Summary
The practice of highway robbery had long since died out in England by the 1810s; the last highwayman, Robert/James Snooks, having been hanged in 1802 for his crimes. These villains had sometimes been referred to as a ‘Gentleman of the Road’ and romanticised by many ordinary folk, but in 1814, a new villain began terrorising the roads around London. He was no manner of gentleman though. He was an utter rake.

Summary
When Penelope is kidnapped on the road to London, she doesn’t expect a swift rescue, if one comes at all. Then Colin Bridgerton comes crashing through the door, windswept, heartbreakingly heroic, and entirely too handsome for his own good—especially when she starts praising him for saving her life.
Now they’re stranded for the night with only one bed and Colin rapidly discovers that nothing tests his gentlemanly restraint like sharing close quarters with the one woman whose opinion has always mattered to him—especially when she won’t stop giving him those maddening compliments.

Summary
Penelope is not certain she likes this plan as it seems to mean Colin will not be signing her dance card. Again.
But Colin is resolute. He will stay home with their inconsolable, teething son. He must stay. His heart commands it.
Penelope will go to the masquerade ball alone. She must go. The Queen commands it.

“You have important work to do, my love,” he tells her with a soft smile. “Someone has to keep the Bridgerton-Featherington name in the Queen’s good graces. And I am certain that someone is you and not me. And definitely not Elliot, in his current mood.”
She smiles at him then, and Colin feels the warm glow of pride he always gets when he makes Penelope smile.
“You look ravishing, by the way.” His gaze drifts over her body, taking in her luscious curves. “I’m going to need to get a much closer look at you in that swashbuckling costume when our little Lord allows.”
