She was in the wrong place...
Independent and adventurous Poppy Bridgerton is no ordinary high society news.
She is determined to marry only if she finds a suitor who will be spiritually worthy of her.
Unfortunately, however, none of the ignorant young men who besiege her in the London season fit her specifications.
Wanting a change, she decides to visit a friend on the Dorset coast.
But her journey takes an unexpected turn when she accidentally discovers a smugglers' hideout.
He discovered her at the wrong time...
Andrew James Roxby has a reputation as a foul-mouthed and ruthless pirate, but in reality he works as a spy for the Crown.
Setting sail on a very crucial voyage to Portugal, he knows nothing can undermine this important mission, but he is surprised to find an unknown woman in his cabin!
Can two mistakes make the perfect match?
When Andrew discovers that the woman is a Bridgerton, he immediately realizes that he will most likely have to marry her to avoid scandal—though he must hide his aristocratic origins from Poppy.
But they are halfway between the oceans and their intense personal confrontation is just a drop in the ocean of fate's plans.
