A Night Like This: A Smythe-Smith Quartet

From #1 New York Times bestselling author, and creator of the Bridgerton series, Julia Quinn presents the second, stunning installment in the Bridgerton adjacent Regency era-set world featuring the romantic adventures of the well-meaning but less-than-accomplished Smythe-Smith musicians. In this case, a distractingly lovely pianist sitting in at the annual Smythe-Smith musicale catches the eye of a haunted, hunted man in desperate need of redemption. Bridgerton fans will cry, "Encore!"

She might not be who she says she is...

But Anne Wynter is managing quite well as a governess to three highborn young ladies. Her job can be a challenge-- in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, portraying an evil queen in a play that might be a tragedy (or might be a comedy-- no one is sure), and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he's the first man who has truly tempted her, and it's getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman.

He might be in mortal danger...

But that's not going to stop Daniel Smythe-Smith from falling in love. And when the young earl spies a mysterious woman at his family's annual musicale, he vows to pursue her, even if that means spending his days with a ten-year-old who thinks she's a unicorn. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending...
