Splendid

Джулия Куинн

You’ve met the Bridgertons . . . now discover the Blydons. In Julia Quinn’s witty, delightful debut, one scandalous Season will change two lives forever

There are two things everyone knows about Alexander Ridgely. One, he’s the Duke of Ashbourne. And two, he is determined to avoid marriage. That is until a redheaded American throws herself in front of a carriage to save his young nephew’s life . . .

American heiress Emma Dunster has agreed to participate in just one London season. She’s determined to then return to Boston to run her father’s shipping company. But Emma’s cousins are just as determined to see her settle in England.

Sparks fly and Ton gossip spreads like wildfire when these two terribly determined people cross paths during one very splendid London spring . . .
