Summary
This is a slow burn story. ❤️🔥
Colin Bridgerton was never supposed to notice Penelope Featherington — the quiet girl with the soft smile who always seemed to be somewhere on the edge of his loud, glittering world.
But when he discovers she can’t hear him, everything he thought he understood about love begins to change.
Because the more he learns her silence, the more he realises he’s the one who’s been living without sound.
A modern AU where a golden boy learns to listen — and finds the one heart that’s been speaking to him all along.

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
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.
"I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."
Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.
"Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"
Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"
"I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"
"Yes."

Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.
