Because of Miss Bridgerton [Large Print]

There were Bridgertons before the eight siblings. In this first of a new prequel series, we go back to where it all began. . . from New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn. Billie Bridgerton and George Rokesby are neighbors and have known each other (and driven each other crazy) all of their lives. Billie is far from your average shrinking wallflower - in fact, she's a total tomboy, fearless and bold... until circumstances take her out of Kent and put her in a more traditional social setting, where suddenly she's quite out of her element. George is his family's eldest son, and as such he can't join the military to serve his country as two of his younger brothers have. He hates this. So when George finds himself thrown back together with Billie, passions flare - just not the romantic kind. And yet, there's something about Billie that George can't deny he finds tempting rather than irritating. It may turn out that this match made in hell is not so intolerable after all...
