When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn

When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn

When He Was Wicked, published in 2004, is the sixth novel in Julia Quinn’s wildly popular Bridgerton series. Widely considered by fans to be the most mature, angsty, and sensual book in the entire collection, it shifts focus to the naturally quiet and fiercely independent sixth sibling, Francesca Bridgerton.

Unlike the other books in the series that center on a debutante's first steps into the marriage mart, this novel delivers a deeply emotional story about grief, forbidden love, and second chances.

The story follows Michael Stirling, London’s most infamous and unrepentant playboy. For years, Michael has hidden a devastating secret: he fell head-over-heels in love with Francesca Bridgerton the exact moment he met her. The tragedy? He met her just thirty-six hours before she married his cousin and best friend, John Stirling, the Earl of Kilmartin. Bound by fierce loyalty and love for John, Michael buries his feelings deep, settling for being Francesca’s closest platonic confidant.

Tragedy strikes just two years into the marriage when John suddenly dies from a ruptured brain aneurysm. Overwhelmed by massive grief and severe survivor’s guilt over inheriting John’s title, lands, and wealth—and utterly terrified of his ongoing desire for John's grieving widow—Michael flees England for India.

The main timeline picks up four years later. Michael returns to London to finally assume his duties as the new Earl of Kilmartin. Meanwhile, Francesca has processed her mourning and decided she wants to re-enter society to find a husband so she can fulfill her deep dream of becoming a mother.
