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.Series

Summary
Almost three years after the death of her husband, Francesca is officially out of her mourning period and ready for the next phase of her life.
However, despite the urging of her mother, she is in no hurry to return to Mayfair. Instead, she wishes to remain in Scotland with her dear friend Michaela, the newly minted Countess of Kilmartin, and run the estate together, as John would have wished.
But she cannot fathom why, on occasions, she is drawn to Michaela for reasons she cannot quite name. Why sometimes there is a strange intensity between them, a tension that she doesn’t share with anyone else.
or; Falling in love with your best friend, even if you don't quite know it yet.

Summary
“What about you, Annie? Why are you in training?”
The familiar lie was resting on her tongue—a comfortable life behind Wall Sina—but just as she was about to utter it, she spotted a shooting star out of the corner of her eye and faltered. A life behind Wall Sina would be the furthest thing from comfortable, and to claim otherwise here, under the eye of the entire cosmos, was a crime Annie couldn’t bring herself to commit.
From their carefree cadet days until after the world has ended, Armin and Annie have always gravitated towards each other. One moment of shared vulnerability opens up the opportunity for their connection to bloom.

Summary
Ten years after the Rumbling, the world still healing after the aftermath of this tragedy. Despite working hard with sweat and tears for peaceful days for the past eight years as Ambassadors of Peace, there’s still darkness that hides in the smallest corners of the world. And sometimes - within people as well.
One day could change everything. For Armin and Annie, it changed their lives forever, shedding light on their deepest fears and insecurities. But together, they learn to heal not only their own wounds but also those shadows of the world they left behind.
This is a story of love and respect that lay beyond the surface, the triumph of hope over pain, even when the faith was shuttered into pieces.
