The Duke and I (Deluxe Collector’s Edition) — Julia Quinn

A fake courtship. A reluctant duke. And a love story that changed everything.

Daphne Bridgerton has always played by society’s rules, but her chances of finding a match are slipping. When she forms an unlikely alliance with Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, their pretend romance quickly becomes the talk of the ton.

What begins as a carefully planned arrangement soon turns into something far more complicated. As attraction builds and secrets surface, both must decide whether they are willing to risk everything for a love neither of them expected.
