   Summary

   The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Colin Bridgerton is full of those.

   Loving Penelope has always been the easiest thing he's ever done. Helping her love herself proves infinitely harder.

   When an attempt to heal years of self-loathing leaves them both heartbroken, Colin is forced to confront a painful truth: Good intentions aren't the same as understanding.

   Or: the one where Colin learns that communication is sexier than grand gestures.
