   Summary

   Three millstones dropped from her neck in one day, her unmasking to the Queen as Whistledown, her confession to Eloise and finally, the release of her poor unrequited heart from the clutches of Colin Bridgerton.

   And now it was time.

   Time to escape her miserable home life, to leave her mother and finally embrace her spinsterhood.
