Summary
As Colin takes an afternoon stroll near his new home in Bloomsbury, who should he come across but Penelope Featherington—entirely alone and hiding a secret.
In part one of the lost chapters of book 4, Romancing Mr Bridgerton, we encounter Colin and Pen between their first kiss and Colin finding out Pen is the gossip writer Lady Whistlesown.
What does Colin find out about his feelings for Pen, and what intimate lessons can Pen learn from Colin?
Get ready for romance, beautiful intimacy, passion, angst, friendship, laughs, and quite possibly the best valet in London. What a pleasure reading can be!
These stories bring the missing parts of the books’ interconnected timelines, closed-door scenes and imagined liaisons into the open for all to enjoy.

Summary
Stephen Dunwoody is a long-time and loyal valet for the Bridgertons. But Stephen has a dark secret—one that could lead to his downfall...
A spicy and suspenseful tale that gives more background into Colin and what might be governing his motivations at this point in book 4 (Colin and Pen's story).
This M/M tale is an originally created backstory for a character only mentioned a few times in Bridgerton book 4.
It’s the second part of book 4's 'lost chapters' and takes a closer look at Georgian society in the 1800s. **Because of this, it is worth noting that the language I use around male homosexuality is taken from this period and, therefore, contains terms that would be offensive today.**

A Night of Reflection (Polin's wedding) by TheScanalousLadyGrey

Summary
Colin and Penelope's wedding day has finally arrived, but the couple has a long day and night ahead, full of love, revelations, passion, and a mirror.
These chapters open up the closed-door scenes of Polin's wedding and wedding night, which Quinn only gives a few lines to in book 4.
I know many people who read chapter 17 of book 4 felt uncomfortable with Colin's behaviour towards Pen (myself included). Here, I try to pick this apart to show how this couple might move forward into a married life with love and trust.

Summary
After Cressida tries to blackmail Penelope, Colin springs into action, publicly declaring his love for Pen to all of the ton and, at the same time, reveals her secret identity as the gossip writer Lady Whistledown.
But, as the couple attempts to settle back into their honeymoon without any more secrets, it appears Eloise has other ideas.
Part 4 of the 'lost chapters' of Romancing Mr Bridgerton (book 4 in the Bridgerton series) takes place directly after the end of the final chapter and fills in the gap between books 4 and 5 (Eloise's story).

Summary
Penelope and Colin Bridgerton set off on their honeymoon in Venice—full of romance, drama, beautiful sites, revelations...and hidden dangers.
This final part of the Bridgerton Book 4 (Romancing Mr Bridgerton) lost chapters takes place before the first epilogue. Quinn never reveals if Pen finally got the chance to go abroad with Colin, but she certainly does in this version.
