Some meetings are unforgettable... even when they are brief.
When Francesca Bridgerton travels to Scotland seeking quiet time with her mother, the last person she expects to encounter is Theodore Hawthorne - a charming, infuriating traveler who seems to belong nowhere and everywhere at once. Their first acquaintance is marked not by romance, but by irritation, sharp words, and a moment neither of them can quite forget.
A year later in London, they meet again.
But Theodore is no longer just the enigmatic man from Scotland - he is a man burdened by a failing estate, a dying mother, and a past he would rather outrun. Francesca, composed and perceptive, finds herself drawn into his orbit despite every instinct to remain unaffected.
Set in the world of Bridgerton, this semi slow-burn story is filled with tension, wit, unspoken apologies, and the quiet moments that change everything.
I do not own Bridgerton or any of the characters, besides my OCs.
