    Summary

    When forty year old Colin meets a vibrant twenty three year old Penelope at a restaurant bar, he tries to avoid her advances, before giving in entirely.

    --

    When she pulls back, he mourns the loss, but then she asks, “do you want to kiss me?”

    And in that moment, he remembers how young she is. He looks down into her eyes, and sees the uncertainty. The bravado, confidence, it teeters on a knife's edge, a balancing act of substantial proportions. She needs him to take over.

    The first brush of their lips together sends a shiver down his spine. It’s soft, sweet, tentative, and when she moans against his mouth, something inside of him snaps. He grabs her face between his hands, holding it steady while he devours her. Their tongues become embroiled with one another, and the sounds she’s making—god—he wants to eat her alive, all of a sudden. When he feels her body pressed into his, her soft breasts rubbing against his torso, his arousal spikes. But this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s not twenty three.

    Summary

    “Read it again Pen,” Colin said softly.

    She looked back at him, eyes wide and blinking, biting her lower lip, drawing in his attention.

    Until today, not an impure thought had passed through his mind of Penelope. He suddenly felt like the wind was knocked out of him. His eyes snapped up to hers, her blue eyes wide and blinking rapidly. He wasn’t sure what to say. It felt like the air had changed around them. All he could think about was her in that moment. Touching her hair, caressing her cheeks, kissing her lips.

    He took a deep breath. He could not make sense of the impulses he was having, “please, read it again.”

    She swallowed, turned back to the page, and started reading it again. He listened to her sweet voice recite the words of Byron. Did she pick this poem on purpose? ‘How could she’ he reasoned, ‘she’s never seen this book, how would she know’. He was so lost in thought; he didn’t realize she had finished. He wasn’t ready for her to stop reading, what was the last part? She looked over at him again. Had she moved closer to him? Or was he leaning into her?

    “Again,” He said, wondering if she could hear him as it came out almost as a whisper.

    Summary

    “The columnist who writes the Love and Sex column has had a medical emergency,” Penelope explains as she takes a fortifying sip of wine. “They want me to take over writing the column for her for an indefinite amount of time while she recovers.”
    Francesca gives Penelope an appraising look. “You’re nervous about this? Why?”
    “I suppose it’s two things,” Penelope says, looking into the middle distance between her friends. “First, it’s a lot of work.”
    “You’ve never been afraid of hard work, Pen,” Eloise offers.
    “Thank you, but second, and probably more importantly, I don’t think I have the requisite experience to do it well.”
    “Why? You’re a great writer,” Colin says from the corner where he’s been uncharacteristically quiet all night.
    Penelope feels herself flame red. “It’s not my writing that’s the issue.”
    --
    Or Penelope is given a work assignment to author a popular Sex Advice column but doesn’t feel she has had enough “experience” to do it well. Colin offers to “help.”

    Summary

    Colin chuckled. ‘Please. I could have you screaming my name in minutes.’

     

    ‘Prove it then.’

     

    Nope. She hadn’t meant to say that part out loud. Not at all.

     

    — —

    Penelope and Colin used to be friends. Now they can barely exist in the same room without starting an argument.

    What was supposed to be a relaxing girls trip at Aubrey Hall quickly turned into something else for Penelope.

    Summary

    He’d been enjoying his time in Thailand but home, with its graveyard of brownery and Penelope (Penelope), inspired Colin to cut his trip short by a week. Besides, he had to know if Lady Whistledown, the lady palm proven impossible to kill, had finally received comeuppance for her addiction to talking shit.

    Mostly, though, he was resolved.

    Colin didn’t want to dance around this anymore. He ascribed to Harry Burns’ school of thought on romance and every moment spent trying to feign indifference felt like a waste. He was going home, and he was going to make her witness what she did to him. No more pretending.

