    Summary

    After turning thirty, Penelope decides she's done waiting for the perfect man and wants to be a mother. With the help of an esteemed fertility clinic, she selects a sperm donor and gets pregnant on her own. Scared to deal with the judgement of others, she lies and says that her ex boyfriend who moved away is the father.

    Though she and Colin have drifted in recent months, when he finds out her news, he vows to support her and show up for her and her baby. Her feelings for him muddy the waters, and she does her best to keep him at arms length during such an emotional time.

    --

    It all started with a brochure. 

    When Philippa struggled to get pregnant with her second, she and Albion looked into every option they could think of. At another painful Featherington family tea, Portia rattled off a list of old wives tales of sex positions they could try, earning groans and gags from all four of her daughters. Penelope glanced at the table, where the brochure lay forgotten, the words “Mayfair Fertility Clinic and Sperm Bank” sprawled in elegant typeface across the front, as though it were a fine dining menu and not an institution where men jerked off into cups.

    Summary

    “...we invest the said Mr. Colin Bridgerton, and the lawful heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, to the dignity, title, style, and honor of Marquess of Hartleigh…”

     

    His throat had gone dry. The words on the page did not make sense to him.
    “Um,” he tried, chuckling hoarsely. “Your Majesty, what is - I don’t…”
    “Yes?”
    Eloquence escaped him. “…what is this?”
    The Queen looked mildly annoyed. “Why, I should think it is obvious. You, Mr. Bridgerton, are to be the next Marquess of Hartleigh.”

    One accidental act of heroism, and Colin Bridgerton finds himself elevated to the British peerage. Yet the Queen’s reward comes with a price: as the newly minted Lord Hartleigh, he’s been given an ultimatum - produce an heir within the next eighteen months. And, of course, to do so, he requires a wife. Urgently.

    So why can’t he just pick a debutante and be done with it? And why is he far more interested in spending time in the very enjoyable company of his very good friend, Penelope Featherington?

    Summary

    NOW COMPLETE!

    Colin:
    Am I stalking my neighbor Penelope? Yes. Is that necessarily a bad thing? Surely not. Look, I realize it sounds bad, okay? But I take care of Penelope's problems whenever they arise. Just look at her ex-boyfriend, for example. He was trouble. Now he’s not around anymore. See? I solve problems. Whenever Penelope needs help, I’ll be there for her. It’s just who I am. Besides, if you aren’t obsessed with the one you love, are you even in love?

    Penelope:
    Someone is stalking me. I can’t figure out who it is, but I know they’re out there. And the worst part is, now they’re after my sweet neighbor Colin. I’ve accidentally dragged him into my dark web of true crime and sleuthing, and now he’s in danger. It’s a good thing I can keep him close. And not because of his gorgeous eyes and hard body. No, it’s because I want to keep him alive. After all, I have a stalker, and I can’t let Colin be their next victim.

    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.
