Summary
"I do not blame you for putting on armour lately, but you must be careful that the armour does not rust and set so that you might never be able to take it off" ~ Violet Bridgerton
After his fiancee's deception had left him humiliated and heartbroken, Colin Bridgerton had sworn off women and thrown himself into his work, hardening his heart and rejecting love.
So, what do you do when the man you’re in love with barely acknowledges that you’re female let alone realises that you have feelings for him?
Penelope Featherington knew exactly what she was going to do and Colin was going to hate it.

Summary
Colin had sworn to not two, not three, but four people he would not be in attendance: Eloise, Daphne, his mother, and Benedict. But Pen wouldn’t have come if she knew he was going to be in attendance, and Penelope needs his family nearly as much as she needs a holiday. He can’t let her vanish from their lives just because he’d hurt her feelings. That’s Colin’s fault, not Penelope’s. That’s his punishment to bear.
It’s just that the punishment is staying away from Penelope, and Colin can’t quite stand the thought of bearing it all the way.

Or, Penelope Featherington gets severely sunburned and Colin Bridgerton is just trying to get the girl.

Summary
Penelope has been in a terrible car accident. While she recovers from her injuries in the care of Violet Bridgerton, she also has to contend with the fact that she can't remember the last eighteen months of her life.
Colin flies to be by Penelope's side to help her during her recovery. He hasn't seen or spoken to her in over a year since they had a painful falling out. She's seemingly happy to see him as she doesn't remember that they are no longer speaking, and Colin is too scared to tell her the truth.
Meanwhile, Penelope has managed to heal years of trauma between herself and her mother, finally reconciling a challenging relationship into one of a truly loving mother and daughter. However, she remembers none of it and wants nothing to do with Portia, leaving her heartbroken.
As Penelope recovers with Colin's help, the two manage to form an even stronger bond, making it more difficult for him to tell her the truth, while she struggles to heal and maybe even get her memories back.

Summary
When Penelope Featherington arrived at Rosemere Hall as a governess, she didn't expect that she'd get any attention from its cold, widowed master. But the Earl of Hawthorne has always gotten what he wants, and soon Penelope finds herself trapped in a dangerous arrangement that blurs the line between punishment and desire.
