The viscount who loved me | Julia Quinn

But column writers of gossip are mistaken this time, for Anthony Bridgerton not only intends to marry, but he has already chosen a wife! And only her older sister, Kate Sheffield – the most meddlesome woman in all of London's dance halls – stands between him and his upcoming bride. And although that daring conspirator has caused Anthony to lose his senses with her damn persistence in preventing the engagement, every night when he closes his eyes, Kate haunts his dreams that keep growing more and more insane. As for Kate, contrary to common belief, she believes that the morally corrupt are not suitable spouses even if they repent, and worse than that, Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked of all deceivers. Kate is determined to protect her sister – but she fears a weakness in her heart.
