    Summary

    “Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.

    Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.

    Penelope was ruined.

    Summary

    Of course there were rumors perpetuated about Penelope Featherington and Eloise Bridgerton amongst the wagging tongues of the mamas and gossips. Nothing of substance, just nods and winks about the “two women of no relation” who lived together during the off season. Penelope recognized their rumors as fear based murmurings rather than anyone with a true axe to grind (or information to trade) and steadfastly refused to print them in Whistledown both because everything they were insinuating was untrue and also because the last thing she wanted to do was draw further attention to the truth of her situation, which was more complicated (and scandalous) than any of those mamas would have ever expected.
    And if there was proof, it was staring Penelope right in the face in the form of her pristine white sheets.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton objectively has a very cool job and a very cool life. He jets around the globe as a travel photographer, visiting the most beautiful and historic locales and literally get paid to do it. And yet, he couldn’t be more bored these days. That’s how he finds himself crashing in his sister’s spare room in an attempt to figure out what the hell he wants to do next. While he attempts to renew his enthusiasm for the career that once brought him so much joy or decide on making a change of some kind, he’s looking forward to a relaxing few weeks (maybe a few months even) spending time with his family and his best friend Penelope Featherington. Colin is anything but relaxed, however, when he finds out that shy, sweet, soft-spoken Pen has been hiding a career change of her own from him—a very lucrative and very surprising career at that.
