The Duke and I by Julia Quinn is a historical romance novel, first published in 2000 by Avon. It marks the beginning of Quinn’s beloved Bridgerton series, which revolves around the lives of the Bridgerton siblings. The story centers on Daphne Bridgerton, the fourth eldest child of the family. In Regency London’s ballrooms and drawing rooms, where rules abound, Daphne finds herself entangled in an elaborate plan. Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, is on the verge of proposing to her—a strategic move to keep him free from marriage-minded society mothers. But as they waltz across ballroom after ballroom, their courtship becomes more than just a sham.
