Summary
It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.
It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.
“Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.
Colin throws back the last of his drink.
And Penelope moved on from him.
-
After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.
The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.

Summary
When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.
Or, a Jane Eyre Au.

Summary
Penelope wakes up Saturday morning with her head absolutely buzzing, she's expected to be hungover but this is a new side effect.
Burying her head under her pillow, she realises that the buzzing is not from her hangover but its her phone, endless notifications blowing it up. Instagram notifications? Why would she have so many Instagram notifications?
Penelope vaguely remembers snapping a series of pictures of her, Edwina and Genevieve going wild on the dance floor at the club last night but she wouldn't usually post them to Instagram. God, hopefully she hasn't posted a stray tit or something.
The number times Colin has been tagged is astounding, it looks as though the post is blowing up. Penelope has no idea how they've even found her post, she rarely has him on her page and never tags him. He does have a few unhinged super fans, maybe they have alerts set up for her posts?
Jesus, poor Colin. What the fuck has she posted?

Spinsters do not need chaperones by ancoraimparo_youknowwho for Lilyofthevolume

Summary
In the year 1822, Mister Colin Bridgerton makes a grand return to England after almost 7 years of self imposed exile and reconnects with his estranged friend, Penelope. Will he be able to break the walls she keeps building between them and mend the bridges she is intent on destroying?
“What’s stopping you from living your life then, Pen? You’re living alone, aren’t you? No mother watching over your shoulder. No husband dictating your choices…”
“I mean, I can live alone, yes, but I’m still tethered. To reputation. To expectations. To the knowledge that no matter how independently I breathe, I will always be the subject of whispered pity or amusement. A woman alone is never just alone—she is sad, or defiant, or pitiful… never simply herself.”
“Come with me. For a month or two. See the world outside Mayfair parlours and boring soirees. You said you wanted to feel free. Let this be that.”
“But how? Where would we stay? What would people say, Colin? I’m not naïve—I know how this would look. Who would even accompany me as a chaperone?”
“Spinsters do not need chaperones, Pen. You said it yourself once.”

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?
