When Caroline Trent is kidnapped by Blake Ravenscroft, she doesn′t even try to elude this dangerously handsome agent of the crown. After all, she′s been running from unwanted marriage proposals. Yes, Blake believes she′s a notorious spy named Carlotta De Leon, but for six weeks until her twenty-first birthday, when she′ll gain control of her fortune, hiding out in the titillating company of a mysterious captor is awfully convenient -- and maybe just a little romantic, too. Blake Ravenscroft′s mission is to bring "Carlotta" to justice, not to fall in love. His heart has been hardened by years of intrigue, but this little temptress proves oddly disarming and thoroughly kissable. And suddenly the unthinkable becomes possible -- that this mismatched Couple might be destined for love.

But how could he ever again trust the raven-haired deceiver who had shattered his soul? And Victoria could never give her heart a second time to the cad who so callously trampled on it the first. But a passion fated will not be denied, and vows of love yearn to be kept. . . even when one promises the moon.

Gregory Bridgerton er romantiker. Han ved dybt i sin sjæl, at lynet en dag vil slå ned, og hans livs udkårne vil vise sig. Ganske rigtigt: Et enkelt glimt af den vidunderlige Hermione, og hans hjerte tilhører kun hende. Hermione har det på præcis samme måde, blot er genstanden for hendes kærlighed ikke Gregory, men en anden mand. Hermiones veninde Lucy sætter sig for at hjælpe Gregory med at vinde Hermiones hjerte. Gregory er viljestærk, modig, flot og ekstremt vittig, så det er måske ikke så underligt, at Lucy selv falder for ham. Men det er til gengæld højest ubelejligt, eftersom hun er forlovet med Lord Haselby. Da Gregory alt for sent opdager, at det er Lucy, der får hans hjerte til at slå hurtigere, bringer det hele Bridgertonklanen i en slem knibe. Et afgørende øjeblik er ottende og sidste bind i serien om familien Bridgerton.

Hans far, som afskyr ham, er i færd med at formøble St. Clair-formuen,og den eneste arv, der venter, er en familiedagbog, som måske, måske ikke indeholder nøglen til hans fremtid. Problemet er, at den er skrevet på italiensk, et sprog Gareth ikke behersker.Hyacinth Bridgerton er djævelsk godt begavet og kvik i replikken – og ifølge Gareth bedst i små doser. Men der er alligevel noget over hende, noget charmerende og forstyrrende, der har fået tag i ham og ikke vil slippe igen.De to unge mødes under den årlige Smythe-Smith-koncert. Hyacinth, der tager alt, hvad Gareth siger, som en udfordring, tilbyder at oversætte hans dagbog, selvom hendes italiensk lader noget tilbage at ønske. Efterhånden som de to fordyber sig i den hemmelighedsfulde tekst, opdager de, at svarene, de søger, ikke ligger i dagbogen, men snarere hos hinanden,og at intet er så ligetil – eller så kompliceret – som det perfekte kys. Et fængslende kys er 7. bind i Julia Quinns populære Bridgerton-serie og fortæller Hyacinths medrivende historie.

Da sir Phillip og Eloise Bridgerton har skrevet sammen i lidt over et år, beslutter han sig for ganske enkelt at fri per brev. Eloise er ugift og hele 28 år, så han går ud fra, at hun må være temmelig desperat efter et ægteskabstilbud. Men ... det er hun bare ikke, hvilket han erfarer, da hun dukker op på hans gods. Særdeles smuk, men alt andet end eftergivende og sagtmodig. Eloise tror ikke sine egne øjne, da hun modtager brevet med frieriet. Man kan da ikke gifte sig med en mand, man dårligt nok kender? Ikke desto mindre tager hun spontant afsted for at møde den mand, der måske kunne være helt perfekt for hende. Men ... det er han bare ikke. Han er humørsvingende og uhøflig og slet ikke som de belevne gentlemen, hun er vant til i London. Ikke desto mindre er der noget, som får gnisterne til at springe. Hvordan ville det mon være at lukke Eloises mund med et kys ... og kunne det tænkes, at den gnavne godsejer alligevel er den helt rigtige ægtemand?
