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.
