    Summary

    1813. Eloise pulls away and destroys her friendship with Theo using one word: absurd. He walks away as she calls out for him, but it's no use. She closes her eyes and wishes for everything to change.

    1821. When she wakes up, she's in a new house, with a new name. Lady Eloise Crane, who lives at Romney Hall with her husband Phillip and Marina's children Amanda and Oliver. Except Marina's gone, and the world she knew eight years ago is no longer here. She looks for Theo, only to be again reminded that nothing is the same anywhere.

    As she navigates her new life, she reevaluates her decisions and decides what course she wants to chart forward.

    “Congratulations.”

    “Thank you. I didn’t know what happened to you after you left, especially since Whistledown took her business elsewhere. But I hope you’re happy.”

    “I guess. Can I ask you something?”

    He aimlessly clapped his hands together. “Go ahead.”

    “Is this the life you imagined for me? Being married to some lord or baron in the countryside? Visiting London only to see family or for business?”

    "To be honest?”

    “Yes?”

    Summary

    Penelope has felt as if she is unwanted from the moment she could recollect it - her father is more focused on the notion that the family is drowning in debt, her mother wants to climb the social ladder, and her two elder sisters love bullying her. When her hat flies off her head one afternoon and smacks one Anthony Bridgerton in the face, their entire worlds change forever.

    After being unofficially adopted by the Bridgerton family, Penelope grows up as a surrogate daughter, enjoying the luxury and comfort provided, especially the halfway decent education she gets. However, in her late teens, she realizes just how deep her love for one Anthony Bridgerton goes, but, given his high status as a viscount, as well as CEO of Bridgerton Enterprises, she never believes she will be good enough for him, until a chance of a lifetime comes her way...

    Summary

    ㅤ🎶 And then I go and spoil it all

    by saying somethin’ stupid like I love you 🎶

    It all started when Penelope openly lost her marbles during the staff meeting, a week after their trip to Aubrey Hall.

    A single long weekend–meant for sweet marshmallow-roasting–had turned their bond of nearly two decades into a wreckage of silent suffering, stretching her resolve so thin she snapped. She wanted to claw her way out of her Colin-shaped bubble wrap because she couldn’t breathe anymore.

    So, why not pour gasoline on the fire in front of the whole office?

    All she wanted was to avoid him. All he wanted was for her to talk to him and tell him what broke her. The only communication–forced and charged with tension–begs the question: could the remains of their friendship vanishing before their eyes force them to see what they've both been too blind to admit, or will they insist on saying something stupid that isn't ”I love you”?

    Summary

    What if, after enduring more pain than she could ever imagine, Penelope finally gave in and told Colin how she felt?

    ---

    “You don’t have to say anything. I get it.”

    Penelope took three steps and felt a hand on her wrist. Colin grabbed her arm, pulling firmly, and spinning her around. His hand cradled her face as he bent down to kiss her, breathing her in as his lips covered hers.

    That’s all it took for Penelope’s brain to short circuit. Colin was kissing her. It was soft and gentle, but sent sparks to all of her limbs. Her body turned into gelatin.

    When they broke apart, she placed her hands on his chest, feeling the thud of his heartbeat underneath his shirt. His hand remained cradling her cheek.

    “Why did you do that?” she asked quietly, her heart in her throat.

    “I don’t know,” he breathed. He looked so young and scared suddenly. “I just felt like I should.”

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope couldn’t have been more in love. They were strangers when they met… two lives crossing paths by sheer luck. But the moment their eyes met, something shifted. It was immediate, electric, as though the universe had been quietly orchestrating this encounter all along. They fell in love at first sight… no slow burn, no hesitations. Just a headlong dive into something that felt inevitable... untouchable.
    Their relationship unfolded like a dream. Every date felt like a scene from a storybook. They had fallen hard and fast. Within a few months, they were engaged. Their wedding was nothing short of magic… sun-drenched vows, dancing under fairy lights, and a room filled with people who believed, without a doubt, they were made for each other.

    It was perfect. Too perfect, perhaps. Because just when it seemed life had handed them a forever kind of love… it was as if fate’s script had been stolen, its sacred design undone by a whisper in the dark, uninvited… leaving only ruin in place of what was meant to be.

    Because the more he learns her silence, the more he realises he’s the one who’s been living without sound.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has always lived through her writing, pouring her heart into words no one ever sees—except Colin Bridgerton. Once, they were best friends who shared everything: stories, secrets, and a connection that felt like more. But a falling out five years ago ended their bond and left too many things unsaid.

    Now, Penelope is back at Aubrey Hall for her best friend Eloise’s wedding—Colin’s sister. As maid of honour to his best man, she can no longer avoid him… or the memories they left behind. Old letters and unresolved feelings resurface, threatening the fragile calm Penelope has built with ink and distance.

    As tension turns to truth, Penelope must decide: can she rewrite the ending of their story, or are some words better left in the past?

    Summary

    Hello, Upper East Siders,

    Should I introduce myself? Or should we skip the niceties and just get straight into business? I guess formality is not a form that shouldn't be lost in time, even when rudeness and social media have made apes out of people behind their phones.

    My name is Miss Whistledown, and I will become your reliable source into the lives of the wealthy, scandalous, and wildly inappropriate residents of the Upper East Side. 

    I assume you are reading this because you know some of them. Or if you're lucky enough, you are one of them. 

    So here I am to unmask the reality of the wealthiest and to show no mercy in uncovering their deepest, darkest secrets. 

    So activate your notifications. You know where to find me

    xoxo,

    Miss Whistledown.
