    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton was never supposed to confide in Penelope Featherington. But between the lines of their letters and the spaces between their meetings, something tender takes root.
    As seasons change and scandals rise, they remain each other’s quiet constant—until friendship begins to look an awful lot like love.

    ---

    “You write like a man twice your age,” Penelope scrawled at the bottom of her reply.

    Anthony’s next letter arrived with only one line:
    “That’s rich coming from a woman who hides behind an alias to scold the entire ton.”

    Summary

    People talk a lot about the physical and emotional impact on women during “that time of the month.” For Penelope Featherington, though, there’s an entirely separate portion of the month that hits her the hardest, and the symptoms she experiences are distinct from that other time. It’s a different sort of ache that settles low in her belly, a different form of discomfort driving her to cocoon herself in bed, and a different type of tenderness that envelopes her body and her mind. As time goes by, it’s only getting harder and harder to deal with on her own. If only she knew someone kind and handsome and trustworthy to help her through it…

    --

    Or, Penelope experiences extreme horniness when she’s ovulating every month and Colin offers to sleep with her “as a friend.”

    Summary

    "You might — you might pretend to court me," she says.

    "You — what?" he asks dumbly. He feels dizzy, his mind working slowly as if he is wading through the lake.

    "Just for a few weeks," she explains quickly. "Just to give me — room to breathe. Keep the alphas at bay for a short while."

    She blinks up at him , so pretty and plump, her skin shining like polished porcelain in the moonlight. She has the loveliest little flush upon her chest now, blooming in pink patches that he cannot help but imagine beneath his lips.

    "I shall pretend to court you," Colin repeats slowly, his eyes tracing over the tops of her breasts, his jaw working helplessly. "And you shall let me — let me bite?" He cannot believe the words dropping from his tongue. "Let me — let me play alpha?" There is a sort of ringing in his ears.

    Penelope's eyes go very round then, her breaths coming out quick.

    She nods.

    Summary

    Penelope is proud of who she is, despite what Colin feels. She had given up her hope and dream in favor of building a life with him until he caught her and excused her of planning to entrap him the entire time. She calls off the wedding and reveals her secret to her mother, who surprisingly takes it well. Upon hearing of her daughters possible pregnancy, she decides to protect her daughter, including keeping Colin Bridgerton away from her if she has to.

    Across the street, Anthony Bridgerton is still trying to figure out what he really wants in life after a failed attempt at convincing Kate to marry him. Violet hates that he is alone and wants for him to find happiness.

    What happens when two meddling mamas come together to make their children happy?
