   Summary

   Colin Bridgerton has a fiancée, a wedding to plan, and a best friend who has apparently decided he no longer exists.

   Penelope Featherington has stopped answering his calls. His messages go unanswered for hours. When she does reply, she's so polite he might as well be a stranger.

   He doesn't know what he did.

   Why has Penelope stopped talking to him? What could possibly have happened to make his best friend of fifteen years want nothing to do with him? And why does Eloise seem to know more than she's letting on?

   More importantly, how is Colin supposed to fix something when he doesn't even know what's broken?
