    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is excited for his book release party hosted by Danbury Publishing. He can’t wait for his best friend Penelope Featherington to arrive. There is only one tiny problem. She gets trapped in the freight lift with his past paramours or what could have beens.

    All the ladies who left him or chose not to date him because of her. Including her cousin Marina Thompson.

    While listening to them complain about Penelope, Colin can no longer hide that he has been in love with his best friend for much longer than he was willing to admit.
