A Night Like This: A Smythe-Smith Quartet (Smythe-Smith Quartet, 2)

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, hes the first man who has truly tempted her, and its getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman. He might be in mortal danger But thats not going to stop Daniel Smythe-Smith from falling in love. And when the young earl spies a mysterious woman at his familys annual musicale, he vows to pursue her, even if that means spending his days with a ten-year-old who thinks shes 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
