    Summary

    Two of Russia’s most promising figure skaters have shared the same ice since childhood. Rivals by design, inseparable by instinct.

    When a single fall fractures a training session and the control they’ve both relied on, Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova are forced to confront what has always lived between them, fear, devotion, and a closeness neither of them knows how to name.

    “You don’t get to protect me,” Anna says. There’s no softness in it, no cruelty either. Just truth edged with restraint.

    Sasha finally looks at her.

    Up close, Anna is aware of familiar things she never lets herself linger on, the warmth of Sasha’s presence, the faint scent she’s carried since they were younger, colder rinks, earlier mornings.

    Sasha’s gaze flickers over her face, searching, like she’s checking for damage no one else would notice.

    “I know,” Sasha says again, quietly. “But I couldn’t stand there and watch them turn you into something fragile the second you slipped.”

    Summary

    “I do not know you.”

    “Yet I should like to know you.”

    Francesca finds that her eyes have already drifted back to her left, back towards Michaela.

    “I—” She feels her cheeks paint pink, “Well you should—” She coughs. “Not.”

    Michaela just smiles, nonplussed, “I fear your repellant disposition is having the opposite effect, Miss Bridgerton.”

    Francesca cheeks redden even further as she rolls her eyes, looking away again, “I told you to—”

    “Tell me then, Francesca..” Michaela purrs, turning towards Francesca and stepping closer. Francesca’s neck jerks right back to her at the sound of her voice. Her heels click once, twice. And she teases a small pout, a dangerous gesture indeed, “What mountains must I move to earn favor with you?”

    Francesca’s eyes unconsciously fall to Michaela’s lips for a half-second.

    And when she looks back up, Michaela's pout transforms into that same damned enigmatic smile.

    Holding her gaze steady, seemingly unaffected, Francesca finally suggests,

    “Perhaps you can start with Everest.”

    Or, Queen Charlotte decides to spice up this year’s season by adding a jewel to her collection of diamonds.

    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.
