    Summary

    Colin's brothers, helpful sorts that they are, decide there's only one cure for his lingering virginity: a trip to a brothel.

    The plan goes about as well as expected.

    Convinced he's the only man in England incapable of wanting a stranger, Colin spends the next week wondering if something is terribly wrong with him.

    Then Penelope Featherington makes one scandalously amusing joke, and Colin discovers that perhaps the problem was never a lack of desire.

    Perhaps he's simply been in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    The Ton was a mystical place. The people were not humans. They looked like humans and, to some extent, lived like humans, but they had something more.
    The people of the Ton had a greater awareness of their souls. Because of this, they could do many things that normal human beings could not. They could recognize their soulmate and were, in fact, younger-looking, lived longer, and were said to be better at almost everything than normal humans. Yet they blended in and lived alongside humans while humans remained completely unaware of them.

    Penelope Featherington had spent most of her life waiting.

    Waiting for her soulmate. Waiting to become someone worth noticing. Waiting for a future she had once been certain would belong to Colin Bridgerton.

    At sixteen, she had believed destiny itself had made her for him. At eighteen, destiny had disagreed. Ten years later, she had long since accepted that Colin was not hers, that soulmates were not guaranteed, and that some people simply spent their lives alone.

    It was a painful lesson.

    But she had survived it.

    Summary

    When Penelope wakes, blearily, she shifts to her opposite side in the uncomfortable hospital bed.

     

    She sees him there, in the same place he has been for the last several days, from the moment she first awoke.

     

    The man they say is her husband.

     

    She knows this man; she has known him nearly her whole life.

     

    But she does not know Colin Bridgerton as her husband.


    An accident steals five years of Penelope's memory, leaving her baffled and confused as she tries to adjust to the life that is, apparently, hers—a life she had once dreamed of, no less. Colin is Colin, taking care of her every need, but maintaining a careful distance that has her wondering how he fell in love with her in the first place. But as they navigate the strange new world they find themselves in, and as bits and pieces of Penelope's memory return, she learns how it feels to be truly and wholly loved by Colin Bridgerton.

    And how it feels to be betrayed by him.

    Summary

    Penelope is convinced to attend the university’s annual winter carnival under the promise she’ll see the rarely-in-London-anymore Colin Bridgerton. When she does spot him, however, he’s running the football team’s kissing booth.

    Which makes her want to throw up, quite frankly.

    Perplexingly, it also puts certain things into motion Colin discovers he is not prepared for.

    Summary

    “But when am I getting married? And who am I getting married to?” 

     

    “More like who would want to marry you?” Prudence mumbles as Philippa snickers along unkindly. 

     

    Penelope frowns, for a moment she wonders if her mum will tell Prudence to stop, that being mean also isn’t ladylike, but she doesn’t do that, she just ignores it. “Well, you’re a little too young to be getting married right now, that will have to wait until you’re a bit older, but as for who you’re going to marry… I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.”

     

    Two days after the wedding, Penelope knocks a boy off his bike by accident with her yellow hat. He laughs with her about it instead of yelling at like she’d assumed he would, and the moment she hears his laugh she knows that she’s met the love of her life, and the minute she opens the door she tells her mum that she knows exactly who she’s going to marry one day.

     

    She’s going to marry Colin Bridgerton, the flowers said so.

    OR

    At nearly every single wedding she goes to, Penelope catches the bouquet. These are the various times it happens, and a couple of times when it doesn't.

    Summary

    “Ah, are you mad? I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington, not in your wildest fantasies, Fife.”

    A beat of silence passed, filled only by the sounds of distant conversation, firecrackers sizzling in the sky and the gentle beat of crickets in the night. For a moment it seemed the men had nothing to say, and then–

    “Truly?”
    “I was under the impression you shared an understanding.”
    “So she is available?”

