    Summary

    While travelling back to Aubrey Hall for Christmas, Colin Bridgerton finds himself caught in a major snowstorm. His driver manages to get him to the nearest safe dry building, which just so happens to be the Featherington country estate. Penelope meanwhile has been left home alone for a couple of days – her mother had gone to visit a friend before the festive period – and suddenly finds herself host to a single man, her friend’s brother and the boy she’s had a crush on forever. As the storm rages on, bringing England to a standstill, it becomes clear that Colin and Penelope are going to have to put up with each other until the weather clears.
