Anthony, anguished over the death of a deeply loved family member, was given another chance to make things right.

At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife. Having interviewed most of the ladies of the ton and found none deserving, his interest was piqued whilst at the Danbury Ball when he overhears his mother and sister speak of a lady in high regard; and in their comments found that this woman shares the same qualities he had been looking for in a prospect. What will happen if he finds out that the same lady in question was no other than his sister's best friend and their long time neighbor, Penelope Featherington?

Both Anthony Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington found themselves in an unexpected predicament. Having lived to the scandals of their own, with Anthony being left at the altar by the Diamond of the season, and Penelope being found out by Eloise as Lady Whistledown; how can the Capital R Rake and the notorious gossip writer navigate the upcoming London season knowing that they must appease and heed the royal command of the Queen.

After the unfortunate events at her mama's ball, Penelope had decided it was time for her to leave London. As she heard Colin uttered disparaging words about her towards his friends, Penelope had lost her respect towards the man she had silently loved all these years. As if that is not enough, her dearest friend Eloise had found out her identity as Lady Whistledown and had broken off their friendship not without saying harsh and hurtful words towards her. Now without reason to be fond of high society, Penelope Featherington decided to leave the country and settle down for good in Scotland. Until an accident happens.

When a refined yet quietly mysterious young lady arrives at Aubrey Hall to serve as a companion during the tranquil off-season, she soon captures the attention of the Bridgerton family-most notably that of their steadfast Viscount. Anthony Bridgerton prides himself on order and responsibility, yet finds his composure steadily undone by her graceful wit and the gentle veil she keeps over her past. As curiosity blossoms into something far warmer, both must decide whether to let down their carefully tended defenses and discover what possibilities await when two guarded hearts meet.

Every time he looked at her, she was looking at another, and the one she was looking at was looking elsewhere. It was downright ridiculous, as one of his brothers had told him one night - without the knowledge of who the youngest Prince of King George and Queen Charlotte was thinking of - to sulk over a Lady. But Prince Charles could not help it, for Penelope Featherington had placed a flower in his hair and smiled at him with only genuineness, and without a goal of marriage, and he'd been taken by her ever since.

"Something was missing" - that's how I felt at the end of the third season. In the end, I can't come to terms with what we were deprived of, so I decided to rewrite the script the way we would have liked to see it.

״I fell in love with him at first sight. From the very first day. And I continued to love him always, even when he didn't pay me any attention. I waited and hoped that he would choose me when we grew older. But he chose not me, but my cousin. And my jealousy completely drove me mad. I was there all the time, supporting him, laughing at his jokes, but he just didn't see me as a woman. Yet he saw her in Marina, whom he had known for only a couple of days. And even her secret didn't stop him. He was ready to lay the whole world at her feet. I had grown accustomed to the fact that my family didn't care about me, that my voice meant nothing in society. But I thought I had him. It turned out that all this time I was nothing to him. Just like to everyone else. But this became the last straw for me. And I decided that no one would dare to underestimate me anymore. So I began to write. I poured all my anger, all my pain, everything that had been building up inside me into my articles. And people liked it. So I continued to write. And I didn't notice how my articles began to bring pain to others...״ P.S: October 19, 00:49. I've finished the last line of this story. I don't remember how many chapters I initially planned, but it ended up being 40! This is the longest and most intricate story I've ever come up with and written, and I'm incredibly proud of myself. A huge thank you to everyone who reads and shares their thoughts about this story. Without you, it would most likely have become yet another abandoned project (and trust me, that almost happened, but your comments saved everything). Now, the chapters will be released a bit earlier, and there are still 15 more chapters ahead. The final one will come out on November 16, 2024. Meanwhile, I'll be preparing a new story for you.

After Anthony discovers Lady Whistledown's true identity, he comes up with a plan that will suit them both. Colin comes home to Mayfair only to realise that Miss Penelope Featherington is being courted by his older brother, non the less. Which triggers him to feel, less than his usual self. What if the young lady who you respect the most, starts to become the most desirable?

Story 4 - Penelope feels unattractive during her fourth pregnancy. Colin refuses to allow it and vows to change her mind. Smutty & sweet combo fic.
