First Comes Scandal: A Bridgerton Prequel―A Historical Romance of Abduction, Choices, and Unexpected Love

She was given two choices...

Georgiana Bridgerton isn€t against the idea of marriage. She€d just thought she€d have some say in the matter. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she€s abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life.

Enter Option #3

As the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he€s close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time€"or interest€"to find a wife. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton€"his literal girl-next-door€"is facing ruin, he knows what he must do.

A Marriage of Convenience

It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she€d say no. Georgie doesn€t want to be anyone€s sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends... or could they?

But as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. First comes scandal, then comes marriage. But after that comes love...
