At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife.

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?

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.
