Unexpected love

When Michael Stirling, London's infamous heiress, sees Francesca Bridgerton, he immediately falls in love with her. But Francesca is only a few hours away from her wedding to Michael's cousin. But that was then, and now Michael is a count and Francesca is free. But only until one dangerous night, when she throws herself into his arms in all innocence. She opened her mouth to say something - something soothing or even funny, but found herself at a loss for words. She could do nothing but watch the man she assumed she knew well. At that moment, she felt like she was hypnotized. She couldn't take her eyes off him. He was breathing heavily, obviously still trying to control his anger, and Francesca was surprised to realize that he looked like he wasn't quite there. He looked out at the horizon with wide eyes, looking... Wounded. BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES!
