    Summary

    It begins, as most things do, rather innocuously. With a phone call.

    A phone call that shocks Francesca from her deep sleep, blinking confused and discombobulated in the dark.

    She registers her phone ringing on her nightstand with a jolt, and crawls out of the warm nest of blankets, flinging an arm over and answering without even glancing at the caller ID. Her voice is hoarse, brimming over with sleep as she clears her throat and mutters, “Hello?”

    “Frannie,” Michaela breathes on the other end.

    All of a sudden Francesca’s wide awake.

     

    Or: Michaela’s apartment floods. She moves in with Francesca until it gets fixed. And that should’ve been fine, right? But Francesca’s used to her simple, quiet routine -– bookstore job, piano on the weekends -– and, well, there’s nothing less routine, less controllable, than Michaela. Except maybe the feelings Michaela stirs up within her.

    Summary

    For as long as she'd known Fran, she'd never seen her call out of work on a whim. Francesca seemed almost oathbound to honor any commitments. Plus, the sweet girl struggled mightily with telling a lie. Michaela found it endearing.

    "Francesca! Bad girl." Michaela laughed, wanting to make clear to her very literal-minded partner that her words were in jest. "Naughty naughty."

    What Michaela hadn't anticipated was how viscerally Francesca would react to her words. Michaela drank it in like sweet nectar—the sharp inhale of breath, her hazel eyes darkening to honeyed amber, the crimson flush of her cheeks, the adorable bite of her perfect lip.

    — OR —

    Michaela gets a sneaking suspicion that Francesca might be into dirty talk and things rapidly escalate from there.

    Summary

    At twenty-three Francesca Bridgerton has never had a single orgasm in her life. Not for lack of trying.

    Enter Michaela Stirling: John’s cousin, annoyingly confident, impossible to ignore, and the last person Francesca wants help from. She’s not gay. She doesn’t even like Michaela.

    She accepts her help anyway, because it’s not like this is actually going to work.
