Eager to free himself of the burden of his cousin’s wife and daughters he sets about arranging a marriage for the eldest daughter with an old friend, paying the dowry for the second-born daughter and declaring their mother their burden as he saw them wed.

When the 1814 social season begins, and one Eloise Bridgerton tries to call on her friend she is informed that Miss Penelope has moved on and the Bridgerton family have never seen nor heard from their friend since. That is, until 8 years have passed, and the Lady Kathani Bridgerton is in search of a governess for her young daughter.

    Summary

    Colin has no memory of his life before the orphanage—and he prefers it that way. The past holds nothing for him; his future is all that matters. Smuggling contraband across the border of two warring nations is dangerous, but it’s the fastest way to earn enough gold to escape the city with his closest friend, Penelope.

    But when Penelope’s hidden past comes crashing into their carefully built lives, the two are forced to flee—and straight into the hands of the Bridgerton royal family. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Colin must confront a past he thought he could outrun, and a destiny he never chose.

    (I am currently in the process of rewriting this, so if you see it pop up again, that's why. Check the author's note.)
