Summary
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For Michaela Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time she laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased her, of allowing herself to be caught but never permitting her heart to become engaged, she took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder she managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michaela, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer—the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to her cousin.
But that was then... Now Michaela is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of her as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michaela dares not speak to her of her love... until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into her arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets...

Summary
“Okay, okay,” he relented. “I’m getting there. I want you to take piano lessons.”
There it was. Michaela closed her eyes and let her head thunk lightly against the back of the couch. “Absolutely not.”
“Michaela.”
“I don’t do lessons,” she said. “Lessons imply failure. Lessons imply a woman double my age telling me my wrists are tense.”
“First of all, rude,” Colin said. “Second, she’s not double your age.”
She froze. “She?”
“Yes, she,” he said, far too pleased with himself. “My sister. Francesca.”
or Michaela needs to take piano lessons for a role she has. Colin offers his sister Francesca to help.
