   Summary

   When Penelope Featherington is dragged from her bed in the middle of the night, she’s told that her nom-de-plume has been uncovered. Not by the Queen as she’d feared, but by the men who murdered her father. There are debts to be paid far beyond her Whistledown earnings. Fortunately for Penelope, a mysterious figure from her past is set on protecting her at all costs.
