Lady Whistledown cost his match with Edwina Sharma. Thirsty for revenge, he finds out her true identity. And tonight, during the Hearts and Flowers Ball, she will walk into the trap he's laid.

    Summary

    After hearing Colin declare he would never dream of courting her, Penelope Featherington fled into the night with a bottle of wine, hoping to numb the pain. She hadn't planned on falling asleep in the middle of the woods.

    Anthony Bridgerton's season-long romance with Kate Sharma was at an end and he was heartbroken. ON a walk to clear his head, he encountered a sleeping Pen. As he escorted her home, he began to see that there might be more to the shy wallflower than he first thought. WIth her sweet countenance and spine of steel, she would be the perfect Viscountess Bridgerton, as long as he could keep those pesky feelings at bay and remember that this was an arrangement of mutual convenience. Pen wanted to get out from her mother's thumb, and he wanted to have a wife and be out of the marriage mart for good. They had no business falling in love along the way.
