Summary
Anthony Bridgerton has been brought in to speak at Penelope Featherington's university at the last minute, after a colleague had to drop out. Penelope has been assigned to be his escort and make sure he has everything he needs. They've known each other for years, but Penelope has never been more than Eloise's shy friend, and Anthony has always been too intimidating for Penelope to ever really have a conversation with him.
Everything is going fine, Anthony's charming the audience with his speech, when Penelope catches something in the audience. A glint of something shiny. She reacts before she has time to think, and ends up taking a bullet that was meant for Anthony. Suddenly the girl he never noticed is the only person who matters. And when the doctors tell him only family is allowed to see her, Anthony has to get creative.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton never intended to take another wife—not after losing Marina, the woman he truly loved. But when her favourite cousin, Penelope, arrives for her debut season, he is unprepared for the way she upends his carefully guarded world.
The bookish little girl he met just once is now a stunning young woman, full of life, hope, and impossible temptation.
Tasked with finding her a husband, Colin instead hoards her attention, sabotages her suitors, and crosses lines a guardian should never cross. But the more he fights his desire, the more he realises—he doesn’t want to protect her innocence… he wants to claim it.
