Summary
Colin falls in love first. Then, when he’s already in too deep, he discovers an unforgivable sin he’s determined she will never uncover.
Penelope only knows the man she loves says he has to stay away, and he won’t tell her why.
But he should stay away from her, because she was never supposed to matter like this. Never supposed to get under his skin, into his bed, into every part of him he can’t cut out.
Now she’s building something powerful enough to rival his family.
And if she ever learns the truth, she won’t just break his heart.
She’ll destroy him.

Summary
"Pen and Alfie are having their third date on Friday night!" Hyacinth explained with the kind of giddy smile only a teenage girl could credibly muster, while simultaneously leaning over the table and attempting to steal Eloise’s wine glass. Penelope, meanwhile, looked directly up at the ceiling, mortified that once again the entire table was weighing in on her love life. Could she not have any peace?
"Hmmm." Colin pretended to consider the point, but he was mostly trying to stop his lip from curling. He did not like Alfie Debling. What kind of stupid name was that anyway? What grown man went by “Alfie”? He sounded like someone’s pet dachshund. “Ooo Alfie come here for belly rubs”, “Don’t shit on the rug, Alfie”.

Colin Bridgerton finds himself in the unenviable position of having offered to help Penelope Featherington cook a seduction dinner for her plant-loving paramour. It just happens to be the same dinner that was prepared for Colin before he lost his virginity, and it is bringing back regrets and all kinds of feelings for his best friend that he thought he had buried away for good.
Aka the NYT Pizza Interview we all wanted, featuring the Great Auk, Alfie x Alfie and the Contessa. -

Summary
“C’mon, get excited! Can’t start our marriage off with a sour face like that,” he chided, shooting her his most roguish grin.
Penelope’s heart gave a little lurch.
The marriage was a sham, of course. She and Colin were partners in the FBI, and before that they had been friends growing up. In fact, it was his insistence that she’d make an excellent field agent that had spurred her to apply in the first place.
Well, that and the small fact she was utterly in love with him.
The moment he’d proposed they go undercover to investigate what had happened to the lovely couple who had disappeared overnight from the highly-coveted Arcadia Falls neighborhood, Penelope knew she was in trouble. And yet, having given the idea precisely four seconds of thought, she’d agreed.

OR: Colin is Mulder and Pen is Scully (obviously) and they’ve got a mystery to solve, gang!

Summary
“So come now, Bridgerton. Are you ‘courting’ the girl?” Fife asked with a wiggle in his brow. He knew the real question. Have you taken liberties?
“Penelope Featherington?” He chuckled uncomfortably. “Are you mad?”
“I would never dream of ‘courting’ Penelope Featherington. Not in your wildest fantasies, Fife.”
“Oh.”
Colin whipped around, eyes wide.
“Pen!”

Summary
It's another hot summer at the lake and everyone is required to come.
Penelope Featherington wants two things out of the annual summer trip to the lake house, to play with her adorable nieces and to be left alone by everyone else with a book and a lawn chair. Her mother and sisters seem determined to not let that happen.
Colin Bridgerton wants to evade the personal questions from his too many siblings and go hide on a boat on the lake. However, every corner he turns, one of them is waiting.
But in the cluttered yard between their two families' houses, they find the peace and relief they have both been desperately seeking in each other.
Penelope and Colin have been best friends since they ran around barefoot every summer and a lot has happened in the two years since they last saw each other. But time doesn’t really matter when the person who knows you the best is back in sight.

Summary
“Penelope is intelligent and lovely,” Mother said, a knowing sparkle in her eye. “The gowns she has chosen this season certainly make her look like the woman she has become.”
“I had, uh, not noticed.” A muscle ticked in Colin’s jaw, betraying the lie as did his stutter. The effort he’d put into not staring at Penelope’s lips and breasts the last several weeks had been rewarded with tortured dreams where he looked, touched, and kissed—but never to his satisfaction.
And now that he had experienced his first real taste…“She is Pen,” he said, a reminder to himself.
She is your friend.

Summary
It was Penelope's wedding day. One moment, she was standing outside the church with her mother, and then the next, she was on a horse with Colin, charging full speed ahead, scared out of her mind. But the ride was not what frightened her...it was the fact that she had just run off with a man who was not her groom.

Summary
What if, after enduring more pain than she could ever imagine, Penelope finally gave in and told Colin how she felt?
---
“You don’t have to say anything. I get it.”
Penelope took three steps and felt a hand on her wrist. Colin grabbed her arm, pulling firmly, and spinning her around. His hand cradled her face as he bent down to kiss her, breathing her in as his lips covered hers.
That’s all it took for Penelope’s brain to short circuit. Colin was kissing her. It was soft and gentle, but sent sparks to all of her limbs. Her body turned into gelatin.
When they broke apart, she placed her hands on his chest, feeling the thud of his heartbeat underneath his shirt. His hand remained cradling her cheek.
“Why did you do that?” she asked quietly, her heart in her throat.
“I don’t know,” he breathed. He looked so young and scared suddenly. “I just felt like I should.”

Summary
Penelope wakes up Saturday morning with her head absolutely buzzing, she's expected to be hungover but this is a new side effect.
Burying her head under her pillow, she realises that the buzzing is not from her hangover but its her phone, endless notifications blowing it up. Instagram notifications? Why would she have so many Instagram notifications?
Penelope vaguely remembers snapping a series of pictures of her, Edwina and Genevieve going wild on the dance floor at the club last night but she wouldn't usually post them to Instagram. God, hopefully she hasn't posted a stray tit or something.
The number times Colin has been tagged is astounding, it looks as though the post is blowing up. Penelope has no idea how they've even found her post, she rarely has him on her page and never tags him. He does have a few unhinged super fans, maybe they have alerts set up for her posts?
Jesus, poor Colin. What the fuck has she posted?

Summary
“Damn you, both! I would never even consider a widow, I am not looking for anything like that! It simply will not happen, not in your wildest fantasies, Benedict!”
Penelope's chest begins to ache slightly at the laughter that rings out in response, she had expected to be a topic of conversation, that was only natural. But this was almost cruel, diminishing her to only her status when they had never even laid eyes upon her. Three years spent predominantly alone has weakened her defenses, no longer needing to shrug off whichever slight or insult her family had aimed her way.
She pulls back her shoulders and reminds herself that she does not have to stay if society proves to be more of this. She will give it a chance, introduce herself to her neighbours (perhaps avoiding the men), attend any balls or soirees she could get an invitation to and simply see if she fits. Her desire for company was not so great that she was willing to suffer for it. If the Ton proved to not be for her, then Abbey Hall awaits her back in Yorkshire. The only thing her late husband truly provided for her, a secure home should the worst happen and she had not managed to produce an heir.
