    Summary

    Penelope Featherington.
    An heiress. A surgical resident. Newly alone in the world.
    Her parents and sisters died in a freak avalanche during a cheerful family ski trip. Penelope survived only because she’d stayed behind at the lodge that morning.

    Now, dealing with survivors guilt, she works hard to save lives in the hospital during the day, chases deadly thrills at night, spending her days in a kind of muted haze.

    That’s when she first hears of The Crimson Veil—a private club whispered about in the darker corners of the city. Rumours say the owner is either a criminal mastermind or a fallen aristocrat. Whatever he is, he’s dangerous.

    Summary

    They started the dance silently. She wondered why he had bothered to ask her to dance at all if he didn’t want to talk. There was so much left to say, but none of it in polite company. And, most importantly, none of what she had to say mattered now. They were both married.

    “I almost forgot to congratulate you-”
    “You do not need to.”
    “But I must-” She insisted.

    “I’d really rather you didn’t.” He said sternly. Colin’s face was unreadable as he couldn’t meet her eyes. Instead she stared at his clenched jaw. She supposed she wouldn’t have wanted his congratulations either after her own wedding, not that he tried to offer any.
    ---
    1814: Colin Bridgerton realizes he is in love. It should be a joyful time, but with competition for Pen's hand and secrets that threaten to ruin them, the pair's far from a happily ever after.

    1816: Penelope Debling is trying to make peace with her new life as a Countess running an estate for an absent husband. She is determined to feel content, but when she has to host Colin Bridgerton, old feelings threaten to unravel her.

    This story will be told in 2 alternating timelines (complete with double ch drops!) until the first timeline catches up to 1816.
