   Summary

   Friendship is a convenient veil—until someone dares to lift it. Benedict Bridgerton thought he knew Penelope Featherington, until a heated confrontation proved he knew nothing at all. Now, he’s determined to prove he’s more than a mere sketch of a man, and she’s more than just a "dear friend."
