The Bewitched Earl (The Bridgertons Book 6) - by Julia Quinn

Every life has a watershed moment, a sudden, exciting, extraordinary moment that changes a person forever. For Michael Stirling, that moment occurred the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.

After years of collecting love conquests without ever giving his heart, London's most famous libertine finally fell in love. Unfortunately, he met the woman of his dreams at her wedding rehearsal dinner. Within 36 hours, Francesca would become his cousin's wife.

But that was in the past. Four years later, Francesca is free, although she only thinks of Michael as a friend and confidant. And he doesn't dare talk to her about his feelings, the guilt of loving John's widow, practically a brother to him, doesn't allow it.

In an unexpected encounter, however, Francesca begins to see Michael differently. When she falls into his arms, passion and desire prove stronger than guilt. Now the former lecher needs to convince her that no man but him will make her happier.

In the sixth book of the Bridgertons series, Julia Quinn shows, in her already renowned writing full of delicacies, that life always has a happy ending in store for us. We just need to be attentive to see it.
