    Summary

    “How could you?” Colin asks, voice faint, but slowly growing in volume as he continues. “You…everything you have written, all the lives you have destroyed…How could you?”

    “I never meant to…” Penelope says, trialing off. She is shaking, her shoulders trembling and eyes filling with tears. “You do not understand, Colin—”

    “—of course I do not understand,” He interjects quickly. “What is there to understand, Penelope? You…What you have done…”

    Summary

    Penelope is convinced to attend the university’s annual winter carnival under the promise she’ll see the rarely-in-London-anymore Colin Bridgerton. When she does spot him, however, he’s running the football team’s kissing booth.

    Which makes her want to throw up, quite frankly.

    Perplexingly, it also puts certain things in motion Colin discovers he is not prepared for.

    Summary

    "You are not a slave, you are not bound by chains," he says, grabbing the plate from the bed. "You are able to do as you please."

    Whatever she wants? She can leave this room? She is not bound here? There will not be guards ordering her where to go? Or someone running after her the moment she steps away?

    "There must be more."

    "No," Colin shakes his head, placing the dish in the basin. "You will want for nothing here. That is all that is needed of you."

    "There—there must be more to this," Penelope insist. "I must know why."

    "You are to be my wife."

    The one where Penelope Featherington is arranged to marry former Gladiator Colin Bridgerton.
