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
“I mean it, Francesca. Pulling my chair is a first for you.” She has an attractive smirk on her face. She releases her grip from Francesca’s own face. Her eyes are still taking Francesca apart, but some of the darkness is replaced by concern. “Give me twenty minutes but we’re going to my place.”
Francesca fixes her posture. “Hm?”
Michaela’s smirk turns into a full smile. “We can leave in twenty minutes. I don’t want to keep you here longer than is necessary, but I believe you could use a lesson in patience.”
or,
Francesca Bridgerton is suffering from crippling touch starvation. Luckily, Michaela Stirling has the cure.

Five years.
Twenty matches.
One hotel, different floors and the kind of tension that has been mislabeled competitive awareness for far too long. Francesca and Michaela are the greatest rivalry in women's tennis — and, it turns out, each other's most inconvenient problem.

Summary
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For Michaela Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time she laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased her, of allowing herself to be caught but never permitting her heart to become engaged, she took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder she managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michaela, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer—the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to her cousin.
But that was then... Now Michaela is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of her as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michaela dares not speak to her of her love... until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into her arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets...
