Anthony Bridgerton has no intention of falling in love. As London’s most notorious rake prepares to choose a suitable wife, the spirited Kate Sheffield is determined to make certain he does not choose her sister. Unfortunately for both of them, their sharp exchanges and undeniable chemistry make staying apart far more difficult than either expected.

The Vibe

Set against the glittering world of Regency-era London, The Viscount Who Loved Me brings together a confident, notoriously charming hero and a fiercely independent heroine who is more than capable of challenging him at every turn.

Anthony is accustomed to getting what he wants, but Kate refuses to be intimidated by his reputation or his plans. Their relationship is filled with clever arguments, irresistible tension, and the kind of chemistry that makes every encounter more entertaining than the last.

With Julia Quinn’s signature wit, a lively cast of Bridgertons, and a romance built on equal parts exasperation and attraction, this is a sparkling historical romance for readers who love strong heroines, rakish heroes, and enemies who discover that the line between irritation and desire can be surprisingly thin.
