    Summary

    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

    Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.

    But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.

    Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.

    Summary

    When Michaela left, she took the final puzzle piece.

    It was impulsive, as so many of Michaela’s actions were, and the entire trip back to Scotland, in carriages and coaches and in temporary lodgings, she held the piece tight in her hand or traced her fingers around its edges and thought about going back to London.  Francesca would surely miss the puzzle piece, or at least notice the new gap in the middle of her formerly perfect puzzle, and if Michaela turned around and returned it and blamed her sudden flight on temporary madness brought on by grief, Francesca would forgive her.  She could be the support Francesca needed until the next season, or for a few more weeks at least, and everything would be fine.

    Then she remembered the way John looked at Francesca like she was his whole world, and how it had felt when Francesca held her hand, warm and tingly and exciting, and she did not turn back.

    Michaela runs away and in doing so, realizes she can't run from grief. Or from love.

    Summary

    There is something strange about Michaela Stirling.

    Francesca cannot quite put her finger on what it is, but it has become clear after three weeks on the road to Scotland that she simply cannot be near her.

    And Michaela - well, she is worried that Francesca Stirling née Bridgerton is a little plain. And one will eventually start to feel guilty teasing a plain person.
