He stares at her for a moment, the ghost of his laughter clinging to his lips. His full, rose-pink lips. And then he opens them, and out comes the sweetest honey. “May I have the next dance, Miss Sharma?” Kate’s mouth drops, and she feels a flush zip up her spine.

Summary
As a young teenager, Kate Sharma meets Anthony Bridgerton. He is everything that is delightful to her: high-spirited, witty, genuinely kind despite his tendencies to tease. They form a lighthearted, easygoing friendship.
But life goes on, and events draw them apart - until the 1814 season, where everything has changed, where they have important choices to make, ones that are impossible to hide from.
