Brillante et déterminée, Chloé, sur le point d'obtenir son MBA, n'a qu'un seul problème : son boss, Bennett. Trentenaire séduisant, arrogant et égocentrique, il est aussi odieux que magnétique. Un Beau Salaud.
Après plusieurs années passées en France, Bennett revient à Chicago pour occuper un poste important au sein de l'entreprise familiale - un grand groupe de communication. Comment imaginer que sa collaboratrice, Chloé, serait cette ravissante et exaspérante créature de 26 ans, au charme certain et à l'esprit affûté, qui n'entend rien sacrifier de sa carrière ?
Si Bennett et Chloé se détestent, leur attirance mutuelle, inexorable et obsédante, les conduits à tester leurs propres limites et à enfreindre, une à une, toutes les règles qu'ils s'étaient jusque-là imposées. À une seule fin : se posséder. Au bureau, dans l'ascenseur, dans un parking. Partout...
Arrivés à un point de non-retour, fous de désir, Bennett et Chloé parviendront-ils à mettre leur ego de côté pour enfin décider ce qu'ils acceptent de perdre ou de gagner ?

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the first novel in her beloved Regency-set series featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family-- Look for BRIDGERTON, coming soon to Netflix. In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince--while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable...but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society--just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend''s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm--at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London''s elite, there is only one certainty: Love ignores every rule...

"The French Revolution comes alive through the eyes of six diverse and complex women, in the skilled hands of these amazing authors."--Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls A breathtaking, epic novel illuminating the hopes, desires, and destinies of princesses and peasants, harlots and wives, fanatics and philosophers--seven unforgettable women whose paths cross during one of the most tumultuous and transformative events in history: the French Revolution. Ribbons of Scarlet is a timely story of the power of women to start a revolution--and change the world. In late eighteenth-century France, women do not have a place in politics. But as the tide of revolution rises, women from gilded salons to the streets of Paris decide otherwise--upending a world order that has long oppressed them. Blue-blooded Sophie de Grouchy believes in democracy, education, and equal rights for women, and marries the only man in Paris who agrees. Emboldened to fight the injustices of King Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that an educated populace can govern itself--but one of her students, fruit-seller Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a women''s march to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to bend, but not without a fight. The king''s pious sister Princess Elisabeth takes a stand to defend her brother, spirit her family to safety, and restore the old order, even at the risk of her head. But when fanatics use the newspapers to twist the revolution''s ideals into a new tyranny, even the women who toppled the monarchy are threatened by the guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen, brilliant political wife Manon Roland tries to write a way out of France''s blood-soaked Reign of Terror while pike-bearing Pauline Leon and steely Charlotte Corday embrace violence as the only way to save the nation. With justice corrupted by revenge, all the women must make impossible choices to survive--unless unlikely heroine and courtesan''s daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway the man who controls France''s fate: the fearsome Robespierre.
