    Summary

    What began as whispers among the ton — rumors of a grand matchmaking ceremony decreed by the Queen — soon became reality. No one could predict who would be bound together under Her Majesty’s watchful eye, and Penelope Featherington dreaded the outcome as much as Colin Bridgerton resented the intrusion.

    When the night arrived, Penelope’s worst fears seemed inevitable… until the herald called Colin’s name, followed by hers. Stunned into disbelief, she could scarcely move until Lady Bridgerton urged her forward. Colin, already at her side, gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and stepped boldly before the throne — a silent promise that whatever came of this, she would not face it alone.

    From that moment, their bond shifted. Yet in the quiet of his own chamber, Colin’s thoughts betrayed him. He imagined what it would mean to cross that final boundary. To see Penelope not just as his dearest friend, but as his wife in every sense. The thought unsettled him, even as it stirred a desire he could no longer ignore.

    Such an incredible read. A lovely telling of Colin and Penelope‘s story. All the ways Penelope observed, cared for and loved Colin through his struggles with reading. How that love molded him into the person he became . Once Colin comes to grips with his feelings, his love for her, it pours out through his words. Words that she gave him the strength and skill to use. Caused me to cry at certain points. Worthy of going on my reread list for sure.

    What an epic journey of heartbreak and healing. Pen and Anthony together with Colin and Edwina. A shared son. The story is a piece of art. It hurt to read it but in totality it is a beautiful story of hope, healing and love.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope both know what it means to be misunderstood, to feel unseen by the people who are meant to love them unconditionally. From the very beginning, though, they see each other and forge a bond that becomes a testament to finding comfort and safety in love and in the family we choose, not just the one we're born into.

    Summary

    Being trapped in an elevator wasn’t on Penelope Featherington’s agenda for the Chicago Marketing Summit, nor was having a heart-to-heart with Colin Bridgerton—the marketing golden boy she’s silently followed and admired. Yet, after one hour of unexpected closeness, they step out with plans for a dinner that’s less about networking and more about the sparks that flew when the elevator stopped. As they navigate their new bond in the vast world outside the elevator, the question remains: can their connection survive in the real world, or was it just a perfect moment suspended in time?
