Summary
"What do you mean a cat got you married?"
Ten years ago, Colin Bridgerton discovered Penelope Featherington's secret identity and lost a fiancée (or two) to her pen. He has not spoken to her since... until her wedding morning, when he marches into her drawing room to relitigate a decade of grievances, cravat regrettably still tied.
Enters Beanie — full name Lady Imogene Bean Blackmoor Featherington-Whiskerstone — who takes one look at the furious Bridgerton and decides he must be removed. Several scratches, one ruined cravat, one compromised petticoat, and an extremely badly timed Archbishop later, Colin must marry the woman he has grown to despise.
And the cat, by mutual agreement (not really), the dowry.
And while the couple has absolutely no plans of falling in love, Lady Imogene Bean Blackmoor Featherington-Whiskerstone remains paw-sitively convinced it's only a matter of time. She has, after all, impeccable instincts for scratches, scandals, and happurrly-ever-after.
