Summary
Former inspector Colin Bridgerton is having trouble adjusting to civilian life after being forced to leave his job with the metropolitan police. Shadows from unsolved cases will not quit following him and he unwittingly ends up in the middle of a murder investigation when a member of the peerage is brutally murdered in his own home.
As he delves deeper into the case and more bodies begin showing up, he uncovers a dark web of secrets that lead him to Lady Whistledown; the mysterious madam who runs one of the most high profile and exclusive brothels in the London underworld.
His investigation leads him to corrupt officials, hidden motives, secret liaisons, and a mystery that goes higher than he realized. He quickly discovers that this woman isn’t what she seems and they must work together to solve this mystery and stay alive.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

Summary
“Hey,” Colin said sheepishly, anxiously brushing his hand behind his neck. “I’ll take your virginity if — you know — if you want me to.”
Platonic sex, sex between friends, friends having platonic sex.
It won’t be a problem, right?
Or the classic: ‘I’ll take your virginity but don’t fall in love with me” finds everything they’re looking for in a person who ‘just wants to get over with having sex for the first time so they can get over the mental hurdle and start dating around.”

Summary
Penelope thinks it’s just one of those wrong place, wrong time situations. She really does.
Because she’s not sure how else she ends up getting invited along on the yearly Bridgerton getaway and, moreso, how she ends up agreeing. She knows it’s a horrid idea, no matter how nice three weeks at a Sicilian villa sound. Honestly, she’s not sure she’ll be able to last three weeks seeing Colin Bridgerton shirtless under the Italian sun, which is why she finds herself glaring daggers at the man right now.
(*)
or: the one where Penelope gets invited along on the Bridgerton holiday and has to guide her relationship with Colin through a landmine of Bridgerton meddling.
