    Summary

    It begins as a harmless game at Aubrey Hall, but one week is enough to unravel every rule of propriety. What follows is a quiet, relentless affair of stolen moments, shared secrets, and desire that refuses to fade. In a world built on decorum, Penelope Featherington and the Bridgerton brothers learn just how easily pleasure can undo restraint—and how curiosity can turn into an arrangement far more improper, intoxicating, and impossible to end.
