Summary
“Fail to unders-” Colin shook his head and took a step closer to her again, “I’m sure you are aware that it is a gentleman’s duty to marry a lady should he bring dishonour upon her.”
“Yes, but you’re not a gentleman, you’re Colin,” she interrupted him, her blue eyes boring into his, “You don’t count.”
Taken aback by the explanation, he could only stare at her in disbelief. Those words were familiar to him, yet they made him feel strange.
"Just look at our surroundings," Penelope gestured to the empty room. “We are without a chaperone, as we have been on multiple occasions. Suppose someone were to enter through those doors at this very moment, we would be under an obligation to marry, regardless of whether or not we kissed. So, what difference does it make?”
----
The year is 1815, and Colin Bridgerton devises the brilliant strategy to aid Penelope Featherington in attracting eligible suitors.

Dimitri is a foreign orphan turned businessman, looking to gain a foothold in Fodlan with a new title and influential bride.
Well, that's what they've told each other, anyway. Their true identities and motivations will be revealed against the backdrop of Enbarr's extravagant social season, where elegant gowns and juicy gossip distract from the rotting heart of Adrestia and the growing threat that dwells below the surface.

I softly tiptoed throughout the corridors to not alert him of my presence through echoing steps, but I managed to hear his. The clicking of his shoes against the marble floor led me to the hall in which he kept his statues and sculptures. I poked my head very slowly through the grand entrance looking for him, and I saw him staring up at a brand new installment, me. -

Lord Wylan Van Eck seemed to make an explosive first impression with Lord Jesper Hilli Fahey. Onlookers enjoyed the sight of their chemistry as they danced although, as this author understands, too much heat with the wrong sort of chemicals can cause quite the ugly reaction.

One bad dance is all it takes to launch Jesper on the season of a lifetime; one full of long days, gossip rags and marriage-minded marquises. The best he can hope for is to avoid getting into trouble too deep to escape from, but anything might happen in a season like this one.
