Summary
“Oh.” Eloise sat back and raised a hand to her mouth, considering. “That is a neat solution. If you two were married, then our troubles would no longer plague us.”
“Pardon?” Penelope said, heartbeat thudding in her ears.
“Excuse me?” Colin said at the very same moment.
Despite knowing that this is an awful idea, Penelope agrees to a marriage of convenience. She settles into an idyllic house in the countryside to await letters from her husband travelling abroad.
Time will tell whether the marriage proves truly convenient—or something more than any of them could have anticipated.

Summary
"I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.
"Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.
It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.
"Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.
"No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

Summary
“This is not happening Colin. I am not going to play any part in this, do you hear me?”
“Of course, nobody would expect you to fall over at my feet, especially in light of my unforgivably rude comments last Season.” Colin said, all reason and calm as he collected his hat from a footman, “And what would be the entertainment in that? You must be permitted to test my mettle as a suitor. Indeed I am beginning to look forward to the chase.”
“There will be no entertainment! No chase!” Penelope protested, panic steadily rising within her. “Colin-”
“Good day, Miss Penelope.” Colin smiled, familiar laughter and devilry dancing on his handsome face. She watched in mute outrage as he tipped his hat to her and strolled out her front door.
After his careless words ruined Penelope's prospects on the marriage mart, Colin is determined to do everything he can to restore her reputation and to find her a good match, even if it means pretending to court his best friend.
However, outside forces with a grudge against the Bridgertons inadvertently transforms a wallflower into the most coveted prize of the London Season of 1815.
