Quick recap

In 1786, Poppy Bridgerton, a cousin of the Kent Bridgertons, wants a husband who can keep up with her mind. Walking the Dorset coast, she finds a smugglers' cave, gets captured and is carried onto a ship. Its captain, Andrew James Rokesby, has a rogue's reputation but secretly carries goods and papers for the British government, and he can't delay the voyage to Portugal. The two are stuck on the same ship, trading barbs and long talks. When Andrew learns she's a Bridgerton, he knows he'll have to marry her to avoid a scandal. In the end, he declares himself for real, and Poppy says yes.
