Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series features the Bridgerton family, comprising matriarch Violet, the widowed Viscountess Bridgerton, and her eight children: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth, named in alphabetical order.

The original Bridgerton series includes eight novels. The Duke and I (2000) describes how Daphne fell in love with Simon, the Duke of Hastings; The Viscount Who Loved Me (2000) tells the love story of Anthony, the Viscount Bridgerton, and Kate Sheffield. An Offer From a Gentleman (2001) relates the romance of Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Beckett; To Sir Philip, With Love describes Eloise’s winning of Philip Crane (2003), to whom she is secretly writing letters in the fourth book, Colin and Penelope’s story. When He Was Wicked (2004) unites Francesca and Michael, It’s in His Kiss (2005) follows the love story of Hyacinth and Gareth, and On the Way to the Wedding (2006) features Gregory and Lucy. The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After (2013) collects the eight second epilogues that Quinn wrote for the individual books and includes a novella featuring Violet.

Quinn expanded on the Bridgerton series with the Rokesby series, which is about the romantic lives of various members of the Rokesby family and their intersections with other branches of the Bridgertons.
