    Summary

    "Samaritan can see you. It's been able to for months. I do what it tells me to so you don't die, okay? I…" Shaw's hands shake and she runs them down her face, her back still turned to Root. "I've done things. Unforgiveable things."

    "I don't care about that, Sameen. None of the others would either. Please, just come with—" as Root grabs her arm, Shaw whips around and aims a gun at her.

    "No. I told you, Root. Stay away from me."

    Root smiles, pain reflected in her eyes. "I've imagined a million reunions for us. Funny how many involved a gun."

    "Yeah, well. It wouldn't be very exciting one without some threat of violence, I guess."

    Samaritan can see her friends now.

    And unless Shaw does what it tells her to, kill targets and follow its every command, they will die.

    She won't let that happen. She'll do anything to avoid that.

    Even if it means Root will hate her for it if she ever finds out.

    Summary

    “The fruit is sweetest when you wait for it to ripen, do you not think?” Michaela said each word slowly, meaningfully, and Francesca felt her mind go blank.

    “I — I do not know,” she managed to stutter out.

    She watched as Michaela licked her bottom lip. “You don’t?” she echoed.

    And then she reached up and wiped at the juice that was dribbling down Francesca’s chin with her thumb. “Well,” she started, looking down at her plum-stained thumb before placing it between her own lips. Francesca’s stomach clenched at the sight.

    Michaela sucked her thumb slowly before letting it fall from her lips with a pop. She smiled knowingly up at Francesca. Francesca would not be able to take her eyes off Michaela’s lips — even if she tried.

    She watched as Michaela breathed in and then parted her lips to speak. “The greatest pleasure awaits you still,” she said.

    Summary

    “You know it, don’t you?” Aaliyah prodded. “How beautiful you are.”

    Zara looked back at her then, her eyes softening. “I suppose I don’t hear it very often. If ever,” she replied, her voice hoarse.

    Aaliyah could strangle every single man that had ever spoken to Zara before. Absurd. Insane. And so, so unjust.

    “Then I will be the one to remind you,” Aaliyah decided.

    Summary

    “You like women.” Francesca blurted her conclusion in the absence of an answer. “As men like women.”

    “No, Francesca,” Michaela half-laughed, half-sighed. “I like women as women like women. It is incomparable.”

    OR

    Michaela returns from India upon hearing rumours that Francesca is re-entering the marriage mart. Their reunion ends with Francesca being the one to run this time. Michaela chases her to Scotland.

    Summary

    She zeroes in on the way Cruz’s hands and long fingers curl around Aaliyah’s ribcage, too comfortable and dangerously high, her thumbs right under her breasts, the press of her palms not shy or hesitant. Cruz’s hips against Aaliyah’s as Cruz uses them to pin her in place because Aaliyah is gently tilting to the side, fighting the bout of lightheadedness and nausea.

    That’s not the way you’d hold an acquaintance or even a friend. Hands can only be that familiar on another body if they already traveled over naked skin. If fingers have wandered through sweat and heat, and have experienced holding their ribs and hips as they trembled and shuddered.

    That’s how you touch someone who’s already yours, Bobby thinks.

    OR

    Bobby's POV. The 5 times Bobby learns something about Cruz and Aaliyah completely against her will and the 1 time she does so willingly.

    Summary

    Francesca slipped into the room, quiet as a shadow, and slid beneath the sheets. Her arm hooked over Michaela’s waist, pressing against her back.

    Michaela didn't open her eyes, her voice thick with sleep. "Fran... we’ve talked about this. You can’t keep sneaking in here."

    Francesca’s throat worked, her voice a fragile, desperate whisper. "Please... just let me hold you a little longer, you don't have to be afraid of the dark."

    Michaela let out a soft, aching exhale against the pillow. “I should have locked the door. I should have locked it every single night."

    "Don’t make me bite you—stop thinking and turn around for me," Francesca breathed, fingers sliding lower, boldly smoothing down the curve of Michaela’s lower hip, cupping the full shape beneath.

    "Mmm, no… we’re wrong, Fran… so wrong for this...." Michaela whispered, breath hitching as Francesca's palm flexed, pulling her flush against her thighs.

    “When I stood at that altar, Micki... I didn't see him. Every vow I spoke, every breath I took—it was your face I was looking at. I was marrying you," Francesca whispered into her neck.

    "Don't," Michaela squeezed her eyes tightly. "God, Fran, don't say that."

    Summary

    Francesca has spent her life walking a perfectly straight line. As her university's youngest literature professor, she hides behind academic theory. But when a rare impulse leads to a breathless, anonymous one-night stand, her structured world begins to crack.

    She assumes her secret is safe… until she walks into her 9:00 AM seminar on the first day of term and finds that the very woman from the night before is her student.

    Michaela is everything Francesca is not: unfiltered, unapologetic, and dangerous to Francesca's carefully guarded boundaries.

