Summary
Penelope had no last name.
Left in the woods at only four years old to die, a now twenty-two year old Penelope has been travelling the continent as a healer, with no memory of her past, wanting nothing more than to help others and to protect her heart from any more of the loss and pain she had endured. That is until she meets a handsome nobleman in the markets and her entire world changes, and all the secrets that she had thought lost to the past are slowly revealed.

Summary
Sydney thinks that if she found out she was pregnant a little earlier she probably wouldn’t have gone through with it. Like, if she found out before her landlord changed the locks on her apartment, or before the bank sent her all those red letters, or before the pasta dried up, she’d probably have just taken herself to Planned Parenthood, popped the pills and charged it to the game. But as it is, the two blue lines appear on the stick during the worst months of her life, the first months of the pandemic when she’s unemployed and shit scared that her dad is going to get coronavirus and die. And when she sees them, she just thinks: well, this might as well happen. She was a disappointment before. What’s one more thing?
Before she meets Carmy, Sydney has a baby.

Summary
She wishes she could stay here forever. Hidden in plain sight. Lost in people and food and anything that wasn't him and that place. She could find a life for herself here. Start new but not so new because the Chicago Tribune has heralded her as the next up-and-coming chef and it's about fucking time. She could do tastings across each weekend and see her CIA friends after work -- work at Novitá or even Parm for all she cares. She could be really, really happy here.
But she sees blue eyes everywhere and the cola braise is still sitting in her fridge.

The Chicago Tribune review is posted. The kitchen goes to shit. Sydney flees to New York for a weekend. Carmy follows.

Summary
“Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”
Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.
He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”
Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.
