Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer - the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.

The final book in the Smythe-Smiths Quartet, a dazzlingly witty series by the bestselling author of Bridgerton. Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride . . . He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second-or third-look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one. Iris Smythe-Smith is used to being underestimated. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. So when Richard Kenworthy demands an introduction, she is suspicious. He flirts, he charms, he gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can't quite believe it's all true. When when he proposes, she feels certain that he's hiding something . . . even as her heart tells her to say yes. Find out why readers love Julia Quinn . . .

Amelia Willoughby has been engaged to the Duke of Wyndham for as long as she can remember. Literally. A mere six months old when the contracts were signed, she has spent the rest of her life waiting. And waiting. And waiting ... for Thomas Cavendish, the oh-so-lofty duke, to finally get around to marrying her. 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!

Jednom davno autorica ljubavnih romana stvorila je obitelj. Ali ne bilo koju obitelj. Riječ je o osmero braće i sestara te pripadajućih pridošlica, kćeri i sinova, nećakinja, nećaka, ali i matrona koje sve drže na okupu. Nikako ne smijemo zaboraviti ni bucmastog korgija. To su Bridgertoni: sila prirode više nego obitelj. Uz romane Julie Quinn čitatelji su se smijali, plakali, zaljubljivali i poželjeli da tome ne dođe kraj. Autoricu su zatrpavali pitanjima: hoće li Francesca i Michael postati roditelji? Kako se snalaze omiljeni Penelope i Colin? Što je s čuvenom partijom pall malla?
