    Summary

    Benedict convinces his family to attend a traveling carnival in Mayfair, another one of his increasingly desperate attempts to lift Penelope’s spirits, to earn back the smile that vanished the moment Portia Featherington orchestrated her engagement to Colin. Sealing all three of their fates. Penelope, bound to marry the one man who once scorned her publicly. Colin, tied to a woman he does not love. And Benedict, left to fall for his brother’s betrothed.

    So he promises them all a night of laughter and lightness. Just one evening.

    He drags Penelope, playfully, into an Oracle’s tent tucked at the edge of the carnival, yet another small attempt to coax a laugh from her. The Oracle offers a strange tea, claiming it will reveal their future. Everyone finds it ridiculous, amusing. Benedict drinks it easily.

    What he sees in the candlelight shakes him to his core: Penelope, not as his brother’s fiancée, but as his wife. In his bed. In his arms. Moaning his name like it belongs to her alone. A life with her, so vivid it feels like memory.

    When he returns to himself, heart pounding, he realizes, from the way Penelope is staring at him, wide-eyed and scarlet-faced, that she saw it too.

    Summary

    "It was supposed to say 'Happy Birthday'." said Reenie, sulking. And dammit if he doesn't find himself thinking about how cute it is. Her face is pinched and her mouth twisted into a frown, but Colter can see the humor that dances behind her eyes.

    Colter feels his brow arch as he offers her the first slice. "But it doesn't, and now you've learned the very important lesson of checking the cake before leaving the bakery."

    Summary

    Penelope finds that she can no longer publish under Portia Featherington's nose.

    Violet Bridgerton can no longer tolerate her unmarried children rampaging through good society and Benedict pays for his brothers' mistakes.

    Genevieve Delacroix believes she can kill many a bird with a single marriage.

    __

    “It really would take far too long for your thoughts to catch up with mine.”

    “You’re talking about me taking a wife again?” Benedict studied Genevieve’s all too-knowing smile. “You mean…” He looked down the hall. “You’re suggesting I marry Penelope?”

    “Am I as mad as Lord Fife?” Genevieve asked warningly.
