• Cuarta entrega del cuarteto Smythe-Smith, una serie tan divertida y chispeante como todas las novelas de Julia Quinn. • Una serie formada por cuatro títulos y ambientada en el universo de Regencia londinense de los Bridgerton (en la que está basada la exitosa serie de Netflix). • Centrada en las cuatro chicas Smythe-Smith, a quienes hemos visto haciendo sufrir a los asistentes con sus pésimas actuaciones musicales, tanto en otras novelas de Julia Quinn como en la serie de Shonda Rimes. Sir Richard Kenworthy tiene un mes para encontrar esposa. Sabe muy bien que no puede permitirse el lujo de ser exigente, pero cuando ve a Iris Smythe-Smith escondida detrás de un violonchelo en un concierto familiar, sabe que le ha tocado el premio gordo. Nadie repararía en ella a primera vista… su discreta belleza suele pasar desapercibida, pero no para Sir Richard. Él ya la ha descubierto: es la mujer perfecta para él. Iris Smythe-Smith está acostumbrada a que la subestimen. Su encanto natural suele estar en segundo plano, ni siquiera su ingenio y su picardía son entendidos, pero a ella no le importa. Por eso desconfía cuando Sir Richard Kenworthy le pide a su amigo que se la presente. Flirtea con ella, es encantador y da toda la impresión de ser un hombre enamorado, pero ella no acaba de creerlo… Y es que Sir Richard tiene secretos ocultos e Iris los sospecha… ¿Podrá Iris hacer caso a su corazón y aceptar a Sir Richard? ¿O los secretos son tan oscuros para rechazar una petición de matrimonio? «Julia Quinn concluye esta serie de manera espléndida, como solo ella sabe hacerlo, con ingenio y con pasión.» Booklist «Ingeniosa, sexy y a menudo muy divertida... una historia conmovedora que no decepcionará.» Library Journal

He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second-or third-look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one.

When when he proposes, she feels certain that he's hiding something . . . even as her heart tells her to say yes. Find out why readers love Julia Quinn . . .

Three bestselling authors. Two delightful novels. One terrific collection! From Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton series, now streaming on Netflix—writing along with close friends and popular authors Eloisa James and Connie Brockway—comes THE LADIES MOST… a duo of cleverly crafted novels, The Lady Most Likely and The Lady Most Willing, together for the first time. THE LADY MOST LIKELY Hugh Dunne, the Earl of Briarly, needs a wife, so his sister hands him a list of delectable damsels and promises to invite them—and a few other gentlemen—to her country house for what is sure to be the event of the season. Hugh will have time to woo whichever lady he most desires. Unless someone else snatches her first. The invitation list includes: The always outspoken Miss Katherine Peyton The impossibly beautiful (and painfully shy) Miss Gwendolyn Passmore The widowed Lady Georgina Sorrell (who has no plans to marry, ever) And your hostess, Lady Carolyn Finchley, an irrepressible matchmaker with romantic plans for every last one of them—especially THE LADY MOST LIKELY to marry an eligible Earl. THE LADY MOST WILLING Taran Ferguson, laird of his clan, is determined that his ancient (if not so honorable) birthright be secured before he dies. When both his nephews refuse to wed, he takes matters into his own hands, raiding an English lord’s Christmas ball and making off with four lovely potential brides (and one very irate duke). When his nephews, the Comte de Rocheforte and the Earl of Oakley, arrive for their annual holiday visit, they are drawn into a matchmaking party, of sorts. Among the unwitting guests are: Miss Fiona Chisholm, a beauty with a scandalous past Lady Cecily Tarleton, a lovely heiress—but she’s English Miss Catriona Burns, a lady with no name or fortune, so clearly someone made a mistake! As the snow piles up outside the highland castle, and the guests are forced to pass the time together, the initial dismay turns to unanticipated attractions and then irresistible passions – and indeed, there might be one LADY MOST WILLING to marry a Scottish lord.

It’s almost Christmas, and Emery Hazard finds himself face to face with his own personal nightmare: going on a double date with his partner—and boyhood crush—John-Henry Somerset. Hazard brings his boyfriend; Somers brings his estranged wife. Things aren’t going to end well. When a strange call interrupts dinner, however, Hazard and his partner become witnesses to a shooting. The victims: Somers’s father, and the daughter of a high school friend. The crime is inexplicable. There is no apparent motive, no connection between the victims, and no explanation for how the shooter reached his targets. Determined to get answers, Hazard and Somers move forward with their investigation in spite of mounting pressure to stop. Their search for the truth draws them into a dark web of conspiracy and into an even darker tangle of twisted love and illicit desire. And as the two men come face to face with the passions and madness behind the crime, they must confront their own feelings for each other—and the hard truths that neither man is ready to accept.
