   Summary

   After an unfortunate encounter forces Anthony and Penelope to get engaged, Penelope is invited to spend time with the family at Aubrey Hall to learn how to be a Viscountess, and to get to know her soon-to-be husband. Things get off to an awkward start, with each blaming themself for the forced engagement. They struggle finding common ground, anything to build a life on.

   Out of desperation, Penelope challenges Anthony to read one of her favorite novels: The Mysteries of Udolpho. To her great surprise, he does. And he has thoughts. This opens the door to a new understanding between them. One that will force them to see each other through new eyes.
