The inspiration for the second season of Bridgerton, a series produced by Shondaland for Netflix, based on the bestselling novels by Julia Quinn: the story of Anthony Bridgerton in the second of her beloved novels, set in the Regency era and centered around the charming, powerful Bridgerton family.

Anthony's story

This time, the gossip columnists are wrong. London's most unattainable bachelor, Anthony Bridgerton, has not only decided to marry; he has even chosen a woman! The only obstacle is the older sister of his fiancée, Kate Sheffield – the most insistent woman to ever enter a London ballroom. The fiery schemer drives Anthony to despair with her determination to prevent the engagement, yet when he closes his eyes at night, Kate is the woman who haunts his increasingly erotic dreams.

Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed womanizers do not make the best husbands – and Anthony Bridgerton is the worst of them all. Kate is determined to protect her sister – but she fears that her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony's lips touch hers, she suddenly fears that she might not be able to resist the reprehensible womanizer himself.
