   Summary

   Penelope has felt as if she is unwanted from the moment she could recollect it - her father is more focused on the notion that the family is drowning in debt, her mother wants to climb the social ladder, and her two elder sisters love bullying her. When her hat flies off her head one afternoon and smacks one Anthony Bridgerton in the face, their entire worlds change forever.

   After being unofficially adopted by the Bridgerton family, Penelope grows up as a surrogate daughter, enjoying the luxury and comfort provided, especially the halfway decent education she gets. However, in her late teens, she realizes just how deep her love for one Anthony Bridgerton goes, but, given his high status as a viscount, as well as CEO of Bridgerton Enterprises, she never believes she will be good enough for him, until a chance of a lifetime comes her way...
