However, she is absolutely determined to find a husband. Preferably one who offers her enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown - far away from her mother and sisters. However, Penelope lacks self-confidence and her attempts to find a husband fail miserably.
Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. He is quickly taken aback when he realizes that Penelope, the one person who has always appreciated him for who he was, is giving him the cold shoulder. To win back her friendship, Colin offers to give Penelope advice on "self-confidence" and help her find a husband.
When his lessons work a little too well, Colin is forced to question whether his feelings for Penelope are really just friendly.
