Before Debling proposed to her, Colin finally realized his feelings for Penelope. He wanted to confess his love to her but didn't have time. He couldn't catch up with her carriage as she left the ball after getting engaged to Debling. In despair, he left London and went on a journey, plunging into depression. Several months passed.

Lord Featherington is dead. Penelope is out shopping when she first sees him. Her Father, looking very much alive. "Dear Gentle Readers, There is a creature a foot, I heed warning, be sure to all be in your homes before the darkness of night. Lock your windows and doors. I do not say this warning in jest. There is a monster on the loose. Speculation that it is a wolf and that it has already barred its teeth into the town gentle folk. I myself have seen a mere image of the creature and I speak to you in earnest. Be afraid. This will be the last we speak for some time. Stay warm, the bitter cold and the bitter smell of death has revealed its ugly head. Stay safe, stay together and if you can, stay armed gentle readers. God Speed. yours Lady Whistledown LADY WISTLEDOWN'S SOCIETY PAPER'S, 10 March1824"

What if, after being found out by both Eloise and Colin on the night of the Featherington Ball, Penelope confessed to Queen Charlotte of being Whistledown? What if Penelope's repentance was to sail away with Captain Alfred Debling's trading company? What if Penelope discovered freedom? And what if, despite all her efforts to stay away from London, her ghosts from the past just couldn't stop haunting her?

Colin and Penelope agree to fake-dating for a month. While he is back from his summer travels, Colin is mostly up for anything novel and adventurous. Penelope on the other hand is on a long writer's block and she desperately needs inspiration for her new book. With set ground rules to keep things strictly professional, everything will be a breeze right? The question remains: can love truly be found in a scripted romance, or was it there all along, waiting to be discovered?

England, 1815. A new year and a new social season. Young ladies from all over the ton will flock yet again for one purpose; finding a husband. Francesca is freshly 18 and ready to settle for someone tolerable. Practical and even-keeled, she does not expect to meet a love-match like her siblings before her. Penelope is not keen on entering spinsterhood just to live at the whims of one of her sisters. Stretched between a still kicking crush on Colin, a broken friendship with Eloise, and her ever contentious secret identity as Lady Whistledown, her future happiness depends entirely on how well she can play the balancing game. Eloise is less than pleased to be entering her second social season. Left reeling from Penelope's scathing pamphlets as Lady Whistledown, she resigns herself to playing nice, if just for the season. Her new friendship with Cressida Cowper leads her to see her fellow ladies of the ton in a new light as Eloise tries find herself amidst the ballrooms she feel so out of place in. Let's face it, season 3 was a disappointment for pretty much everyone. So I'm rewriting it, and filling in the many gaps and plot-holes that left us questioning

P.S A lot of scenes / quotes are taken from the TV show and some from Romancing Mr. Bridgerton so I didn't come up with a couple of them! Also I did not come up with the characters they are used from Julia Quinn! ( This story takes place after the ending of season 2 ) After Penelope overhears her beloved Colin telling everyone that he would never dream of courting her she feels heartbroken and upset knowing the only man she thought was different proved her to be wrong, she decides to try and forget about Colin and focus on marrying but he will not stop trying to do everything in his favour for her to forgive him. Penelope started to dress differently and change how she looked to be more presentable for suitors, not only does she end up attracting more suitors than previous seasons but she also captures the attention of the one and only Colin Bridgerton.
