    Summary

    What if the arrival of servants had not interrupted what she was about to tell Colin…?

    AU following the events of Bridgerton Season 3, Episode 5, where Penelope confesses her deepest secret to Colin after giving him her heart - and her innocence. But instead of bringing them closer, her revelation shatters everything between them, leaving her heartbroken and alone.

    Two years later, Penelope has rebuilt herself piece by piece, burying her pain beneath the sharp wit of Lady Whistledown. When an unexpected encounter with the notorious Lord Fife ignites a passion she never dreamed possible, she begins to explore a side of herself she long believed unworthy of love or desire.

    A tale of heartbreak, healing, and the unexpected paths that lead to love.
