Summary
Penelope Featherington is a successful English teacher, Deputy Headteacher and single mum to an energetic 5 year old, Elliott. They venture to London for a few days of exploring and new experiences during the summer holidays.
Penelope’s plans include a trip to museums, a boat ride, culture and new foods. Elliott’s plans include seeing as many dinosaurs as possible and eating lots of ice cream.
What Penelope doesn’t expect however, is for her carefully managed and curated world to collide with the chaotic Bridgerton family due to chance meeting between Elliott and some of the next generation of Bridgertons.
Penelope has spent years building a coat of armour to protect herself, and by extension Elliott, from everything negative that the world could throw their way. She is determined to give Elliott a totally different upbringing from her own. Her suit of armour also serves to cover the mental and physical scars, and closely guarded secrets, that she carries thanks to her past.
Surely her armour can stay intact for a few days in London… surely?

Summary
"Those frivolous things distract," Eloise was angered. How could a woman, who had read such a treatise from one of their own, not understand the intent of her words?
Eloise leans forward, "Spending so much energy and time on painting and embroidering and other pretty chores just for the attention of a man. That they may deign to take up the burden that is marriage and children. What is a dowry if not a bribe from a father to a husband to rid himself of an unwanted daughter?"
As Eloise continued, her voice did not rise in volume, but it did in temperature. The lady's eyebrow rose higher and higher. She did not interrupt Eloise, but at the end of the eloquent speech, her eyes gained an understanding with a pitying expression. "Now I understand why you like this work," she tapped her hand on the stacked books, "You just like this author, hate women. You envision yourself as superior."
Eloise choked in shock from the conclusion reached.OR
I make myself feel better about Eloise's character flaws and season three's missteps.

Colin Bridgerton has always seen Penelope Featherington as just a friend—someone he enjoys spending time with, but never fully realizing how special she is to him.

But when Penelope makes her debut in society, things start to shift. With a few unexpected twists, what began as friendship slowly grows into something deeper, something neither of them fully understands. In this alternate universe of Bridgerton, where Penelope isn’t Lady Whistledown, their bond is tested by the complexities of love, identity, and family as they navigate the pressures of society and their own blossoming feelings for each other. Will they stay friends, or will their relationship evolve into something more? And can they handle the challenges that come with it?

Summary
In the year 1822, Mister Colin Bridgerton makes a grand return to England after almost 7 years of self imposed exile and reconnects with his estranged friend, Penelope. Will he be able to break the walls she keeps building between them and mend the bridges she is intent on destroying?
“What’s stopping you from living your life then, Pen? You’re living alone, aren’t you? No mother watching over your shoulder. No husband dictating your choices…”
“I mean, I can live alone, yes, but I’m still tethered. To reputation. To expectations. To the knowledge that no matter how independently I breathe, I will always be the subject of whispered pity or amusement. A woman alone is never just alone—she is sad, or defiant, or pitiful… never simply herself.”
“Come with me. For a month or two. See the world outside Mayfair parlours and boring soirees. You said you wanted to feel free. Let this be that.”
“But how? Where would we stay? What would people say, Colin? I’m not naïve—I know how this would look. Who would even accompany me as a chaperone?”
“Spinsters do not need chaperones, Pen. You said it yourself once.”

Summary
It was common amongst the 19th-century upper echelon to marry for duty. Anthony was no stranger to duty, having been forced into being a Viscount at the tender age of nine and ten. As the season's first ball approaches, Anthony enlists his mother's help to search for the perfect Viscountess. One fateful day at tea helps Anthony realize he has already met his perfect future wife.
The Featheringtons have a precarious financial situation. Thankfully, the two eldest daughters have already married, so the financial burden is lessened. Only their youngest, Penelope, is left on the market. To secure their future, they have begun searching for a husband on her behalf, whose pockets are deep enough to set Lord and Lady Featherington up for life.
Penelope refuses to marry anyone cruel, and Anthony refuses to marry for love.
