Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friends brother for... well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles upon his deepest secret...and fears she doesnt know him at all. Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of the neverending sameness of his life, and, most of all, tired of everyones preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who cant seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad, he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same - especially Lady Penelope Featherington! The girl who was always simply...there is suddenly the girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers the Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide...is she his biggest threat - or his promise of a happy ending?
