    Summary

    "You are a flower ready to bloom, Miss Featherington."

    After the events of last season, Penelope is throwing herself into writing Lady Whistledown. The only thing that stands in her way is her meddlesome family. The best way to escape from them? Why, getting married, of course. When Lady Danbury offers to mentor Penelope, she begins her quest to turn from simple wallflower, to blossoming rose... or at the very least, a daisy.

    Colin was finding out the hard way that this flower had thorns.

    Returning home for the social season, Colin is feeling, well, rather despondent. His best friend did not return a single one of his letters, and now she is referring to him as Mr. Bridgerton. When he realizes that Penelope's desire is to find a husband this year, Colin is determined to work his way back into her good graces, through helping instruct her in the ways of wooing.

    "We will turn you into the loveliest, most enchanting flower the ton has ever seen."

    But what happens when these secret lessons to find Penelope love work perhaps a little too well? And on the very last person they intended: Colin himself?
