Summary
“Show you?” Michaela asked.
“Well, what I mean is to give me some instructions…” Francesca swirled her drink.“Maybe a written step by step guide?”
“You think you can solve this methodically like learning to play a new song but really, it’s more like solving a jigsaw.”
“Michaela, I am not asking.” A foreboding darkness swept across Francesca’s features that sent chills down Michaela’s back. “I have already tried so much to no avail. I need you to guide me.”After a night of drinking and an embarrassing confession, Francesca makes Michaela coach her through her first pinnacle.

Summary
Such anger, she had felt in Scotland. She had been angry at Michaela for being there, for being beautiful, for making Francesca feel things she did not want to feel and could not explain and could not control. She had been angry at herself for being weak, for being strange. She had been angry at the curse. Such hunger, she had felt in Scotland.

Francesca is a vampire and Michaela makes her hungry. <3 -

Summary
“Excuse me,” said a voice beside her. “I was wondering if you could help me. There’s something wrong with my phone.”
(...) Francesca blinked. “Sorry?”
The woman held up her phone with a solemnity that fooled no one. “Terrible malfunction.”
Francesca, still a step behind whatever was happening here, said, “Do you need to ring someone?”
“That’s the issue,” the woman said. “It doesn’t have your number in it.”A modern AU Franchaela story in which Francesca Bridgerton goes to Spain for two weeks with her sister Eloise and their friend Sophie, fully intending to recover from heartbreak quietly and in peace.
Instead, she meets Michaela Stirling.
What begins as sun, flirtation, and something that looks like a holiday distraction slowly becomes harder to define, and even harder to ignore. In a place that feels far from home, Francesca finds herself drawn to a woman who makes wanting feel easy, and honesty feel like something neither of them quite knows how to do.
And when the holiday ends, neither of them is brave enough to say what happens next.Series

Summary
"Would you kiss me?" Francesca asks the question before she can register how insane it sounds.
Michaela responds pretty much exactly how she expects her to: like she can't believe what she heard. Her head whips up, eyes as wide as saucers. "I'm sorry—what?" Michaela sputters out.
If the ground opened up right now and swallowed her, she would be thankful.

Francesca thinks kissing is overrated until she kisses her roommate-best friend-crush, Michaela.

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.
