The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgerton #2)

Lady Whistledown's gossip never fails: once again, Anthony Bridgerton is the most sought-after bachelor of the season in Victorian high society. But this year, the charming, fun-loving, commitment-phobic Viscount surprises everyone by deciding to find a wife and settle down. The most prized jewel, the young and beautiful Edwina Sheffield, is his natural choice. But to win her over, he must first gain the approval of the girl's older sister, Kate. Anthony will soon discover that convincing this arrogant and determined woman that he's no longer a womanizer is no easy task. Nor is it easy to get her out of his mind when night falls.

SHE WAS DETERMINED TO PROTECT HER SISTER'S HEART...

Kate always knew that social success wasn't for her: she thought she was too tall, a bit too old for marriage at twenty-one, and not particularly beautiful. That's why she dedicates herself wholeheartedly to protecting her adorable little sister from all the unscrupulous opportunists who hang around her at balls and gatherings, drawn by her beauty. Kate feels more than capable of keeping disreputable bachelors like Viscount Anthony Bridgerton at bay... though she'll soon discover that the step from confrontation to passion is very small.

BUT WHO WOULD PROTECT THEIR OWN?

Anthony Bridgerton was certain of one thing in his life: he wouldn't outlive his father, who had died before the age of forty. Therefore, he resolved to live his youth to the fullest, without committing to a love that would be abruptly cut short. However, a time comes when he decides to marry in order to produce an heir. But he encounters a formidable obstacle: the persistent sister of his chosen bride, who dares to constantly challenge him. Little by little, Anthony discovers in this woman a worthy rival, capable of making him reconsider many things... and an exceptional person with whom he will find it very difficult not to fall in love.
