Summary
Penelope Featherington has finally stepped into the spotlight, dazzling Mayfair with wit, warmth, and a string of eager suitors. But behind the fanfare, she leans on the one person who’s always seen her clearly: the shy, unassuming Colin Bridgerton, her oldest friend and most unexpected ally.
When Colin offers to pose as her suitor to help her navigate the marriage mart, their arrangement sets off a quiet storm of longing, loyalty, and self-discovery. As Penelope faces the pressure of choosing a future, and Colin wrestles with what it means to be chosen, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.
Set against a backdrop of scandal, secrets, and lemon cake, this is a story of quiet devotion, missed signals, and the kind of love that hides in plain sight.
