Summary
When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.
Or, a Jane Eyre Au.

Summary
Summer of 1817. Penelope is no longer a fixture of London’s marriage mart, by choice, not exile. Society barely remembers her, and that suits her well. She lives in the countryside now, in a small, ivy-covered cottage not far from the Granvilles’ estate, with her faithful maid and friend Rae at her side.
She has long since put Lady Whistledown to rest. Instead, she writes novels that sell well.
She has been part of the Granvilles’ world for two years now, and their parties, their freedom, their belief that art is not scandalous but sacred, feel more like home than Mayfair ever did.
Among painters and poets, natural philosophers and scandalous playwrights, Penelope is no longer the forsaken wallflower. She is simply Pen: a woman with ink-stained fingers and sun-kissed shoulders, who lives freely and speaks her mind. She has lovers when she wishes and none when she does not. Her life is full.
So when Benedict arrives at the Granvilles’ summer gathering, charming, disillusioned, still a little too tethered to expectation, it is not to rescue her, or fix her. It is to find himself increasingly fascinated by someone who has already found herself.

Summary
In July 1814, Benedict Bridgerton vanished from London society and entered a remote Irish Monastery, more out of defiance than devotion. After discovering a betrayal too great to forgive, he renounced art, family, and temptation alike, determined to prove he could become something more than a failed spare. But a year into his penance, with Anthony's letters growing colder and silence settling from home, Benedict finds himself imprisoned in a life he chose out of spite.
Then, she arrives.
Familiar, furious, shaking him to his core.
She is not there to repent. She seeks revenge on a world that caged her, on a God that ignored her cries, on the man who took her innocence and walked away unscathed.
In her, Benedict sees the ghost of his past, his sister’s best friend, his brother’s discarded ruin.As Penelope plots her escape, refusing his pity and scorning his penance, Benedict is drawn to her fire that refuses to be tamed. She does not want saving. But she might burn him, and everything else, to the ground.
