The Villain's Guide to Happy Endings

At the glitzy Season Four premiere of *Crown of Shadows*, Sebastian Vane—dressed in villainous black velvet—attempts a grand public proposal, only to be brutally rejected by the show's heroine for the actor playing the Golden Knight. Humiliated and hiding under a catering table, Sebastian is discovered by Penny Plumb, the show's sunniest assistant director. Desperate to save his reputation, Sebastian begs Penny to teach him how to be "approachable," sparking a chaotic alliance of bad sweaters, awkward smiles, and a romance that threatens to go off-script.
