    Summary

    In her third season, Penelope Featherington finds herself once again at the mercy of London’s relentless matchmaking mamas, none more determined than her own. Portia Featherington, resolute in her ambition, has secured a match for her daughter with a man of considerable wealth, but his fortune comes with a sinister reputation—he is known as a notorious abuser of his late wife.

    As whispers of this unsavory arrangement spread, London society is thrown into disarray when Colin Bridgerton, fresh from his travels, makes a shocking declaration at a ball. With all the confidence of a true Bridgerton, he announces that he and Penelope have been secretly engaged before his departure and that their wedding is set for one month hence. The revelation sends shockwaves through the ton, leaving them to wonder: Is this a genuine betrothal, or a ruse to save a lady in distress? Oh, what delicious chaos will ensue!

    Note:
    There is Whistledown here but It’s not Penelope, this fic will focus on other conflict. Peneloise are still bestfriends because I can’t separate this two lovelies I’m sorry.
