    Summary

    It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.

    It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.

    “Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.

    Colin throws back the last of his drink.

    And Penelope moved on from him.

    -

    After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.

    The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.

    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

    He sees his parents exchange glances. “Penelope is included in that,” Edmund reassures him. “She is practically one of us after all.”

    “Penelope,” he says slowly, as he tries to work out his words before he says them. “Is not my sister. And you said sisters.”

    Or

    The six times someone told Penelope or Colin they were like brother and sister, and the one time they truly, absolutely, positively proved they weren't.

    Summary

    Colin was a writer at heart, which meant he had a very vivid imagination. For years, he’d resigned himself to think that the sight of Penelope, sweet as peaches and cream, would be just that: imaginary.
    Fate, that damned mistress, proved much crueler.

    Summary

    “She gave me an offer…”

     

    Colin leaned in closer, close enough his knee brushed against hers. She felt a shiver run up her thigh. “What kind of offer?”

     

    Penelope took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts and composure. “The Queen wants me to go on a Grand Tour. She wants me to be her eyes and ears in Europe, to report back on the high society there.”

     

    Colin turned away and sat in silence a moment before turning back to her, his voice steady and resolute. “What if I come with you?”

     

    After Penelope reveals herself as Lady Whistledown, the Queen commissions Penelope to go on a Grand Tour, and Colin is determined to accompany her. As they navigate the courts of Europe, they soon see that the Napoleonic Wars had a much more significant influence on Europe than they realised. Still, as they face intrigue, secrets, and potential dangers... they also have to come face-to-face with their feelings for one another.

    Summary

    Penelope had been certain — certain! — that Colin would one day return her affections.

    When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.

    After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.

    One question lingers in the back of her mind — why on earth does Colin look so stricken to find her doing just that?

    Let it be known that one Mrs. Penelope Bridgerton née Featherington is the most ignorant and naïve woman in all of London. And perhaps also the luckiest. – Lady Whistledown

    Or, an exercise in seeing just how far one can push the "Pen is Oblivious to Colin Returning her Feelings" trope.
