Summary
When Francesca Bridgerton returns to Kilmartin House in the wake of her husband's sudden death, she finds the one complication she cannot manage: Michaela Stirling, John's cousin, still in residence, and still capable of unsettling Francesca with a single look.
Michaela was the first person to offer Francesca comfort in London, and the first to abandon her without explanation. Now, forced into uneasy proximity by estate politics and watchful eyes, the two women circle each other through icy silences, sharp arguments, and moments of tenderness neither is willing to name. Francesca insists she is only trying to restore order. Michaela insists she is only trying to keep Francesca safe. But beneath the rules of mourning and the ruthless scrutiny of society, something forbidden begins to breathe.
Francesca is forced to confront an unbearable truth: she may be losing herself to a love she never knew she was allowed to want. Michaela, torn between devotion and fear, must decide whether protecting Francesca means leaving her... or choosing her.
The Widow's Reckoning is a passionate continuation of Francesca's story, where love does not replace what was lost, but dares to exist beside it... even if it becomes scandal.Series

Summary
The touch of Michaela’s hand on her cheek acted like a key turning in a lock. Francesca’s resolve, which had been a fortress of silence for four long years, crumbled in a single, shuddering breath. She reached up, her slender fingers clutching at the lapels of Michaela’s expensive blazer, pulling her closer as if she were trying to merge their two broken halves into one. A sob escaped her, a sound of profound release that echoed the desperation in Michaela’s own lungs.
"I didn't know how to tell you!" Francesca sobbed, her voice muffled against Michaela’s shoulder. She clung to the fabric of the blazer, her small frame shaking with the force of years of suppressed longing and fear. "Look at your life, Michaela! Look at the world you built! You were becoming a queen in a kingdom of ice and politics. How could I possibly bring a child into that? How could I tell the woman who had forgotten how to be soft that she had a daughter?"

Summary
The Bridgerton Coven and the Stirling Coven are at odds.
Centuries of conflict have built up resentment on both the witches and the vampires' sides, but when a larger problem looms, threatening to destroy the supernatural community at large, something has to give. Known for her dedication to magical studies, Francesca is her coven's choice to get to the bottom of things. Meanwhile, Michaela has been chosen by her coven more to prove her worth after certain...incidents...rather than to solve anything. But when the two women, witch and vampire, stumble across each other's paths, they may just realize that blood magic, their individual specialties combined, is the key to success.
Or things might simply fall apart.
After all, there are rituals to be done, parties to be attended, and feelings to avoid.
However...
The non-fraternization rules remain in place.
The supernatural pairing season waits for no one.
And the world holds its breath for something awe-inspiring.Bookmarked by Rechaela

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.
or; Falling in love with your best friend, even if you don't quite know it yet.

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.

Summary
University AU where Francesca is supposed to be in a perfectly loving relationship with her boyfriend, John, with a sensible future of marriage and children on the horizon, right up until John's cousin, Michaela Stirling, returns from a sabbatical abroad and Francesca finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.
Now Francesca finds herself unable to stay away and trying very hard not to think about why telling Michaela she and John are dating feels like it would ruin everything. Surely keeping that little detail about her relationship status cannot be seen as lying if Michaela never asked. Right?
--
Or, finding the courage to be yourself before it's too late.

Doesn't love make us all a little crazy though? Or is that just Francesca?

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.
