“Fans of the books know, of course, that Edwina is the woman that the rakish and reluctant-to-marry Anthony Bridgerton decides to wed. The only problem is that Edwina’s meddlesome older sister, Kate Sharma (Sheffield in the novels) doesn’t approve of Anthony and does everything she can to stop the betrothal. In turn, Anthony does everything he can to convince Kate that he’s the one for Edwina. But in the process, the two start to develop deeper feelings for each other.” TV Line
