   Summary

   Colin Bridgerton has just realised he is in love with his best friend, Penelope. But why is she shimmying up over the Cowper’s rubbish bins, about to sneak into their exclusive charity gala? And will helping her with the burglary (correction, reclaiming something Cressida has stolen) impress her enough to win Colin a real date?

   One night. One party. Two idiots.

   It’s the heist of the (gala) season, and everything will go to plan. Won’t it?
