She found herself in the wrong place…

The independent and adventurous Poppy Bridgerton is not just another typical young lady of high society. She is determined to marry only if she finds a suitor who is intellectually her equal. Unfortunately, none of the ignorant young men courting her during the London season meet her standards. Desiring a change, she decides to visit a friend on the Dorset coast. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn when she accidentally discovers a smugglers' hideout.

He discovered her at the wrong time…

Andrew James Roxby has the reputation of an indecent and ruthless pirate, but in reality, he operates as a spy for the Crown. Setting sail on a very crucial journey to Portugal, he knows that nothing can undermine this important mission, but he is stunned when he finds an unknown woman in his cabin! Can two mistakes create the perfect combination? When Andrew discovers that the woman is a Bridgerton, he immediately realizes that he might have to marry her to avoid scandal — although he must hide his aristocratic lineage from Poppy. But they are in the middle of the ocean, and their intense personal confrontation is just a drop in the ocean of fate's plans.
