    Summary

    An ancient marriage pact forces Colin Atherley, newly made Duke of Austinborough, to marry Penelope Featherington—the quiet girl he once knew as a child and has long since forgotten.

    To Colin, the marriage is little more than an inconvenient obligation. Within a day he leaves for London and his medical studies, abandoning his new bride at Everthorne.

    But five years is a long time.

    When Colin finally returns home, he expects to find the same timid girl he left behind.

    Instead he finds a woman who has rebuilt his estate, earned the loyalty of the village, and learned how to live perfectly well without him.

    The more Colin learns about his wife, the more unsettling a realization becomes:

    Perhaps he was never the only one wounded by their marriage. And perhaps the quiet girl he overlooked has been the most extraordinary woman in his life all along.

    Summary

    Penelope lost Eloise in an attempt to save her from the queen. Although she knows that was not the reason Eloise is mad at her.

    Penelope learnt how Colin truly felt about her, the same night he vowed to protect her. His true colors made her feel small and unworthy, breaking her.

    Penelope could no longer take the hits and is hasty to run from them, leaving her in a dangerous situation.

    Set right after the ball in 2x08.

    (I feel like this summary is not very good)
