    Summary

    Five years ago, the small, affluent New England town of Mayfair was shocked when a wealthy heiress disappeared. As the case developed, tensions divided the quiet town where reputation is everything. Rumors swirled and accusations cracked the happy facade. And then it all faded away as the world busied itself adjusting to a pandemic and a new way of life, leaving the case unsolved.

    Now, Penelope Featherington has returned to Mayfair to attend Queens College, transferring in on a scholarship for the investigative journalism program. Unable to let go of the past, she is determined to look deeper into the unsolved crime. As she digs deeper, she finds herself reuniting with the Bridgerton family, who are just as connected to the case as they are to her own past. Penelope wrestles with old feelings for Colin Bridgerton as she attempts to focus on her investigation. But she soon finds that there are people in Mayfair who don't want her digging any deeper, and there may be more than one secret hiding among New England's wealthiest families.
