Daphne Bridgerton, the charming and intelligent daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family, is looking for a suitable husband. However, she is caught in a society that expects perfection from women while men enjoy all the freedom.

Enter Simon Basset, the brooding Duke of Hastings, who has no interest in marriage. To avoid matchmaking mothers, he strikes a deal with Daphne—they will pretend to be courting. This arrangement benefits both of them:
Daphne becomes more desirable to suitors.
Simon avoids unwanted attention from London’s elite.

But as they play their roles, their pretend love starts to feel very real. Will they be able to resist their growing attraction, or will they discover that love is the most unexpected adventure of all?
