Summary
When forty year old Colin meets a vibrant twenty three year old Penelope at a restaurant bar, he tries to avoid her advances, before giving in entirely.
--
When she pulls back, he mourns the loss, but then she asks, “do you want to kiss me?”
And in that moment, he remembers how young she is. He looks down into her eyes, and sees the uncertainty. The bravado, confidence, it teeters on a knife's edge, a balancing act of substantial proportions. She needs him to take over.
The first brush of their lips together sends a shiver down his spine. It’s soft, sweet, tentative, and when she moans against his mouth, something inside of him snaps. He grabs her face between his hands, holding it steady while he devours her. Their tongues become embroiled with one another, and the sounds she’s making—god—he wants to eat her alive, all of a sudden. When he feels her body pressed into his, her soft breasts rubbing against his torso, his arousal spikes. But this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s not twenty three.

Summary
At 34 years old, Colin decides to adopt. What he didn't expect was that, upon crossing the doors of the children's home, he would find two people who would change his life: Agatha, a beautiful baby whom no one seems to choose, and Penelope, a pretty volunteer librarian at the home with whom talking becomes far too easy.
As the bond grows, Colin must make a decision that will change everything: to choose with his heart, even when time is not on his side.

Summary
"Can I help you find something?"
Penelope Featherington jumps at the sound of a voice coming from behind her. She shouldn't be surprised, however, that the young, dark-haired, friendly-looking man who was behind the counter earlier is checking on her now. She's been standing frozen for the last few minutes in front of a wide display of items lined up on a wall that are entirely foreign to her. They're entirely foreign to her because she's a virgin in a sex shop, and suddenly the grand plans she had coming in here today all feel very, very stupid.
--
Or, virgin Pen wanders into Colin's sex shop one day in an unusual beginning to their happily ever after.

Summary
Penelope met Colin when she was sixteen—and fell in love instantly.
Over the years, they became inseparable. Best friends. Constants in each other’s lives. The kind of bond that never needed explaining. Until, in the ninth year of their friendship, something shifted. Now they are more than friends—but never quite defined. And though Colin’s actions, his devotion, and the way he calls her sweetheart seem to say everything, Penelope still isn’t sure what they are.
So Colin does what he should have done all along—He tells her.
But its okay. All is well when it ends in smut.😏

Summary
Colin Bridgerton has a lot of things going for him. He's over six feet tall, has silky, chestnut brown hair that curls naturally in a most fashionable way, and a smile that's been known to make women ages 2 to 92 swoon. Beyond the surface-level things, he's also smart and interesting and treats others with kindness and respect regardless of how he knows them and what walk of life they're from. Objectively, he's an absolute catch. Any girl would be lucky to be his, even just for one night. So, why then, at 26 years old and with all that going for him, is Colin Bridgerton still a virgin?
--
Or, the one where Penelope platonically takes her best friend Colin's virginity and helps him through his sexual awakening.

Summary
"It makes perfect sense!" Penelope's eyes are bright with wine and conviction. "Think about it. We know each other. We trust each other. We both agree that virginity is some arbitrary social construct, so why are we letting it bother us? Let's just—" She makes a decisive cutting motion with her hand. "—get it over with."
"Pen—"
"Colin," she sighs dramatically. "We could die tomorrow. As virgins."
"We are not going to die tomorrow."
"We could. And it will kill us."
"Well, we’d already be dead, so—"
“We could die. Tomorrow. As virgins. I don’t know if there is a fate worse than that, Colin!”
The one where a question, posed under the weight of alcohol, leads to more than either bargained for.

Summary
"I have needs," he blurts out, and then his face does something awful, crumbling almost, before he catches and rights it out of habit. "Fuck. That came out wrong. I don't mean—I'm not—" His hands are shaking. "I need help, Pen. And I think you might be the only person I trust enough to ask."
Colin asks. Penelope gives. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the structure starts to fail.

Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.
