    Summary

    Penelope Featherington risks everything to expose Marina Thompson’s scheme to trap Colin Bridgerton in a false marriage without using Lady Whistledown. Torn between her love for Colin, her loyalty to the Bridgertons, who have treated her as one of their own, and her own family, Penelope’s actions unravel trust, push the Featheringtons toward ruin, and force the Bridgertons to confront their own failings. Meanwhile, Anthony Bridgerton grapples with the consequences of his decisions as head of the family, realizing too late the damage caused by his misguided attempts to protect them. Amid scandal and sacrifice, each must face hidden truths and the cost of loyalty.

    Summary

    “Pen, please, can we still be friends?” he pleaded.

    “Don’t you understand?” she said, looking at him. “I’m no longer friends with Eloise. I don’t see what role you could possibly have in my life now.”

    “What happened between you and Eloise is between the two of you, Pen. You’ll always be someone special to me.”

    __________

    Fed up with the situation after confronting Colin about what he had said about her last season, Penelope wanted to sever all ties with him. However, a misunderstanding led the Queen to insist on them marrying each other.

    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton, warden of a women’s prison, is the embodiment of control—stoic, unflinching, and untouchable.

    At least, that’s what everyone thinks.

    But Penelope Featherington, better known as the infamous ‘Lady Whistledown’—the criminal mastermind behind countless high-stakes heists—sees right through him.

    She doesn’t call him Warden Bridgerton. No, she calls him *Daddy*.

    And, much to his dismay—or perhaps his delight—he finds he doesn’t mind it one bit.

    Summary

    After a carriage accident left Colin Bridgerton stranded in the middle of nowhere, his only saving grace seemed to be a red-haired woman that lived in a secluded house down the village.

    At first, she appeared to be an innocent young woman who seemed fearful of her own shadow and who was glad to finally have some company. But as time went by and he did his best to fight the temptation that was his savior, Colin was beginning to suspect she might not be as innocent as he once thought.

    Summary

    In a world of political intrigue and hidden powers, Colin Bridgerton, the third son of a powerful family, had been blessed—or cursed—with a grace similar to the most cruel king in the history- King Leck’s. He could control minds through the power of his words alone. But unlike Leck, Colin was not considered a cruel man, at least not openly. The people around him trusted his charm, his easy smile. But no one knew just how deeply his influence ran, or how carefully he wielded his grace for his own advantage. Yet, for all his power, there was one person who seemed completely immune to his abilities: Penelope Featherington. What was it about her that made her untouchable, and what secret grace did she possess that even Colin couldn’t penetrate?

    Summary

    Colin’s hand flinched but his eyes remained closed. Having a reaction from Colin put a smile on Penelope’s face and it's not even a half of what she's planning to do to him. She was unaware when it did start to want him so bad that she could not avoid it anymore. It became a need. She tried to bury it deep in her along with her love to the point that it suffocates her. But now she was done hiding, she needed to breathe, she needed to release it. She desired him violently and now there is no stopping her. Not even Colin.

    Or Penelope was done waiting so she takes what she wants.

    Summary

    Colin is not obsessed, but he has noticed that Penelope’s lips have always been tainted red ever since her presentation. It is quite striking against her porcelain skin and fiery red hair — it draws the eye, that is for certain.

    As temptation prevails and a kiss is shared under the moonlight, deeply buried feelings begin to unravel. Night after night, Colin is haunted by dreams of crimson lips, pearly white teeth, and a passion that leaves him breathless.

    Yet, something unsettling lingers behind the dreams. As the days pass, and the line between reality and fantasy starts to blur, his mind spirals into unnatural territory. He wonders if her lips bear the colour of something… more eternal than red paint. And that perhaps, it is not truly him she desires, but rather something he possesses.

    Summary

    Penelope knows Colin better than anyone, from his desire to travel to his deepest insecurities. He does not know that she has been deeply in love with him for several years, and she would like to keep it that way so their friendship stays as it is.

    Colin cares for Penelope. He enjoys her quick wit and sharp tongue, and likes that she does not show them to just anyone. He feels immensely protective of her, and wants better for her than what her family can provide.

    From the very start, they are willing to do anything for one another.

    The descent into their mutual inferno is a slow, steep spiral.

    Summary

    “Penelope—”

    “No,” she interrupted, eyes blazing. “You want to talk of entrapment? What about you, Colin? Who was the one who begged me not to accept Lord Debling’s proposal? You were the one who could not bear to let me go. Yet now you stand here, speaking of duty and honour like some tragic martyr. Do not pretend that I am the villain of this tale.”

    Or:
    Penelope doesn’t take Colin’s comment about entrapment well and he sees a new (rather a dark version of Penelope he’d never seen before).
