    Summary

    After loss alters the course of her life, Francesca finds herself bound by grief, expectation, and a love she never believed she could have or want.

    Michaela has always loved her--silently, steadfastly, and without demand.

    This is my complete rewrite of When He Was Wicked, staying true to the source while exploring what changes when love is allowed to look a little different.

    Summary

    After a lifetime of chasing women in dark corners, of smiling slyly as they chased her, of allowing herself to be caught and then turning the tables until she was the victor, of caressing and kissing and making love to them behind their husbands’ back but never actually allowing her heart to become engaged, she took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and so hard into love it was a wonder she managed to remain standing.

    Unfortunately for Michaela, however, Francesca’s surname was to remain Bridgerton a mere thirty-six hours longer; the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to Michaela’s cousin.

    Now Francesca is free, but still she thinks of Michaela as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michaela dares not speak of her love until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into Francesca's arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets...

    'When He Was Wicked' by Julia Quinn (Francesca's book) rewritten as CANON to the show. For those, like me, who wanted to read the book itself but with Michaela and Francesca as they are in the Netflix adaptation. All rights go to Julia Quinn and Shondaland.

    Summary

    "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself..." - The Picture of Dorian Gray.

    Limits are set when it comes to pleasure, and Michaela has no problem with that. Her work allows her to fully indulge her two passions: design and physical contact, casual sex, without expectations of continuity or establishing an emotional or romantic bond.

    If the opportunity presents itself, she takes it; if the desire is mutual, she will do her part. But after a quick encounter with her cousin's new wife (who ends up being the hostess of her next big project), she'll realize that, in reality, fighting against her own needs is much harder than giving in to them.
