She was given two choices... Georgiana Bridgerton is not against the idea of marriage. She simply believed that she would have a say in her own. However, with her reputation hanging by a thread after the kidnapping that occurred for her dowry, it seems she doesn’t have much room: Either she will never marry or she will marry the one who destroyed her life.

A god from the machine... Nicholas Roxbury is the fourth son of a count, so he can carve his own path in life. He is in Edinburgh, completing his studies in Medicine, and just learns that his childhood friend Georgie Bridgerton is on the brink of disaster; deep down, he knows what he must do.

A marriage of necessity... Unexpectedly, Georgie refuses his chivalrous proposal, as she doesn’t want anyone to sacrifice their life to save her. After all, she always sees Nicholas as her good childhood friend; how can she see him as anything more? But, as the weeks pass, Georgie discovers that sometimes the worst storm is followed by the most beautiful sunshine.
