    Summary

    "I do prefer it... rough. Do you think you can be rough, Mr Bridgerton?"

    After a decade's exile, Dowager Penelope Harrington returns to London's gilded ballrooms for her stepdaughter's debut, only to find Colin Bridgerton relentlessly pursuing the shadows of their lost friendship. When past intimacies ignite into present desire, they forge an agreement: pleasure without love, bodies entwined but hearts untouched. Yet as the season unfolds in whispered scandals and stolen midnight hours, their carefully constructed walls begin to crumble.
