Now on the shelf with no escape, Penelope is left with nothing but her self-respect which makes here continue with her endevours of being a BAMF who can earn more than a million pounds for her writings (thats fucking insane ngl).
On one of her runs to the printer she meets or rather a man crashes on to her and the hopes of leaving the shelf aren't so slim as she thought.
Prepare for a thrilling ride where Penelope doesn't give a fuck anymore and William Gloucester is here to watch everything go to shit.

Summary
When the truth about Lady Whistledown shatters her engagement to Colin Bridgerton, Penelope Featherington does not fight for what is already lost. Instead, she flees London with a secret of her own…a child she refuses to let the world destroy.
Years later, she is Penelope Fife, the devoted wife of Lord Fife and mother to three children, including bright, beautiful Agatha. The daughter born of a love that died before it could ever truly live. Against every whisper, every scandal, Fife stands by her side, raising Agatha as his own.
Their life in the country is peaceful, even joyful, proof that love can bloom again from ruin. But peace is rarely permanent in the world of the ton. When the Bridgertons cross paths with the Fifes once more, old wounds reopen. Colin must face the consequences of his choices, Violet senses an unspoken truth in the child who calls another man “Papa,” and Eloise grapples with the loss of her oldest friend.
“She may be your blood, Mr. Bridgerton,” Fife says quietly, “but she is my daughter.”

Summary
The night Penelope called off her wedding to Colin Bridgerton, she read some of her old Whistledown columns. Maybe a form of self-flagellation or some twisted sort of reminiscence. When she read the one after the Featherington ball, it occurred to her, too late, that what Colin had said then should have been the end for her. She should have held the tiniest bit of self-respect to know that words like that probably do not deserve to go unpunished. Forgiveness, perhaps. But never should such a thing be forgotten. Penelope, however, protected him by further insulting herself. Debased herself by continuing to love him. Allowed the tepidness of his attention to stoke a fire that had no business to still exist. She should have held no hope for a happy ending with the man. Her place in the world was entirely of her own making.

Penelope Featherington stopped believing in love the day Colin walked away without looking back.

Until Anthony Bridgerton walks into her orbit.
The new CEO is sharp, serious, and entirely off-limits - but their banter is addictive, and the way he looks at her makes her wonder if she’s finally being seen. Really seen. She's been there before, though, so how can she learn to trust a love she never believed she'd have?
