    Summary

    The fashion choices of ladies never held Ned’s interest for long. He’d overheard many conversations where girls would whisper about needing extra lace or buttons in order to attract their chosen suitor.

    Ned thought it all pointless. It was not possible for pieces of cloth to have such an effect.

    He was wrong.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is charming, controlled, and completely unhinged.

    After being rescued from an asylum, Penelope is hidden away at Aubrey Hall. She doesn't expect the third Bridgerton—who is rarely seen and only whispered about to be there as well.

    One thing Penelope Featherington has learned is that when running from dangerous men, the safest place for her may be at the side of one even more dangerous.

    Summary

    An unexpected encounter following the Featherington Ball leaves Penelope frightened, confused, and somehow...changed. She doesn't understand what's happening to her or why both Colin and Eloise—who she believed had forsaken her each in their own way—suddenly seem so fixated upon her. As her world slowly devolves into a haze of lust, blood, and what can only be described as madness, she finds herself wondering if she should let her friends help her or if she should try and save them from herself.

    Summary

    Penelope could not breathe. Eloise floated like a waterlily upon the pool, the tips of her breasts pointed up above the water, her belly rising with each breath and her thighs spread wide. Beautiful, Penelope thought; so beautiful that she did not know what to do except look, her eyes tracing Eloise's skin. She wondered if the cool water felt nice upon Eloise's skin; if she was enjoying the lap of it against her body, against the soft skin of her breasts and between her legs as Penelope was.

    "Penelope," Eloise said lazily, her mouth turning up at the corners. "You are staring."

    Penelope swallowed, started from her daydreaming. She shifted beneath the water and watched its surface ripple. "No I am not," she insisted, her cheeks warm despite the cool kiss of the water. "And you cannot possibly see — your eyes are closed."

    "I know when you look at me, Penelope Featherington," Eloise retorted, and her voice was silky, warm enough to make Penelope shiver. "Come. You do not need to simply look. You might touch, also. We are spinsters, are we not?"
