    Summary

    Francesca Bridgerton, a thirty-year-old widow and mother of six-year-old Amanda, reunites with Michaela Stirling, her late husband's cousin, who disappeared without explanation years ago, now as her daughter's teacher. Between the pain of a grief neither has been able to overcome and the guilt of feelings that shouldn't exist, Francesca and Michaela must face the growing attraction that threatens to shatter the barriers they built to protect themselves. But loving someone who also loved John, does that mean betraying his memory, or perhaps the only way to move forward?

    Summary

    Michaela’s company—all soft, and relaxed, and so very late into the evening like this—only seems to heighten Francesca’s braveness, “for after all that, I continue to remain pinnacle-less.”

    Or…

    Maybe Michaela can help with that.

    Summary

    Francesca Bridgerton never forgot Michaela Stirling. She just got very good at not thinking about her.
    Ten years.

    A career she built from the ground up. A life that worked exactly the way she’d designed it: controlled and precise. She was good at this. She was, by most measures, fine.

    Then, the Altessence Heritage Institute briefing documents arrived. And there, third name on the list, was the one person she had spent a decade not thinking about.
    Michaela Stirling. Lead Architect. The most ambitious architectural project London has seen in years and absolutely no way out.

    Francesca had eleven days to prepare.

    It wasn’t enough.
