Julia Quinn

RETURN TO THE WORLD OF THE BRIDGERTONS . . . ________________________________________ Before the Rokesbys, there were the Bridgertons . . . Go back to where it all began in this dazzlingly witty new series from New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn. Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places... This is not one of those times. Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbours for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband . . . someday. Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should . . . Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humour . . . Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without . . . ________________ Find out why readers love Julia Quinn . . .

Suddenly the rest of the world seemed like such a chore. He didn't want to be here at this dance, with people he didn't want to talk to and messages he didn't particularly wish to deliver. He didn't want to dance with young ladies he didn't know, and he didn't want to make polite conversation with people he did. He just wanted Billie, and he wanted her all to himself. 

He nodded slowly, unable to take his eyes from her. "Yes," he said, "she looks... beautiful." But it wasn't the right word. It was far too prosaic. Beauty wasn't the fierce intelligence that gave her eyes depth, and it wasn't the wit behind her smile. She was beautiful, but she wasn't only beautiful, and that was why he loved her.
