Georgiana Bridgerton’s reputation is damaged after an abduction intended to force her into marriage. Nicholas Rokesby, a medical student in Edinburgh and long-standing family neighbour, returns home and offers a practical alternative: marriage between people who already trust one another.

The proposal is not immediately welcome, and both must reconsider what friendship becomes when domestic expectations change. Their marriage of convenience develops alongside Nicholas’s medical ambitions and Georgiana’s determination not to let a public scandal define the choices available to her.
