    Summary

    They started the dance silently. She wondered why he had bothered to ask her to dance at all if he didn’t want to talk. There was so much left to say, but none of it in polite company. And, most importantly, none of what she had to say mattered now. They were both married.

    “I almost forgot to congratulate you-”
    “You do not need to.”
    “But I must-” She insisted.

    “I’d really rather you didn’t.” He said sternly. Colin’s face was unreadable as he couldn’t meet her eyes. Instead she stared at his clenched jaw. She supposed she wouldn’t have wanted his congratulations either after her own wedding, not that he tried to offer any.
    ---
    1814: Colin Bridgerton realizes he is in love. It should be a joyful time, but with competition for Pen's hand and secrets that threaten to ruin them, the pair's far from a happily ever after.

    1816: Penelope Debling is trying to make peace with her new life as a Countess running an estate for an absent husband. She is determined to feel content, but when she has to host Colin Bridgerton, old feelings threaten to unravel her.

    This story will be told in 2 alternating timelines (complete with double ch drops!) until the first timeline catches up to 1816.

    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

    Penelope Featherington knows these three things to be true:

    1) She has no time or interest in swiping right on any dating apps to find her elusive soulmate
    2) Inventing a fake perfect "boyfriend" is the only way to get her nagging mother off her back
    3) The perfect man only exists in her fantasies

    So when he suddenly appears on an ordinary day, corporeal and literally manifested straight out her dreams, what the hell is she supposed to do?

    Summary

    “What’s wrong?”

    “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.

    “No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”

    “I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.

    “And not like sensible adults.”

    “I remember that too.” If felt fucking incredible.

    “So you might have chlamydia.”

    “I understand how STIs work, Pen.”
