Summary
By the time Penelope snuck out of the conference room and back to her desk, she felt like someone had scraped her confidence off with a spoon. She pulled out her phone and opened the chat thread she definitely shouldn’t still be using—but did anyway.
Penelope:
So. Good news: I didn’t die.
Bad news: My boss definitely wanted me to. He didn’t even yell, just stared like I’d insulted his ancestors.
Also I tripped. In front of a room full of people. Kill me.

Summary
When Penelope Featherington’s debut manuscript is threatened by a malicious claim of stolen authorship, she needs to get to New York before the publisher walks away from the book she has spent years building.
The problem: a brutal weather system has grounded most flights out of London.
The worse problem: the only person who can get her there is Colin Bridgerton, her former best friend, long-haul pilot, and the man she has spent the last year trying very hard not to love after overhearing exactly what he thought of her before he left for Athens.
Forced into close quarters above the Atlantic and then into one rain-soaked New York hotel room, Penelope and Colin are finally left with nowhere to hide from the wreckage of their friendship—or the truth of what has always been between them.
Or: Colin is a pilot (because there's just not enough of it here), and Penelope is her usual brilliant self.

Summary
"Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."
It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.
A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

“Erm… well… fuck. Ok. Colin.” She clears her throat. “I’m so sorry, but this is a call of shame.”
“A what?”
“A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”
“Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.

Summary
Colin lifts his hand with the cigarette to his lips at the same that his eyes open, his head turns, and he first notices Penelope standing there watching him.
"Fuck," he mutters before looking away from her and to the window. "I'm sorry."
She isn't sure what he's apologizing for really—for smoking or fighting with Marina or maybe both. Regardless, it breaks a little part of her to see him looking so dejected and sad. There's a light missing from him, a weight pulling him down and making him seem smaller. It's not fair, though. He's so inherently good. He doesn't deserve to feel like this. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. He deserves—
Penelope can't help but blink in surprise even at just the meandering path of her own thoughts, at the idea that just popped into her head about what exactly she thinks Colin Bridgerton deserves at this moment and what exactly she'd like to do to make him feel better. It's ridiculous, right? She shouldn't… She couldn't… But what if she did?
--
Flatmates Penelope and Colin take a winding, complicated, messy path on their friends to lovers journey.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is sick as a dog and trying to power through and be miserable on her own. Colin shows up unexpectedly, insisting on taking care of her, with just one small problem. They just had a horrible fight and aren't speaking.
--
“You shouldn’t be here,” she mumbles, suddenly feeling more moody and irritated by his presence. “You’ll get sick too.”
He ignores her and a moment later, she hears the sound of running water from a different part of her flat. She’s still confused.
When he returns, she stands up and crosses her arms, trying to seem steadier. She’s not.
“What are you doing here?”
“You’re sick, Pen. I came to take care of you.”
“I don’t need you to—”
“Please,” he begs, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Please just… I started the shower for you. Let me finish up in here.”

Summary
Colin Bridgerton was a rising British tennis star, who disappointed in his professional debut and struggled to find his footing amongst the ATP Tour for years.
His dreams of winning Wimbledon seemed further and further away when a knee injury sidelined him during his eighth season. The only bright side was re-connecting with his sister's best friend he hadn't seen in years, who reminded him to focus on what inspired him to play from the beginning.
Penelope tried to keep her distance from Colin, remaining as guarded as possible, but relented when circumstances kept bringing them together, preparing herself for the inevitable heartbreak that would consume her when he re-joined the tour and moved on with his life.
---
“What if I can’t?” Colin asked, voicing his actual biggest fear out loud. The dark cloud looming overhead. “What if I try and give it everything I’ve got and I can’t get it back?” Shame trickled throughout his body.
Penelope paused again, not rushing her response. She spoke quietly, cradling his insecurities with her soft spoken understanding. “Then at least you’ll know for sure. And you won’t look back with regrets.”

Summary
"I have needs," he blurts out, and then his face does something awful, crumbling almost, before he catches and rights it out of habit. "Fuck. That came out wrong. I don't mean—I'm not—" His hands are shaking. "I need help, Pen. And I think you might be the only person I trust enough to ask."
Colin asks. Penelope gives. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the structure starts to fail.

Summary
It's not the first time Colin has woken up with a dry mouth, an achy body and a severe case of ‘what the hell did I do last night?’ but it is definitely the first time he has woken up here.
What’s happening…?
What is this place…?
Is that Penelope he can hear…?
His panic and confusion melt away at the sound of her voice and he feels a sense of relief. Penelope is close, she’s here… she’s… very close, actually… very, very close.
Wait… Is she…? Is he…? Could he be…?
Inside her?
