    Summary

    A year ago, Colin was still searching every corner of the earth he could get to for a purpose.

    A year later, in the house across the Square from his childhood home, he has found more purpose than most do in a lifetime.

    He is grateful for all of it. Joyful, disbelieving at his own luck, and endlessly grateful.

    But it is quite a lot to balance, now. He wonders often if he is truly up to the task.

    _____

    This is second in a series of Married Polin stories in which Colin and Penelope navigate what Happily Ever After actually looks like. Just because an initial love story gets a happy ending does not mean everything comes easily. There is work to maintain that HEA. Happy work. Work that is worth it. But still: WORK.

    Summary

    Sir Colin was accustomed to difficult work, feats of physicality. He had climbed hills, built walls, and performed in jousts. He had triumphed in battle, and even saved a maiden or two. He had done everything a good knight should do.

    But he had never climbed a mountain.

    Or, Colin is a knight (but not really), and Penelope is the dragon he's sent to slay.

    Summary

    While travelling back to Aubrey Hall for Christmas, Colin Bridgerton finds himself caught in a major snowstorm. His driver manages to get him to the nearest safe dry building, which just so happens to be the Featherington country estate. Penelope meanwhile has been left home alone for a couple of days – her mother had gone to visit a friend before the festive period – and suddenly finds herself host to a single man, her friend’s brother and the boy she’s had a crush on forever. As the storm rages on, bringing England to a standstill, it becomes clear that Colin and Penelope are going to have to put up with each other until the weather clears.
