    Summary

    Colin never confessed his love for Penelope—how could he? A third son without title or purpose could never compete with Lord Debling, especially when Penelope seemed so content by his side.

    The day after her wedding, he leaves Mayfair, desperate to escape the torment of what could never be.
    He doesn’t know her secret—that she is Lady Whistledown.
    He will only learn the truth later.

    A year of restless wandering across the continent does nothing to quiet his heart.
    When he finally returns to Mayfair, he faces the truth he always knew: his heart belongs to Penelope.

    But society demands distance, and friendship is the most he can hope for—until tragedy strikes, and Penelope is no longer the woman she once was.

    Will Colin find the courage to fight for her, even when all seems lost?

    A tale of longing, heartbreak, and a love that refuses to fade—leading, at last, to the ending they were always meant to have.

    Summary

    Book Two of The Journey Across

    Penelope Featherington was lost — to London, to her friends, to the man who once called her special. But after months of silence, heartbreak, and desperation, she has been found. Rescued from the edge of ruin by Colin Bridgerton, she now finds herself aboard The Penelope.

    But rescue is not the same as restoration.
    Colin is injured. Portia is ill. Prudence is barely speaking. And the ship that was meant to carry them home remains battered in a foreign port.

    As the days stretch on in Georgetown, Penelope begins to reclaim pieces of herself — in words, in ritual, in quiet acts of care. Colin, too, must come to terms with what was nearly lost, and what he must become if he’s ever to be worthy of her.

    While The Penelope undergoes repair, so do the lives aboard it. Secrets will be uncovered. Bonds will be tested. And love — in all its complicated, unexpected, and sometimes scandalous forms — will begin to take root in the most unlikely places.

    Because sometimes, being found is just the beginning.
    Now comes the hardest part: choosing what — and who — is worth holding onto.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope have circled each other for two decades, playing a perpetual game of tug-of-war over who will have the courage to ask. The equally spellbinding and agonizing reality of being in love with your best friend offers a kind of delicious torture that the two creatives wield as both a weapon and a shield.

    Or, against the stunning backdrop of Ojai, California, where Pen is leading her first writer’s retreat, maybe, just maybe, someone will finally take the leap.
