   Summary

   💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
   In the end this is not dark and angsty as I first envisioned but the first two chapters contain potentially triggering material, so please proceed with caution.
   ༺༻༺༻

   Sold into a cruel and loveless marriage, Penelope Featherington endures abuse, isolation, and despair while secretly plotting her husband’s murder. With Eloise’s audacious support and Anthony Bridgerton’s reluctant involvement, a tangled web of betrayal, desperation, and vengeance unravels.

   At its core, this is a dark tale of survival, sacrifice, and ultimately… revenge.
