Penelope Featherington's father had left his family in financial and social ruin, and now it was up to Penelope to save her mother and sisters. Penelope and her family leave the 'ton with nothing, but return months later in reasonable fashion. The Bridgerton family had always had a soft spot for Penelope Featherington, and with news of her and her family's return they insist that the Featheringtons stay with the Bridgertons during this years season. Although, Penelope has changed. She no longer worries about typical protocols in the 'ton like being escorted by a maid. Penelope disappears at odd hours, and has money that no one knows about. She has upwards of 4 glasses of champagne or wine at dinner. She no longer views herself as a respectable lady. And the Bridgertons will not have it, as they do their best to protect her reputation from ruin.
