When He Was Wicked

When He Was Wicked is the sixth Regency romance in Julia Quinn's Bridgertons series. It follows Francesca Bridgerton, a young widow in early nineteenth-century London, and Michael Stirling, her late husband's cousin and closest friend. Michael has long concealed his feelings for Francesca, while she regards him as a trusted confidant rather than a potential partner. As grief, friendship, and attraction become increasingly difficult to separate, both must decide whether to risk changing their relationship.
