Summary
“In retrospect, Penelope shouldn’t have been that surprised at Colin Bridgerton propositioning her. She just wishes she hadn’t been wearing a stained sweatshirt and musty, third-day-worn leggings when he did.”
Last summer, Penelope’s family was cast out of upper class society after her cousin disappeared into the night with half the town’s money. Coupled with an explosive fallout with Eloise, Pen is sure she’s doomed to rot away in a dilapidating manor. Her luck turns around when Colin returns from his latest jaunt abroad. He makes Pen an offer: pose as his companion for the summer and he’ll help restore her family’s reputation, all while paying her way for dinners, dances, dresses and more. It’s harmless fun for the summer, free from expectations and attachments. But when their transactional relationship starts to skirt something more, her secrets and his skeletons threaten to tear the two apart for good.
