Seducing Mr. Bridgerton (Bridgerton #4)

At twenty-eight, Penelope has resigned herself to becoming a spinster destined to grow old caring for her mother. For a decade, she has attended every party of London's aristocracy, always remaining the unremarkable, quiet girl, the one no one asks to dance except out of obligation, the one who goes unnoticed by everyone. Even by Colin Bridgerton, brother of Penelope's best friend, handsome, daring, a highly eligible bachelor... and her lifelong crush. For Colin, Penelope has always been there, friendly, pleasant, but almost invisible. How can everything suddenly change? Without quite knowing how, the younger Bridgerton discovers a woman who is intelligent, sensitive, daring... and very attractive. For years they have known each other almost like siblings, and suddenly they realize they know nothing about one another. But not everything they discover will be so pleasant...
