The Story of Colin and
Penelope Penelope Petherington secretly adored her best friend's brotherFor... well, it seems like forever. After watching Colin Bridgerton from afar for half her life, she thinks she knows everything there is to know about him, until she accidentally reveals his deepest secret... and fears she doesn't know him at all.
Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought of as a charming and frivolous snob, tired of the notoriously gossipy columnist Lady Whistledown, who seems unable to publish an edition without mentioning his name. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad, he discovers that his life is not back on track - especially when it comes to Penelope Petherington! The girl who was always there suddenly starts haunting him in his dreams. When he discovers that Penelope has dreams of her own, the elusive bachelor must decide... is she a great threat to his life - or a promise of a happy ending?
Julia Quinn, whose books are on the New York Times bestseller list, is happy to debunk the myth that smart women don't read (or write) romance novels, and those who watch reruns of the weak link show will be able to see her win $79,000. She showed a complete lack of knowledge about baseball, country music and toys, but she is proud to say that she excelled in every subject related to Britain and literature, answered all history and geography questions correctly, and knew about Da Vinci's existence long before The Da Vinci Code appeared. Mrs.
Quinn, a graduate of Harvard and Radcliffe, is one of only sixteen female romance novelists in the United States to be inducted into the American Hall of Fame. Her books have been translated into 32 languages, and she lives with her family in the northwest of the United States.
