    Summary

    Colin had been looking forward to this assignment for Lonely Planet for months, but everything had changed when his best friend, Penelope, blocked his number. How was he supposed to survive five whole months without talking to someone who means so much to him?

    OR

    The one where Penelope is pissed, Colin is depressed (and very very dumb), and I brush fifteen years of dust off the art history filing cabinet in my brain.

    Amid grief, buried secrets, and quiet resentment, Colin and Penelope must face trials that threaten to carve a growing abyss between them.
    Can a broken heart still find hope in the midst of mourning?
    Can a love that has lived quietly for years to survive amidst so much pain.

    Summary

    “Read it again Pen,” Colin said softly.

    She looked back at him, eyes wide and blinking, biting her lower lip, drawing in his attention.

    Until today, not an impure thought had passed through his mind of Penelope. He suddenly felt like the wind was knocked out of him. His eyes snapped up to hers, her blue eyes wide and blinking rapidly. He wasn’t sure what to say. It felt like the air had changed around them. All he could think about was her in that moment. Touching her hair, caressing her cheeks, kissing her lips.

    He took a deep breath. He could not make sense of the impulses he was having, “please, read it again.”

    She swallowed, turned back to the page, and started reading it again. He listened to her sweet voice recite the words of Byron. Did she pick this poem on purpose? ‘How could she’ he reasoned, ‘she’s never seen this book, how would she know’. He was so lost in thought; he didn’t realize she had finished. He wasn’t ready for her to stop reading, what was the last part? She looked over at him again. Had she moved closer to him? Or was he leaning into her?

    “Again,” He said, wondering if she could hear him as it came out almost as a whisper.

    Summary

    Upon hearing that the firstborn son of any of the Featherington daughters will inherit the title and estate, the men of the Ton turn their eyes upon the sole remaining young miss. For power, men will do terrible things.

    Penelope is tired, she is out of patience, and she has a deal to uphold. A final season in London with her mama, and she shall be free to do as she pleases. Portia thinks this is the perfect trap. Penelope thinks only of her hidden Whistledown funds and distant Scotland, far from London and the Bridgertons who have burned her terribly, yet still hold her heart. Her path is set, up until a courier arrives at the Featherington's country estate in December, bearing a gift and the promise of a reunion.

    Daphne Basset (Formerly Bridgerton) hears the news that her honorary sister is now the target of the worst men of the Ton. Knowing that Colin will go utterly mad upon realizing he is in fact in love with her in the face of such peril, and that Penelope is gravely endangered by this news, she begins to plan.

    A game is afoot in London, and Bridgertons never lose. But with unknown players on the board, will all go as planned or will scandal burn even the finest of families?
