   Summary

   Colin Bridgerton believed he was doing the right thing when he proposed to Marina Thompson. That illusion shatters the moment he overheard Penelope pleading with his fiancée to reveal some truth to him.

   Threatened with ruin and cornered by a scandal already brewing, Colin offers the only solution he can see: he will marry Penelope Featherington instead, turning a looming disgrace into a respectable match.

   Or chaos Colin escapes being entrapped by entrapping his dear friend Penelope into marriage.
