    Summary

    One jilted wallflower. One brokenhearted viscount. One dangerous game.

    After a devastating season of betrayal and public humiliation, Penelope Featherington is done waiting for a hero. Heartbroken and alone, she strikes a ruthless bargain with Anthony Bridgerton, a man drowning in his own grief after Kate Sharma’s departure.

    Anthony will teach her the art of indifference; Penelope will provide him with a much-needed distraction from his own ruins. But as the citrus yellow is traded for sage and steel, the lessons become lethal. Together, they aim to turn the ton’s favorite observer into its most formidable player—forcing a blind Colin Bridgerton to finally see what he’s lost.

    In the high-stakes world of Mayfair, the best way to win the heart is to stop giving yours away. *Season 3 AU*
