    Summary

    When Penelope Featherington made her debut into society, she harbored no great expectations. She had resigned herself to the notion that her beauty was unlikely to draw a admirers. Yet, she found solace in one constant: Colin Bridgerton, was always there to claim her hand for a dance.
    But with Colin’s attentions fixed on Marina Thompson, Penelope knew her heart was destined for heartbreak. How, then, had she found herself in the dimly lit garden with Colin’s fervent plea? He begged her—her—to ensnare him in marriage, not Marina.
    "Pen, I implore you—trap me in a marriage instead! I beg of you!"

    Summary

    “...we invest the said Mr. Colin Bridgerton, and the lawful heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, to the dignity, title, style, and honor of Marquess of Hartleigh…”

     

    His throat had gone dry. The words on the page did not make sense to him.
    “Um,” he tried, chuckling hoarsely. “Your Majesty, what is - I don’t…”
    “Yes?”
    Eloquence escaped him. “…what is this?”
    The Queen looked mildly annoyed. “Why, I should think it is obvious. You, Mr. Bridgerton, are to be the next Marquess of Hartleigh.”

    One accidental act of heroism, and Colin Bridgerton finds himself elevated to the British peerage. Yet the Queen’s reward comes with a price: as the newly minted Lord Hartleigh, he’s been given an ultimatum - produce an heir within the next eighteen months. And, of course, to do so, he requires a wife. Urgently.

    So why can’t he just pick a debutante and be done with it? And why is he far more interested in spending time in the very enjoyable company of his very good friend, Penelope Featherington?

    Summary

    The course of a life can change in mere moments, as more than a few mismatched couples can attest...

    - Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers

    Penelope intervenes when a scheming young miss would have trapped Colin into marriage—by taking her place. The best that she can hope for is a marriage of avoidance, rather than outright resentment.

    Colin is rescued from entrapment and considers himself the most fortunate of men. If only he could stop malicious gossipmongers such as Lady Whistledown from speaking so unkindly about his future wife.
