    Summary

    DEAREST GENTLE READER,
    Ambitious Mamas rejoice! For the new Duke of Hastings has graced our fair city with his presence...His Grace exchanged pleasantries with plenty of our fine ladies, ever the consummate gentleman. And if his title or debonair countenance wasn’t enough, our fair Duke seems to also enjoy charity work! He was spotted on the dance floor, twirling a rather unassuming young lady in a most unfortunate canary frock. The name of the debutante is unknown and irrelevant to this author, except for the announcement that came at the end of their dance. The Duke is on the hunt for his Duchess this season! One can only sympathize with the canary dressed debutante on what was likely her only twirl with His Grace, as he was swept away by this season’s newly debuted beauties immediately afterwards. This author wonders which brazen matchmaker shall rise to the challenge, for this competition is sure to cut a few innocent throats.
    Yours In Suspense,
    Lady Whistledown

    Summary

    It was never meant to be answered.

    When Penelope Featherington sends a single, impulsive letter to the most unattainable man in London, she does so believing herself safe behind ink and anonymity.

    After all, Simon Basset is not a man who entertains strangers nor one who invites attachment.

    But he answers.

    And with each letter that follows, the distance between them narrows in ways neither can control, nor fully understand.

    Hidden behind careful words and guarded truths, a connection forms, one that may prove far more dangerous than any scandal.

    Because it is one thing to be unseen.

    It is quite another… to be known.

    Summary

    At a Featherington ball in July of 1814, Colin Bridgerton makes one unfortunate mistake: he assumes Penelope Featherington cannot hear him.

    Matters deteriorate rapidly thereafter.

    Or: Penelope publicly eviscerates several gentlemen at a ball, society loses its collective mind, and Sebastian St Clair, Earl of Fife, discovers that being verbally destroyed by a clever woman is very much his particular interest.
