La otra Miss Bridgerton

Independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only marry a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her. And, unfortunately, none of the attendees of the London season have lived up to the expectations of it. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy discovers a smuggler's hideout hidden in a cave. But her excitement is transformed into shock when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard their ship, leaving her gagged in the captain's bed... With a reputation as a rascal and reckless sailor, Captain Andrew James Rockesby actually works in the service of the British government transporting essential goods and documents. Sailing on an urgent mission to Portugal, he is stunned to find a woman waiting for him in her cabin. Surely her imagination is betraying him, but... no, she is very real. And if he wants to fulfill her duty to the Crown, he will have no choice but to remain trapped with her. Can two mistakes become the most perfect success? When Andrew discovers that Poppy is a Bridgerton, he knows that he will probably have to marry her to avoid a scandal... although she is unaware that Andrew is the son of an earl and the neighbor of her aristocratic Kent cousins. On the high seas, the dialectical battle between the two soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew's secret comes out, will his declaration of love be enough to trap Poppy's heart?
