The Bridgertons. An affair with Mr. Bridgerton UA

In the bustling scene of London's elite, the anticipation of the new season is palpable, though the overall sentiment is that the year has been notably dull. Conversations buzz around whether Colin Bridgerton, now thirty-three, will finally abandon his bachelor status following his return from Greece. However, as reported by Lady Whistledown, there seems to be no prospective bride in sight. Colin appears unfazed by societal expectations, ready at any moment to escape his mother's insistent matchmaking and the stodgy atmosphere of his social circle for new adventures. Penelope Featherington, on the other hand, harbors a deep affection for Colin, feelings that have surpassed mere friendship over the years. Despite her enduring participation in the seasonal festivities, Penelope teeters on the brink of a future marked by solitude. Her family, not particularly insightful, instead fixates on thrusting Felicity, the youngest Featherington, into the spotlight, aiming to capture the attention of the eligible Colin Bridgerton. Contrary to her family's narrow ambitions, Lady Danbury shifts her focus away from Penelope, focusing instead on unraveling the mystery surrounding the elusive Lady Whistledown. Her determination to uncover the identity of this enigmatic figure adds a layer of intrigue to the otherwise mundane social calendar.
