   Summary

   Penelope Featherington meets Colin Bridgerton on an ordinary Sunday afternoon, parting with the promise to see him again and filled with hope for the future. But after tragedy strikes, everything changes, and Penelope and her family unexpectedly find themselves in the midst of the Bridgerton family, who accept them with open arms and open hearts. The question is - will Penelope allow herself to be loved and taken care of in the way she's only ever dreamed of, or will the guilt she feels for moving forward lead to more than just her own broken heart?
