    Summary

    What if the story was inverse?

    Penelope Featherington is admired and highly sought after in society while being friends with the unfashionable and garish Bridgerton family. There is a special friendship of more than ten years with Eloise and Colin in particular since they are the siblings closest in age to her and her brother.

    Yet what Penelope thinks is friendship is the deepest of unrequited love for Colin...until he overhears her put the final nail in his coffin of hope and he finally accepts that it's time to give up that dream.

    His final farewell and cold goodbye leaves Penelope's head spinning with unbidden thoughts and Colin is unsure if he can find anyone else that speaks to his heart as she always has.

    The timing of this finding is most inconvenient because there is no true escape for him since he is spending the off-season with her family in the country and avoiding her seems impossible - no matter how hard he tries.

    Summary

    Penelope, sweet Penelope, lay spread across her bed, bathed in the faint golden glow of the hearth. Her skin glimmered in the dim light, flushed and dewy, as though the heavens themselves had cast her in gold.

    She was perfect. A dream. A goddess spun from his most fevered fantasies.

    Except for the fact that there was a man on top of her.

    ***

    Colin’s fists clenched at the man’s shoulders, his gaze never wavering. “Give me one good reason why I ought not to duel him. He is a cad, Penelope. A rogue.”

    Penelope shook her head urgently, hair tumbling about her shoulders, wide-eyed and imploring. “Colin, he is you.”