    Summary

    “Penelope Anne Featherington,” he says, turning to her with hands on his hips, expression gleeful. “Did you break the bed?”
    She does her best impression of a dog who’s ripped all the down from a pillow. He can’t prove anything.
    “I did,” she says.
    Damn. There’s always been a disconnect between her mouth and her brain.

    Penelope's bed breaks. Of course it's Colin who finds her.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton was not a fool, despite what his siblings might think. Nor was he merely a charming and handsome darling, as Lady Whistledown had labeled him in the past. No, Colin Bridgerton was well-read and well-educated, and he was observant, even though his current predicament required no real outlay of any of these qualities.

    Colin Bridgerton knew he had fallen out of favor with Penelope Featherington.

    Watch as Colin Bridgerton goes to increasingly mad lengths to keep Penelope Featherington safe and sound (and away from other suitors).

    Summary

    It’s perfectly normal to keep a secret spreadsheet of your bestie’s likes and dislikes, right? Just to keep track, just to make sure you buy their favourite snacks and stuff. And if she happens to mention some sexy stuff then it’s fine to add that to the list too, right? Just in case.

    ———

    “Colin nestles down into his bed, adjusts his glasses and pulls up the spreadsheet on his phone.

    He adds a new category titled Sex and adds a Likes and Dislikes column.

    He busily adds various things she mentioned and because he’s a bit (quite) drunk he adds little comments too.”

    Summary

    What if Penelope reacted differently when Colin accused her of trapping him?

    Penelope ran away from the Ton, giving Colin what she thought he desperately wanted: his freedom. She loves him too much to allow him to be trapped in a loveless marriage with her.
    Colin never expected to lose Penelope; his anger towards her pushed her to leave him, promising he would never have to see her again.

    Thanks to the money she made as Lady Whisteldown, she fled to Greece, passing as a young widow named Anne Bridges. She is set to be a single mother and raise her child away from a society that never cared for her and from a father who would think the child is only a product of her "plan entrapment".

    Thanks to the help of his brothers, Colin will do even the impossible to get his Pen back.

    Summary

    “Thomas- Mr. Spencer has not… dishonored me at all,” she said, as though the idea was preposterous - no, offensive. The implication of it, of Penelope’s loyalty to this villain, made something dark curl inside Colin’s throat.

    “Your allegiance to a man who has harmed you worries me greatly.”

    “Harm? Colin, he has never harmed me.” Penelope took a great breath, meeting Colin’s eyes as she spoke next. “He is my lover.”

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton never intended to take another wife—not after losing Marina, the woman he truly loved. But when her favourite cousin, Penelope, arrives for her debut season, he is unprepared for the way she upends his carefully guarded world.

    The bookish little girl he met just once is now a stunning young woman, full of life, hope, and impossible temptation.

    Tasked with finding her a husband, Colin instead hoards her attention, sabotages her suitors, and crosses lines a guardian should never cross. But the more he fights his desire, the more he realises—he doesn’t want to protect her innocence… he wants to claim it.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope hook up and shit gets complicated. But at least the sex is good.

    --

    Penelope was standing at the edge of a cliff, debating if she should fall. She knew he was baiting her. Why he was baiting her, she didn’t quite understand yet. At the end of the day, whether it was the alcohol, the endless sense of frustration, or moreso just the idea that she had nothing left to lose, she decided to leap.

    “I wasn’t. I wasn’t thinking of them when I drank.”

    Colin turned his head away from her and looked out at the street in front of them, a smile pulling at his lips. “No? Well that’s interesting.”

    “Is it?”

    He faced her again, taking half a step forward. “Who were you thinking of?” His eyes drilled into hers with surgical precision, the dark blue getting darker.

    She took a deep breath, feeling the blood heating in her veins.

    “You.”

    “Me?”

    She nodded pathetically, any attempts to be playful and witty blown away with the breeze.

    “You want to fuck me, Pen?” His smirk was subtle, but wicked, his words sending a delicious zing down between her legs again where she throbbed at even the notion.
