

But as she watches him from afar, she has a sneaking suspicion that he never thinks about her at all . . . It''s true. He doesn''t. Thomas rather likes having a fiancée—all the better to keep the husband-hunters at bay—and he does intend to marry her . . . eventually. But just when he begins to realize that his bride might be something more than convenient, Thomas''s world is rocked by the arrival of his long-lost cousin, who may or may not be the true Duke of Wyndham. And if Thomas is not the duke, then he''s not engaged to Amelia. Which is the cruelest joke of all, because this arrogant and illustrious duke has made the mistake of falling in love . . . with his own fiancée!

Como en el cuento de Cenicienta, Sophie ve una noche cumplirse su sueño. A espaldas de su madrastra, se viste como una reina y acude al baile de disfraces más importante de Londres. Lo que es más, consigue captar la atención de Benedict Bridgerton, el soltero más atractivo y encantador de la reunión. Sin embargo, pronto vuelve a enfrentarse a su cruda realidad, la de una hija ilegítima, pobre y sin recursos. El destino quiere darle una segunda oportunidad cuando entra a servir en casa de Benedict, aunque él no reconoce en ella a la hermosa joven a la que lleva años buscando. Ella es ahora una simple criada, incapaz de revelarle la verdad. La magia de aquella noche parece perdida para siempre ¿o quizás no? DE PRINCESA RADIANTE... Sophie vivió una infancia extraña. Todos sabían que era hija del conde de Penwood y, aunque éste nunca la reconoció como tal, cuidó de que no le faltara nada. Todo cambió cuando su padre se casó de nuevo, y la madrastra y sus dos hijas hicieron de la vida de Sophie una pesadilla. Muerto el conde, su testamento las obligaba a cuidar de la niña, pero nunca la consideraron una igual. Y tampoco le permitirían nunca que se atreviera a competir con ellas por las atención de los muy cotizados solteros de la familia Bridgerton, tan atractivos como bien situados. Antes, la echarían a la calle donde, suponían, no tendría jamás una oportunidad de acercarse a ellos. ...A CRIADA EN CASA DEL PRÍNCIPE ¿Quién era esa mujer extraordinaria? Benedict no puede olvidar aquella belleza enmascarada que le hechizó en un instante, a la que sólo conoce como la Dama Plateada por el color de su vestido y a quien, inconscientemente, le entregó su corazón. Pero ahora, años después, se siente poderosamente atraído por una sencilla criada a la que salva de un asaltante borracho. Ella es la única que le hace revivir la emoción que le produjo la misteriosa enmascarada. Pero también ella parece fuera de su alcance, a causa de las insalvables barreras de clase que los separan. Sin embargo, la familia Bridgerton tiene muchos recursos para ayudar a uno de los suyos cuando surgen problemas de amor...

Los cotilleos de lady Whistledown no fallan nunca: una vez más, Anthony Bridgerton es el soltero más codiciado de la temporada en la alta sociedad victoriana. Pero este año, el atractivo vizconde, amante de la diversión y enemigo del compromiso, sorprende a todos y decide buscar esposa y sentar cabeza. La joya más preciada, la joven y hermosa Edwina Sheffield, es su elección natural. Pero para conseguirla ha de obtener antes la aprobación de la hermana mayor de la muchacha, Kate. Anthony comprobará que convencer a esa mujer arrogante y decidida de que ha dejado de ser un vividor no es tarea fácil. Como tampoco lo es quitársela de la cabeza cuando llega la noche. ESTABA DECIDIDA A PROTEGER EL CORAZÓN DE SU HERMANA... Kate siempre supo que el éxito en sociedad no era para ella: pensaba que era demasiado alta, algo mayor para el matrimonio a sus veintiún años, y no especialmente bella. Por eso se dedica en cuerpo y alma a proteger a su adorable hermana pequeña de todos los vividores sin escrúpulos que la rondan en bailes y reuniones, atraídos por su belleza. Kate se siente más que capaz de mantener a raya a solteros de dudosa fama como el vizconde Anthony Bridgerton... aunque pronto descubrirá que del enfrentamiento a la pasión hay un paso muy pequeño. ¿PERO QUIÉN PROTEGERÍA EL SUYO PROPIO? Anthony Bridgerton tenía clara una cosa en su vida: que no viviría más años que los que vivió su padre, muerto antes de los cuarenta. Por eso ha decidido vivir su juventud intensamente, sin comprometerse a un amor que quedaría bruscamente interrumpido. Sin embargo, llega un momento en que decide casarse para dejar un heredero. Pero encuentra un formidable obstáculo, la persistente hermana de la novia elegida, que se atreve a desafiarle continuamente. Poco a poco, Anthony descubre en aquella mujer un rival digno de él mismo, capaz de hacerle replantearse muchas cosas... y un ser excepcional del que le va ser muy difícil no acabar enamorado.
