La otra Miss Bridgerton

Independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only marry a suitor whose sharp intellect and interests match hers. And, unfortunately, none of the suitors visiting London this season have lived up to her expectations. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy discovers a smuggler's hideout in a cave. But her excitement turns to terror when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard their ship, leaving her gagged in the captain's bed. Reputed to be a rogue and a daredevil sailor, Captain Andrew James Rockesby actually works for the British government, transporting essential goods and documents. Setting sail on an urgent mission to Portugal, he is astonished to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin. Surely his imagination is playing tricks on him, but no, she is very real. And if he is to fulfill his duty to the Crown, he will have no choice but to remain trapped with her. When Andrew discovers that Poppy is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to marry her to avoid a scandal, though she is unaware that Andrew is the son of an earl and the neighbor of her aristocratic cousins ​​from Kent. At sea, their initial verbal sparring soon gives way to a heady passion. But when Andrew's secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to win Poppy's heart?
