Summary
Colin Bridgerton had it all: a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and a fulfilling career.
Saying he’s content is an understatement; he loves this life.
That is until he’s yanked from this reality and finds himself in the hospital, awakening from a coma.
It turns out he is not married and never has been. Penelope’s just his friend, his children don’t exist, and his perfect job is merely a pipe dream.
On a journey of rehabilitation, self-discovery, and grief, Colin must come to terms with the life he has and build it into the one that he dreamed of.
…trying to convince the girl he’s known as his wife of their wonderful life together shouldn’t be too tricky, right?

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is a rather popular travel influencer on Instagram and contributor to GQ magazine. He goes home for the holidays to visit his family after a particularly long stretch abroad. Somehow, he ends up going on an all-expenses paid trip to a little slice of heaven in the Caribbean with his best friend, Penelope Featherington. He’s not used to traveling with another person, but he finds himself rather looking forward to the time away with her even if he’s not sure what to expect. He expects it will all go according to plan. What could possibly go wrong when embarking on a trip with your best friend after all?
Penelope works in a junior position at a publishing house in London, scraping her way financially through young adulthood. She’s also doing her best to get over her decade plus long infatuation with her best friend Eloise Bridgerton’s older brother Colin. Somehow, she finds herself agreeing to accompany him on a trip to Turks and Caicos after the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t know how she’ll manage it, but Penelope is determined to ensure this trip goes smoothly and that she doesn’t let her heart get ahead of her brain. She and Colin will never be together romantically. Not in a million years.

Summary
Penelope woke up alone. Alone and in her childhood bedroom. For the third day in a row. Her hand slid down to her lower abdomen. The life that was supposed to be fluttering there did not exist yet and neither did the beautiful children that she had already given birth to.
She had three days to accept that something had happened that had sent her back to just before her first season. She wished she had more time, but with having to wake up every day in the wrong house, the wrong bed, without her husband and children—Penelope had to accept that her current present was her new reality.
No matter how often she cried every morning, hours before Rae came to get her ready for the day.

Summary
Colin is the star-player for a top NHL team; if there’s one thing he knows how to do, it’s win hockey games. He’s caught off-guard when he sees a pretty redhead on the jumbotron screen during the game with her head in a book instead of paying attention to the action on the ice.
Penelope can’t believe she was dragged to this hockey game. The only saving grace is Number 3 on the visitor’s team. He’s got smooth moves, and his ass looks damn good in that uniform.
After the game, Penelope and Colin have a chance meeting; and can’t believe their luck.
But when they speak, they find out they may have more in common than they ever realized: they’ve known each other since they were kids, but lost touch years ago when Colin moved to Canada. Now it’s up to them to see if they can rekindle that spark, or if it’ll cool right off.
This is the Polin hockey AU you never asked for, but you’re getting anyway.
