After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permit-ting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesco Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca’s súmame was to remain Bridgerton for 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 Francesco 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 ...
