The world is set on London. In the world of the Ton. Anthony Bridgerton is the oldest brother in the Bridgerton family. A rake of a man with no desire to marry though his mother Violet has been trying. He’s never been interested in anyone enough to make him want to settle down. That is — until he meets the newcomer. Bailey Darcy was 19 and beautiful beyond measure. Her mother had passed 6 months prior to moving to London with her father Mr. Darcy. Bailey was 5ft 3in lean and curvy. Long dark hair that was naturally curled in ringlets. A dusting of freckles over the bridge of my nose. Full kissable lips. Smart and witty and a bit reckless but graceful and feminine and seductive without meaning to be. These two haven’t met yet. The opening scene is of Anthony chatting with his brothers at the gathering at the Lake. Little boats with lords and ladies and counts alike courting each other, floating on the waters surface.
