They make a pact to pretend to court each other, for both of their benefits-Simon to be rid of the attention of predatory mothers and their daughters, and Daphne to peek the interest of the potential suitors. Daphne and Simon take an immediate friendly liking of each other, feeling comfortable in each other’s presence. Simon is a young duke who spent his entire youth keen on being the opposite of the son his father, the late duke of Hastings, desired. Her fate takes a sudden turn with the appearance of Simon Basset in her life. Having three older brothers, Daphne is very confident in her knowledge of men and feels comfortable to interact, but all the men she’s interested in see her as a friend. Being over twenty years of age, Daphne’s mother Violet is desperate to find her a husband, but all the men which are interested in her are either too old or not of the intellect she desires. The novel is set in England at the beginning of the 19th century, and it revolves around the noble English family, the Bridgertons, the eldest daughter of the family Daphne in particular.
