    Summary

    She was sure beyond sureness that she’d already experienced heartbreak. It had been excruciating and unhurried, drawing out each tear like blood from a dull blade.
    How very foolish she’d been.
    Every ounce of pain she’d ever experienced had been collected and diluted into one harrowing moment as she learned the true nature of heartbreak: swift, staggering, and served with contrition as Colin Bridgerton appeared at her door in the dead of night.
    “Penelope,” he said her name as if it was an apology. “I have an affair of honour as soon as the sun rises.”

    Or: Colin is set to duel in mere hours. How will he and Penelope spend their first (and perhaps last) night together?
