The Duke and I Cover

On January 5, 2000, JQ introduced the Bridgertons to the world with The Duke and I. Five covers later and with a Netflix series slated for later this year, The Duke and I has earned a celebration!

Updated: Monday, JAN 6 at 430pm EST Avon Books will be throwing a party on Instagram. You can also enter to win a new Duke & I paperback from Avon via their Instagram through Friday, JAN 10. #ReadBridgertons

In the meantime, if you’ve read it already, go inside the story of The Duke and I. If you haven’t read it yet, what are you waiting for? Read or listen to an excerpt from the beginning of the book, then keep reading — order your copy, or get an autographed one. Enjoy!
