The Queen names her diamond, and your hosts are mostly just confused as to the whats, hows, and whys of diamond status. Meanwhile, Kate and Anthony continue to clash and it’s honestly the best foreplay we’ve seen on screen in a long time. It’s Bridgerton Season 2, episode 2 and listeners, we are off to the races!

This episode is brought to you by Kensington Books author Kat Martin and her new series of high-octane romantic thrillers, pairing bone-chilling adventure with pulse-raising romance. The first book The Last Goodnight moves from Colorado’s cattle country to the high rises of Denver as Kade, a rancher with secrets in his past, and Eleanor, a talented private investigator track down a murderer with close ties to Kade. The second book, The Last Mile, just released, adds a little Indiana Jones energy to the romantic thriller genre, as Abigail, an ordinary woman with an extraordinary family heirloom, must pair up with rogueish treasure hunter Gage Logan. You can find out more about Kat and her tense, steamy stories on her website, katmartin.com
