    Summary

Feeling utterly defeated, Penelope resigns herself to spinsterhood, eager to seek solace in the safety of the shadows.

    If only the third-born Bridgerton would stop trying to apologise.

    Summary

    “This is my fault,” the Viscount said. “I should have taken him to a brothel long ago.” He gulped down his drink. “I should take him now.”

     

    “What use would it have?” Benedict asked. “He’s already engaged, he’d reject the offer in favour of his beloved fiancé.”

     

    “Beloved?” Anthony laughed humorlessly. “He’s too green. I bet you all it’d take for him to abandon this nonsense is to find a willing girl to wet his wick with.”

     

    “What does that mean?” Penelope asked. She did not mean to, but the prospect of Colin saving himself from entrapment prompted her to blurt the question out.

     

    After accidently hearing a rather crude declaration from Colin's older brother, Penelope decides to put the put it to the test.

    Summary

    “I wish she was gone.” Penelope’s voice was low but sharp, her eyes peeking at him from below her lashes, almost black and infinitely intense as her mouth moved against his palm and her body became a tense line. He held her gaze, frantically searching her face in rhythm with his racing heart before she closed her eyes and sagged once more. When she looked at him again, the iciness had disappeared entirely and only tiredness remained.
    However, Colin felt alert, laser focused and centered once more. He took their clasped hands, that had drifted to their midriffs, and placed them on his chest, over the heart that beat for her.
    “I’ll do it.”

    or

    5 times Colin got away with murder and the one time Pen caught him.

    Summary

    At four-and-forty, Colin Bridgerton found himself wanting more from life than travel. Something steady. Something that lasted.

    What he didn’t expect was to propose to a freshly debuted girl—Penelope Featherington—in a desperate bid to salvage her reputation.

    Who cared about a twenty-seven-year age gap, anyway?
    Apparently, Colin did.
