Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love, and he's sure he's found it. There's just one small problem: the woman he's fallen for is in love with someone else. His friend, Lady Lucinda Abernathy, tries to help him win her over, but ends up falling for Gregory herself. The catch? Lucy is already engaged, and her uncle won't let her break it off. Now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must race against time to claim the bride he truly loves.
Julia Quinn is the pseudonym used by Julie Pottinger (born Julie Cotler), a best-selling American historical romance author, who says she chose her pseudonym so her Regency romances would be on bookshelves next to those of the successful romance writer Amanda Quick. Her novels have been translated into thirteen foreign languages, and she has appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List nine times.
