   Summary

   Shy, sweet Colin Bridgerton has been in love with his little sister’s best friend, Penelope Featherington, ever since they were children but has never had the courage to tell her how he feels. Penelope, a popular, outgoing girl, is about to start her first year at uni, but before she heads to Oxford, she spends the summer at Aubrey Hall with her favorite family. In an attempt to increase Colin’s popularity with women, she offers to help him practice how to interact with girls, only to make the shocking discovery that she wants to be the one he’s pursuing instead…
