Summary
At twenty-three Francesca Bridgerton has never had a single orgasm in her life. Not for lack of trying.
Enter Michaela Stirling: John’s cousin, annoyingly confident, impossible to ignore, and the last person Francesca wants help from. She’s not gay. She doesn’t even like Michaela.
She accepts her help anyway, because it’s not like this is actually going to work.

Summary
She was attracted to Michaela. That much was clear. And Michaela was attracted to her too? She had to assume so.
So they could see each other again. It could be light and breezy. Francesca could manage that.
She didn’t want to date Michaela, anyway. Michaela was brash and loud and chaotic. They just weren’t compatible. At least as conversation partners. But in other ways…
Francesca blushed at the memory. Yeah, they were definitely compatible in other ways.

Summary
When she turns her head back towards the door, searching for the girl from the internet, she’s met with the sight of a breath-taking woman. Her hair is thick, yet straightened, curling around the tops of her shoulders. Even better, she wears a translucent lilac blouse that compliments her brown skin so beautifully. Francesca is certain this is who she was waiting for, but she waits for the confirmation.
or,
Francesca Bridgerton finds equilibrium where she least expects it.

Summary
"Fran," Michaela said softly.
Francesca opened her mouth. Nothing came. The pressure of weeks, months, years perhaps, though she had not known it as such, broke all at once.
She crossed the last distance and reached up, taking Michaela's face in both hands with more urgency than grace, and kissed her. It was not careful. It was not tentative, except in that first shattered second of contact when Francesca's whole body seemed to stop in terror at what she had done.
Michaela stepped back. Only one step. More from shock than refusal. But to Francesca, already raw with dread, it felt like an entire world withdrawing.
She tore herself away at once. The blood rushed from her face so quickly it left her lightheaded. Shame, hot and immediate, flooded every inch of her. "I am sorry," she whispered, though she scarcely knew if the words were audible.
Michaela's eyes were wide, stunned beyond speech.
Francesca saw that stunned stillness and mistook it entirely. What had she thought? What had she done? She backed away, then turned and fled before Michaela could recover enough to stop her.

Summary
When John's best friend Francesca confesses she's never reached her pinnacle. He does what any rational bff would do in this situation and suggest his gorgeous, emotionally intelligent neurosurgeon cousin as a ... consultant.
"Can I ask you something? And you have to promise not to get weird about it."
"I'm seconds away from crying in a bar. How much weirder can it get?"
"Fair point." He takes a breath. "Have you ever thought about … I don't know. Sleeping with a woman?"
