    Summary

    Before he became the duty-bound Viscount seeking a perfect wife, Anthony Bridgerton was a shattered young man barely holding himself together. Before she sharpened her quill as Lady Whistledown, Penelope Featherington was a quiet girl whose greatest champion was the late Edmund Bridgerton.
    An encounter steeped in grief and fear binds their stories together in ways only they understand, setting the stage for years of unspoken history and unexpected feelings. Through grief, pain, and misplaced anger, their paths continue to cross until, eventually, they collide.

    I would shout about this fic from atop roofs if I could. Such an incredible read that it pains me that it doesn’t have more attention. A Penthony must!

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has tried both subtly and not-so-subtly to tell Colin that her cousin is pregnant with another man’s child and wants to pass the child off as Colin’s with a hasty marriage to hide the deception. However, no matter what she tells him, her friend is unwilling to see her actions as anything else but jealousy and a want of Colin for herself.

    In a last-ditch effort to save Colin from a horrible marriage and a life of painful obligation should the deception come to light, she slips out of her family’s Mayfair home the night before Colin and Marina have agreed to run away to Gretna Green to elope… set on publishing a last-minute edition of Lady Whistledown’s column bringing light to Marina’s duplicitous acts. But, as she stands there in the dark of the Mayfair street, she decides to choose another option instead; an option that in one night brings change the likes of which she never imagined and the sort of love that will last a lifetime.
