The Magic of Bridgerton Volume 1: Pre-order Now!

Let’s start with the glorious Bridgerton Volume 1 set. This is where it all begins, where we meet the irresistible Bridgerton family and get caught up in a world of romance, wit, and just the right amount of scandal. 

Volume 1 includes the first four books of the series: The Duke and I, The Viscount Who Loved Me, An Offer From a Gentleman, and Romancing Mister Bridgerton. That’s four swoon-worthy love stories in one pre-order. Seriously, what’s not to love?

“Can there be any greater challenge to London’s Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke?”—Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, April 1813 

Daphne and Simon’s steamy slow burn in The Duke and I, Anthony's delightful journey from rake to reformed (and utterly charming) husband in The Viscount Who Loved Me, and let’s not forget Benedict’s Cinderella-style romance in An Offer From a Gentleman. Oh, and then there's Colin—the dashing Bridgerton brother who steals hearts in Romancing Mister Bridgerton. Just thinking about all that romantic tension is enough to make any reader weak in the knees!

But here’s where things get extra exciting,  Volume 1 is currently available for pre-order, and trust us, you don’t want to miss it. These beautifully designed hardcovers feature exclusive artwork that makes them as stunning to look at as they are to read. 

They’re the perfect addition to any romance reader’s collection, and the only thing better than reading about the Bridgertons is showing off these gorgeous editions to your friends. (Bridgerton book club, anyone?)
