Summary
Almost three years after the death of her husband, Francesca is officially out of her mourning period and ready for the next phase of her life.
However, despite the urging of her mother, she is in no hurry to return to Mayfair. Instead, she wishes to remain in Scotland with her dear friend Michaela, the newly minted Countess of Kilmartin, and run the estate together, as John would have wished.
But she cannot fathom why, on occasions, she is drawn to Michaela for reasons she cannot quite name. Why sometimes there is a strange intensity between them, a tension that she doesn’t share with anyone else.

Summary
"Do you know what your problem is?" Eloise asks.
"Several paid professionals have tried to answer that question."
"You're in love with Michaela."
Francesca nearly drops her wine glass.
"That's absurd."
"You learned Portuguese when she had to spend a month in Sao Paulo."
"I learned Portuguese for practical reasons."
"She's the practical reason."
Francesca Bridgerton is definitely not in love with her best friend. Unfortunately, the evidence would like a word.
(or the very slow friends-to-lovers modern AU in which everyone has already figured it out except the two women sharing lingering eye contact, emotional dependency, and an alarming commitment to calling it friendship)

Summary
Part 2 of The Shape of Wanting series. Sequel to Before We Were Brave.
Modern AU Franchaela, with characterisation kept close to canon. All of the Bridgertons will make an appearance.
Francesca Bridgerton thought Spain was over. She thought Michaela Stirling belonged to the holiday: to sunlit streets, late-night bars, warm skin, dangerous smiles, and the kind of wanting Francesca had never quite known what to do with before.
Then her dog gets hurt, and the vet who walks through the clinic door is Michaela.
They find each other again in London, but the reunion is far from simple. Francesca has questions she never asked. Michaela has grief she never explained. Between them sit missed messages, wrong assumptions, and all the things they were not brave enough to say before goodbye.
Spain was supposed to be temporary.
This was not.
