    Summary

    Lady Danbury sets her tea cup in its saucer on the table and fixes Penelope with her intense gaze.

    "I'd like to sponsor you."

    Penelope chokes on her next swig of tea so badly that Lady Danbury rises, moving next to her and patting her back until her hacking abates. Penelope takes in a few steadying breaths, willing air into her lungs. She is sure she misheard, that the shock of her choking has altered her memory. "Pardon, my lady? You wish to…?"

    "Sponsor you. For the season."


    After Archibald Featherington loses the family fortune when Penelope is thirteen, the family is forced to adapt to life as members of the lower class. By nineteen, Penelope has become Madame Delacroix's apprentice, and her fine skills with a needle catch the eye of Lady Agatha Danbury. Debuting in society thrills and terrifies her in equal measure, as she knows nothing of how a proper lady should behave, but she wants nothing more than to escape from her cruel, embittered mother—and she is perfectly content to settle for a straightforward, comfortable marriage in order to do so.

    Enter Colin Bridgerton.

    Summary

    What began as whispers among the ton — rumors of a grand matchmaking ceremony decreed by the Queen — soon became reality. No one could predict who would be bound together under Her Majesty’s watchful eye, and Penelope Featherington dreaded the outcome as much as Colin Bridgerton resented the intrusion.

    When the night arrived, Penelope’s worst fears seemed inevitable… until the herald called Colin’s name, followed by hers. Stunned into disbelief, she could scarcely move until Lady Bridgerton urged her forward. Colin, already at her side, gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and stepped boldly before the throne — a silent promise that whatever came of this, she would not face it alone.

    From that moment, their bond shifted. Yet in the quiet of his own chamber, Colin’s thoughts betrayed him. He imagined what it would mean to cross that final boundary. To see Penelope not just as his dearest friend, but as his wife in every sense. The thought unsettled him, even as it stirred a desire he could no longer ignore.
