   Summary

   Penelope Featherington returns to London after five years, determined to leave the past— and devastating heartbreak —behind her.

   Finally happy, and settled down with a new career, Eloise asks her to be the maid of honor in her wedding, and she braces herself to face the family she once considered her own. While confronting the betrayals of the past and deciding whether to forgive, forget, or finally embrace the truth, she realizes that the past refuses to stay buried. Secrets resurface, old wounds reopen, revelations are made, and Anthony Bridgerton - once her bitter rival - is inexplicably, being nice to her?

   Amongst unyielding friendships, family tensions, and unexpected sparks, Penelope finds out that a rocky path is sometimes worth the destination.
