    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton was never supposed to confide in Penelope Featherington. But between the lines of their letters and the spaces between their meetings, something tender takes root.
    As seasons change and scandals rise, they remain each other’s quiet constant—until friendship begins to look an awful lot like love.

    ---

    “You write like a man twice your age,” Penelope scrawled at the bottom of her reply.

    Anthony’s next letter arrived with only one line:
    “That’s rich coming from a woman who hides behind an alias to scold the entire ton.”

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is nineteen, and officially on the shelf. After her falling out with Eloise, she is surprised, once the season begins again, that her best friend forgives her. The largest party that season is to be the Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton’s masquerade ball, which Penelope attends, dressed as a woodland nymph. After a night of passion with a gentleman dressed as Puck, the pair (reluctantly on the part of Puck) go their separate ways, leading Penelope to find herself in a compromising situation just a few weeks later, during a double wedding ceremony. Who, if anyone, can help her out of this predicament?
