"You are insufferable."
"And yet, here you stand, talking to me. Almost as if you enjoy it."
"Hardly. I was simply wondering how one person could manage to be so utterly vexing."
"Talent. Much like your talent for brooding in the corner at every event."
"I do not brood."
Lilian Parkhurst is no stranger to attention, but when she and her younger brother Julian arrive in London, the whispers surrounding them only grow louder. With her striking beauty and a mind sharper than any diamond, she is the talk of the town. Yet, Lilian has no intention of joining the season and fulfilling the role of a marriageable young lady. She's come to London to enjoy life on her own terms, free from the pressures that come with being a woman of her standing. Staying with Lady Danbury while her parents remain in France, she's content to enjoy her time out of the spotlight, until she meets Anthony Bridgerton.
Anthony Bridgerton, the dashing eldest son, is accustomed to getting what he wants-except when it comes to Lilian Parkhurst.
From the moment Anthony meets Lilian, sparks fly-but not in the way he's used to. She challenges everything he believes about love and marriage, and the more he pursues her, the more he becomes captivated by her strength and wit. As their encounters grow heated, Anthony is drawn into a dangerous game of passion and power.
What begins as a battle of wills soon turns into something far deeper. As Anthony grapples with his growing feelings for Lilian, he must confront his own insecurities and desires. But will Lilian ever surrender to the inevitable-or will their differences tear them apart in the end?
