A New York Times Bestseller
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia
Quinn comes the story of Francesca Bridgerton, in the sixth of her beloved
Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a
series created by Shondaland for Netflix.
FRANCESCA'S STORY
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so
tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be
the same. For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came
the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they
chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to
become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and
hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for
Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere
thirty-six hours longer the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper
celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.
But that was then . . . Now Michael is the earl and
Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear
friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love . . . until
one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion
proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets . . .
