Summary
Part 2 of The Shape of Wanting series. Sequel to Before We Were Brave.
Modern AU Franchaela, with characterisation kept close to canon. All of the Bridgertons will make an appearance.
Francesca Bridgerton thought Spain was over. She thought Michaela Stirling belonged to the holiday: to sunlit streets, late-night bars, warm skin, dangerous smiles, and the kind of wanting Francesca had never quite known what to do with before.
Then her dog gets hurt, and the vet who walks through the clinic door is Michaela.
They find each other again in London, but the reunion is far from simple. Francesca has questions she never asked. Michaela has grief she never explained. Between them sit missed messages, wrong assumptions, and all the things they were not brave enough to say before goodbye.
Spain was supposed to be temporary.
This was not.

Summary
"Congratulations," Francesca said. Only she could hear the slight edge beneath it, the anger that had been simmering for ten years finally finding its way to the surface.
"Thank you." Michaela's voice was quieter, softer, almost uncertain.
Francesca extended the award. The crystal was cold and heavy, the engraved plaque catching the light. For a moment they both held it—Francesca's hands on one side, Michaela's reaching for the other. Their fingers brushed. It was the barest contact—the pad of Michaela's thumb grazing Francesca's knuckles as she took hold of the trophy. But the sensation was electric, a shock that traveled up Francesca's arm and exploded somewhere in her heart. Heat and ice at the same time. Recognition. Memory. The ghost of every time they'd touched before.
Ten years ago, Francesca Bridgerton lost the girl she loved. Michaela abandoned her.
Ten years ago, Michaela Stirling lost the girl she loved. She was taken away from Francesca.
Now they’re co‑stars in the most anticipated movie of the year, pretending they don’t remember how it felt to lose each other.

Summary
Francesca Bridgerton, a thirty-year-old widow and mother of six-year-old Amanda, reunites with Michaela Stirling, her late husband's cousin, who disappeared without explanation years ago, now as her daughter's teacher. Between the pain of a grief neither has been able to overcome and the guilt of feelings that shouldn't exist, Francesca and Michaela must face the growing attraction that threatens to shatter the barriers they built to protect themselves. But loving someone who also loved John, does that mean betraying his memory, or perhaps the only way to move forward?

Summary
“I never doubted that you’d end up here,” Quinn says. “In New York. On Broadway. I always knew you’d be the one to make it out of Lima.”
“You did too,” Rachel points out.
“I wasn’t ever a given, though,” Quinn says quietly. “You were always the sure thing.”
