All The Words She Lost

"You have lost the privilege of Frannie."

Two years after John Stirling's death, Lady Francesca Kilmartin is no longer the soft-spoken bride the ton once knew. She is glacial, newly engaged to Mr Christopher Anderson. Lady Danbury's nephew, a charming Casanova everyone agrees will steady her, and infinitely harder than the woman left behind on a sofa in 1818.

Michaela Stirling returns from Calcutta with a simple plan: pay her belated condolences to her cousin's widow, manage the Kilmartin estate, disappear quietly. Three years of collecting lovers should have been enough to forget the woman she could never have. It takes one second in a Mayfair drawing room to know that nothing has been laid to rest and that the Francesca waiting for her will not forgive.

She has lost the privilege of Frannie. She may have to earn it back.

From Mayfair to the Highlands, across sixteen episodes of balls, fractures, and glances thrown across crowded ballrooms, two women must relearn how to speak to one another. How to yield. How to stay.

A whole season to recover the words she had lost.
