    Summary

    In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.

    —•—

    Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.

    Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.

    “Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”

    The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
     

    Shallow.

    Summary

    There are very strict practices around marriage and feminine virtue in regency era England. As a result, Viscount Edmund Bridgerton is tasked with deflowering the brides of each of his sons on their wedding nights. For the first two that marry off, he manages to complete the act with relatively minimal discomfort and confusion for all parties involved. With this third son and his newlywed bride, however, Edmund finds to his horror that his carefully constructed ritual falls apart almost immediately. He ends up experiencing a whole host of thoughts and feelings and sensations he wasn't prepared for when he beds Penelope Featherington, all of which have consequences that disrupt his mind, his soul, and the future of his family too.

    Summary

    "He had sent Penelope- beautiful, innocent, perfect Penelope- the deviant writings of an absolute madman. Writings that detailed the way he wanted her, ways that were decidedly ungentlemanly. She was going to think he was deranged."

    Summary

    “We’re friends. I’m happy to do you a favour.”

    She really does mean it. There is nothing Penelope wouldn’t do for Colin Bridgerton.

    But then he raises his eyebrows, clears his throat, and says, “I was wondering if you might consider letting me fuck you and pretend that I am trying to get you pregnant.” He pauses, pondering before he adds: “Please.”

    ---

    Or, after a series of increasingly unhinged sex dreams, Colin asks Penelope if he can roleplay getting her pregnant. Platonically, of course. That should get it out of his system.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has been trying to get over her crush on her best friend Colin Bridgerton for the last several years. It should be pretty easy to do considering he spends the vast majority of his time away from London and in far off corners of the world as part of his travel writing and social media enterprises. He’s never around and she only sees him a couple of times a year at most. However, it turns out her problem in being unable to get over him has nothing to do with how often she spends time with him in-person. Her problem is the telephone.

    --

    Or, the one where Penelope and Colin start having phone sex as “friends.”