    All three gentlemen responded at once, in that order. Before Colin could question their meaning, they were already looking beyond him and making their way out.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    In the summer of 1814, one Bridgerton's declaration clears the path for suitors galore to vie for a young Miss Featherington's hand, much to his dismay.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope had an unlikely friendship with a side of purely inquisitive, deeply scientific fascination. On Penelope's part anyway. It was just an infatuation. Because of course she hadn't fallen in love with him when she was eleven, or fifteen, or twenty-five.

    That would be ridiculous.

    They were just friends. That's how friends behave.

    Right?

    But what if the fabric of their being was tied to the other? And even after the first fracture they both held on? What if it all came down to timing?

    OR:

    Penelope thinks this is the closest she'll ever get to him.

    Colin thinks this is the closest she'll ever let him get.

    Summary

    Penelope grew up a timid young girl, dreaming of becoming someone beautiful. Now, as a debutante, her most ardent wish is to be desired by Colin, her ever-so-hansome friend.

    Colin was a responsible kind of boy, protective of his family's little friend Pen.
    Today, he is a man confused as to his place in society and the marriage-mart.

    Benedict was foolish then, and grew to be only slightly wiser. He owes Penelope a debt, and takes it upon himself to bring the two together.

    Summary

    The vest hung open.

    Penelope stood in front of the mirror holding the marigold loosely between her fingers.

    The girl in the mirror looked… different from the one she remembered.
    Softer in some places.

    Sharper in others.

    But undeniably real.

     
    Alive.

     
    Seven months ago, she would have picked the image apart immediately.

    But today something strange happened.

    She just looked.

    Before she could think about it too much, she raised the camera and took the picture.She opened the caption field.

     
    Typed slowly.

     
    Still here.

    Spring showed up anyway 🌼

    Then she pressed post.

     
    Notifications flooded the screen.

     The sunlight.

    The marigold.

    Penelope Featherington looking like some sort of modern Botticelli painting.

    “Oh my god.”

    "HELLO?????🤯🤯🥵"

    "WHEN DID WE START DOING RENAISSANCE PORTRAITS????!!!🤯🤯😻"

     
    The comment count kept rising.

     
    Thousands of strangers noticing her.

     
    Colin felt something sharp twist in his chest.

     
    He opened the comments.

     
    Immediately regretted it.

    Summary

    Colin prides himself on being a gentleman. He has practically ensured it. He does not kiss gently bred ladies in the cover of darkness in the gardens of a host or stow them away in his bedroom or ask them to steal away from their chaperones so that they might have a few moments alone to simply talk discuss subjects that might interest them both.

    But perhaps, not all of that is true.

    Six months of silence, and then Aubrey Hall.

    Penelope and Colin are thrown back into each other’s orbit for Kate and Anthony’s wedding, with too much history and not nearly enough distance. Tension simmers, old wounds resurface, and neither of them is as unaffected as they’d like to be.

    Summary

    Rather than her ridiculously large number of siblings (seven!) or her (sometimes) overbearing (but well-meaning) mother, the first and only warning Daphne gave Simon prior to meeting her entire family at his first Bridgerton Brunch was about Colin and Penelope.

    “It may look like it, but they are not in a relationship, and you absolutely cannot ask about it,” Daphne had commanded.

    But if that’s true, then why does Simon keep walking in on Colin and Penelope making out?

    “Do you hear it?” he whispered.

    She tilted her head, a faint smile touching her lips. “Hear what?”

    “The cherry blossoms… falling.”

    Her smile deepened, amused and curious. “Do they make a sound?”

    He stepped a little closer, his voice lowering as though sharing a secret meant only for her.

    “Oh, they do.”

    A pause.

    “They sound like your laughter… soft, fleeting, impossible to forget.”

    Her breath caught.

    “They carry your scent—something I could search for a lifetime and never quite name.”

    Closer still.

    “And their beauty…” he murmured, “is just like yours—quiet, elusive… dismissed by fools who do not know where to look. But the moment one truly does—just once—there is no escape from it. None at all.”
