Summary
She never felt this confident in a service before and slowly, she began to forget about that food critic and their remarks about her (wonderful) risotto. She wiped her hands on her apron, smiling as she looked around the kitchen.
That was, until she heard two of the servers whispering harshly to one another, rapid and urgent.
“You tell her.”
“No, you should do it. She likes you better.”
Or Penelope is the head chef of one of London's hottest new restaurants, Whistledown and Colin, well, he's the guy that doesn't like her risotto.

Summary

There’s only one person who can help him fix this. The only problem? He hasn’t spoken to her in seven years.

Summary
Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).
He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.
Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.
.OR: post-divorce, Colin Bridgerton takes his friend Penelope on a road trip to Italy
