My dearest hussar, Harry, from the day you arrived at St. Whenever I got too close to you, my traitorous heart skipped a dratted beat and butterflies would abound in my belly.
You have tempted me with your honor and integrity, with your deep love for your family and your fellow soldiers-in-arms. I admire all that you are, but you are also from a titled English family and of far better blood than I.
My true parents abandoned me as a wee baby and if not for the professor who adopted me, I would have been left to perish. That is why I will never attempt to take our friendship any deeper than I should. Never fear for me, my hussar—we will both survive this coming battle. It is time for us to slay our enemy, to win this dratted war, then for you to return safely to your family. Yours in deep friendship, Julia. Each book in this series is standalone, and can be enjoyed out of sequence.
You arrived attired head to toe in black with no other adornment save for a large diamond which twinkled from your right ear. Your black satin mask concealed your expression, making you ooze mystery with your hair slicked back and your blue eyes shining as deep and as bottomless as rich sapphires. Please, take all care. I have no intention of becoming your downfall.
Your devoted friend, Olivia. Ever wonder what happens after the Happily Ever After? This is Eloise's story. I am writing to invite you to visit me here at Romney Hall. It is my hope that after a suitable period of time, we might decide that we will suit, and you will consent to be my wife.

As a child, tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew.
There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate. But when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, sparks begin to fly. From New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the first novel in the beloved Regency-set world of her charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix.
In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood.
A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable…but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London.
Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood.
If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm—at first. This novel includes the 2nd epilogue, a peek at the story after the story. Go back to where it all began in this dazzlingly witty new series from New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn. Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places This is not one of those times.
Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbours for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband.
Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should. Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humour. Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly.
And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without.

Do you remember our first meeting? While the music played in the ballroom and everyone danced, I stepped outside for some fresh air and discovered a kitten which had gotten stuck between two branches.
I picked up a nearby wooden pail, overturned it and tried to rescue the sweet wee creature. Unfortunately, as I plucked it free, I wobbled and lost my balance. You bounded over bushes to get to me, caught me in your arms and surrounded me with your strength and compassion. That night so long ago, you rescued me, and I discovered a treasure.
