Summary
During her first season out, Francesca Bridgerton retreats into music and quiet to escape the pressures of society. When the Earl of Kilmartin comes to stay at Aubrey Hall, his cousin Michaela Stirling arrives with him—perceptive, thoughtful, and unexpectedly attuned to Francesca’s silences. Through shared conversations, music, and moments of private understanding, Francesca and Michaela form a connection neither fully names nor understands. With the marriage mart looming and expectations closing in, their bond grows in the spaces between restraint and longing, where being truly seen feels both comforting and dangerous.

Summary
Francesca looked back at Michaela, as if to see if she liked it, and Michaela felt her heart swim with love for her. How very sweet she was. And what a thought- that Francesca wished for her to be a part of the raising of her child, that she wanted her approval for the babe's name. Michaela nodded, so Francesca did as well, stretching out her hands before pausing and looking shyly up at Mrs Aitken. “Might I…?”
The matron nodded vigorously. “Of course. If you like the first name then we’ll add the second onto it. She shall be known as Janet Stirling now and henceforth.”Bookmarked by theolfigtree

Summary
Francesca, the cautious and careful, has so dutifully fulfilled what was expected of her in securing a match. The familiarity of a pairing with John was all that she believed she could hope for, but up North amongst the Scottish tranquility, she finds perhaps one should desire more from life. Navigating her home as a newlywed proves to be a somewhat complicated task when her husband asks her to befriend his dear cousin, a woman that Francesca has decided she must avoid at all costs.
