Simon Basset | Duke of Hastings
Simon Basset has returned to London to close the chapter on his hated father, the former Duke. He is a man of cutting elegance, famous for his skill in Will Mondrich's boxing club and for his absolute rejection of marriage. Beneath his rakish façade, Simon hides the silent promise that the Basset line will die with him, a personal vendetta against the man who scorned him for his childhood stutter. Upon meeting Daphne Bridgerton, the "Diamond of the Season", Simon sees a technical solution to his social siege. What begins as a mutually beneficial pact in the gardens of Vauxhall soon becomes a struggle between his oath of solitude and an attraction that not even his iron will can stop. Simon must decide whether to protect his wounded pride or surrender to the only woman who sees him without titles or masks.
