關於本有聲書

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 Michael
Stirling, London’s most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.

After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never
permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love
it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, 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 his cousin.

But that was then ... Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other
than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love ... until one dangerous night, when she
steps innocently into his arms and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets ...

關於作者

Julia Quinn is the pseudonym used by Julie Pottinger (born Julie Cotler in 1970), a best-selling American historical romance author. Pottinger grew up in the New England and California. She has appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List nine times. Pottinger went to Harvard and majored in Art History. After getting this degree, she decided that she wanted to be a doctor, so she had to complete two more years of college to fulfill her science credits. While studying science, she drafted two romance novels. A few weeks after she was accepted to medical school, she discovered that her first two novels, Splendid and Dancing At Midnight, had been sold at auction, so she postponed medical school for two years while she wrote two more novels. By the time Pottinger finally entered Yale medical school, three of her books had been published. After only a few short months of studying medicine, however, she left medical school and devoted herself full-time to her writing. Pottinger lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Paul Pottinger. She was the recipient of the Romance Writers of America RITA Award in 2007 for "On the Way to the Wedding" and in 2008 for "The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever". In 2015 her novel, The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy made the New York Times bestseller list. Julia's title, Because of Miss Bridgerton, is a April 2016 New York Times bestseller.
