How can he finish medical school with a wife? And “It would be like marrying my sister,” he argues. Though sorry for Georgie, Nicholas is angry that his parents expect him to make this sacrifice. She kicked him in a most sensitive place, tied him up, and with the help of a young Lady Dansbury (a fixture in the Bridgerton novels), made her escape. It seems she was kidnapped by a suitor, who attempted to take her to Gretna Green to elope. Once there, his parents ask him-although it’s more like an order-to offer for Georgiana Bridgerton. His father didn’t give an explanation, and Nicholas is missing lectures and examinations to make the journey. This is inconvenient, since he’s a medical student in Edinburgh, and his family lives in Kent. The book opens with Nicholas, who has received an urgent message from his father to come home immediately. Their families are neighbors and longtime friends. ![]() Her latest, First Comes Scandal: A Bridgerton Sequel, is the story of Georgiana Bridgerton (sister of the doomed Edmund) and Nicholas Rokesbury.
