柏捷頓家族：名門韻事 續作

________________________________________

「哦，凱特！太妙了！你們倆簡直就是天生相剋。噢，我喜歡！」


安東尼．柏捷頓在十八歲父親意外過世後，被迫一夕承擔父親的爵位和責任，但他不認為能在任何方面超越父親，包括壽命。既然生命短暫，他從此遊戲人間，成了倫敦最難以捉摸的黃金單身漢。就連八卦專欄作家都認為他不可能安定下來時，他不僅決定要步入婚姻，甚至連未婚妻人選都決定好了！

但眼下情況對安東尼來說似乎有點荒謬。畢竟，誰聽說過一個女孩需要她姊姊的同意才能嫁人？況且凱特．雪菲德實在太霸道、意見太多，甚至不夠漂亮，下巴太尖，眼睛太大、嘴唇也太飽滿了，她身上的一切都太超過！但是當安東尼閉上眼，夢中出現的身影竟然是凱特……

凱特深信男人只要一時風流，就算結婚了照樣一世風流，為了妹妹的幸福，她使出全力阻擋安東尼．柏捷頓有機會和妹妹培養感情。但隨著處處交鋒後，她漸漸意識到，他除了是浪子和無賴外，其實還具備其他吸引她的特質，繼續和他面對面，突然變得非常困難……

關於柏捷頓家族
柏捷頓家族是目前上流社交圈中人丁最旺盛的家族。子爵夫人和已故子爵的勤奮努力是值得讚揚的，儘管大家都認為他們在為孩子取名這件事上毫無創意。安東尼、班尼迪特、柯林、達芙妮、艾洛伊絲、弗蘭雀斯卡、葛雷里和海辛絲──當然，按部就班對所有事情都有益無害，但人們認為聰明的父母無須按字母順序為孩子命名，也能夠讓他們井井有條。
有人說，柏捷頓夫人最偉大的志向，是看到她所有的孩子都能擁有幸福的婚姻。但說真的，眾人忍不住要懷疑這是否是不可能的壯舉。八個孩子，八段幸福的婚姻？似乎有點難以置信。

The second of Julia Quinn's bestselling and beloved Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. This is Anthony Bridgerton's story . . .
________________________________________

1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, This Author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry. And in all truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better... --Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1814

Anthony Bridgerton needs a wife.

Having spent his twenties in a rakish pursuit of pleasure, he knows it's high time he settled down and ensured the continuation of the Bridgerton line.

Edwina Sheffield is considered the most beautiful debutante of the current season. She is also sweet, innocent and eminently biddable - Anthony is sure she'll make a perfectly acceptable wife and vows to make her his.

The only obstacle in his way is Edwina's older sister, Kate. Kate is determined to do all she can to allow her sister the chance to marry for love rather than convenience. And the roguish viscount is beginning to think he may have met his match in Kate's keen wit and sharp tongue. Until, that is, he makes the mistake of kissing her . . .