    From the moment she comes to terms with her professor on the podium, the lecture hall becomes a battleground of double meanings, stolen glances, and agonizing proximity. Hidden beneath their sharp academic debates lies a consuming passion.

    Caught between strict discipline and an "unlawful longing," Francesca must decide whether to protect her hard-earned career or give in to a love that might finally teach her how to truly live.

    Or:

    Francesca can survive falling for her student. Telling the Bridgertons she's fallen for a woman? That's a different story.

    Summary

    Vi Lanes and Caitlyn Kiramman shouldn’t belong in the same orbit—but from the moment they meet, the pull between them is impossible to ignore. Friends, confidants, and sometimes more, they navigate desire, boundaries, and the unspoken rules of attraction.

    They test the limits of what they can give each other without losing themselves. A friendship that flirts with something deeper becomes a tangled web of longing, secrets, and heat neither can deny.

    The question remains: can they finally let go of control and face the truths they’ve been avoiding, or will the space between them always be too wide to cross?

    Summary

    The collar has fallen open at her throat. No dress shows beneath it. The belt is drawn securely around her waist, and her bare legs extend from the hem to the narrow straps of her shoes. Her curls have been loosened from their pins. Fresh lipstick darkens her mouth.

    Michaela holds Francesca’s gaze. The familiar confidence is present, but not effortless. One hand is wrapped around the strap of her overnight bag. Her breath lifts the open collar.

    “I still have one present to give you,” she says.

    Francesca looks at the coat, the heels, the bag, and then behind Michaela as though the correct explanation might be waiting in the corridor.

    Or: After years of a mutual crush, Michaela proposes an opportunity of a lifetime on Fran’s 19th and it comes with consequences.

    Summary

    “I thought you of all people would be least scandalized by the fact that the Queen let a woman perform tonight.”

    “I — I’m not scandalized,” Michaela stammered. “I’m just…”

    “Surprised?” Christopher filled in. 

    Michaela so rarely lost her thought, but here she was, practically speechless.

    Because the pianist was not a man at all. No, she was a woman. A beautiful woman, with talented fingers, who could not take her eyes of Michaela.

    Oh my.

    “We’re friends, right?”

    “That’s your question?”

    “No, it’s, it’s part of it. It’s more of a proposition, really. We’re friends. Close friends. We do a lot of things for each other. You’re very, uh, honest, with me. So, in the spirit of friendship, and honesty, and learning, and all that is good in the world, could I, um, practice… on you?”

    Michaela covers her face with her hand.

    “Practice… on me… with the strap?”

    “Yes.”

    Francesca asks her best friend Michaela if she can strap her for practice.

    "Are we really not talking about the kiss?" Francesca asked suddenly.

    Michaela reeled, visibly caught off guard. Her hand tightened around her glass. "I thought we decided to be friends," she said slowly.

    "We did. We are."

    "Do you kiss your friends?"

    Francesca looked down at the table. "No."

    "Me either," Michaela said, breathing out a laugh.

    "I've never wanted to," Francesca said quietly. "Until now."

    Francesca looked up at that and eyed her suspiciously. “Shouldn’t you be mad at me?” she asked.

    “Why would I be mad at you?”

    “Because I just turned down your cousin,” Francesca said matter-of-factly.

    Michaela could not hold back her laugh.

    “No, I’m actually quite happy you did,” Michaela admitted.

    “Happy?” Francesca asked.

    “Yeah,” Michaela nodded, licking her bottom lip as she looked Francesca up and down.

    “Why?” Francesca continued, confused.

    Michaela felt her head tilt to the side. “You’re smart, aren’t you? You’ll figure it out.”

    Summary

    A few months after Michaela confided in John her proclivity (or affliction, it was more aptly described she thought) towards the fairer sex, he had come home recounting a philosophy lecture that posited humans were once two halves of one whole creature, who shared everything from hearts and lungs and souls.

    Is this who she is now? Destined to forever search for the missing half of her soul that vanished when John died?

    She will be forever lost, looking for John, but she will never find him again.

    Michaela considers this selfishness, that John was hers and hers alone, when evidence of the contrary exists in this room, exists right in front of her in the form of Francesca, who surely loved him as much as she did.

    Summary

    Michaela looks at her and sighs.

    “It’s incredible how stubborn you are. I think you might be the most stubborn member of your family, and that’s saying something.”

    Francesca tightens her grip on the wheel.

    “Well, forgive my stubbornness. But there’s nothing you can say or do that will make me change my mind. We will be arriving at Kilmartin tonight.”

    Michaela scoffs.

    “You really think I couldn’t get you to pull over if I tried?”

    “You are trying. You have been for the last fifteen minutes.”

    Michaela shifts and pulls both of her legs up into her seat, angling her body towards Francesca.

    “You think I can’t try harder?”

    -- or --

    Michaela employs several techniques to convince Francesca to pull over at a hotel for the night.
