Francesca’s love story is the focus of author Julia Quinn’s sixth Bridgerton novel, “When He Was Wicked“.

As it turns out, Francesca does marry John Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin. But their love story is shortlived.

John suddenly and tragically dies, leaving Francesca a widow just like her mother.

However, while mourning the loss of her husband, Francesca finds comfort in John’s cousin, Michael Stirling. The majority of the book explores the complexity of the pair starting their own romance after John’s death. Eventually, all works out and the pair get married.
