    Summary

    “Anthony may be thought of as the disciplinarian of the family but Benedict was no stranger to teaching lessons. An idea was already beginning to form.”

    Benedict finds Penelope hiding out during the first ball of the season and is not pleased when he learns why. So he has an idea and if that idea involves spending time with a lovely and available Penelope, well it’s all part of the plan.

     

    Like my other work (Time For A Change) but if Anthony worked things out with Kate and Benedict found Penelope at the beginning of season 3 instead. I was just not satisfied with Polin so I wrote these. It's a mix between the book and the show. Whistledown isn't as harsh and Eloise wouldn't have been able to keep the secret so isn't angry whenever she finds out in the future. Will most likely be spicy at some point.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has lived her life behind masks and secrets. But before she closes one chapter of her life forever, she dares to ask for something just for herself: one night, one first kiss, one memory she can keep. She never expected Benedict Bridgerton to say yes — or that he might be the one man who makes her wish for tomorrow.

    Summary

    The lemonade was more bitter than sweet. That should have been her clue.

    When the love for her killer turns to hate, revenge is taught by the only man who can understand her pain.

    Haunting your killer should have been easy, but when he falls in love with your ghost, as you fall in love with his ghostly brother, lines are crossed.

    Love in the afterlife.
