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
“But can you promise me Pen, that you wouldn’t do a disastrous thing like getting with one of my brothers. Or even worse, fall in love with one of them?”
**
She knew how it happened, knew what changed. It was when she started her job at Magazine Danbury a month after she finished University, it was when Colin decided he was staying home instead of whisking away to some place else in the world and got himself a job at the same company.
It was when Colin came into her life completely. As a colleague, as a friend, as something more.
And Penelope tried, she tried so hard to resist him with all of her heart.
But growing closer created a pull that was alluring, that was wanting, and that made Penelope weak to the knees. And being in close proximity with him these past couple of days, made her fall even deeper.
All of it, leading to this moment. The day after the conference which he invited her to. They were together in their hotel room, room no.165, naked under the sheets in the bed. Laying in the morning afterglow from a mind blowing night before and-
“What have we done Colin?”
“Something that we both wanted, for such a long time.”

Summary
“Colin! What are you doing here? When did you get back?” shouted Kate, as Anthony’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
“A couple of hours ago actually. I just landed at Heathrow and Ben picked me up,” he said. “I figured I would stop by to celebrate the new author. Speaking of, where is Penelope? I haven’t seen her yet.”
He actually hadn't seen or spoken to her since he left for Greece in March. The memory of the last time they were in the same room together had been plaguing his thoughts throughout his entire trip. She was so angry with him and he hoped that over time and through their physical distance apart, their friendship would grow back together, but his messages went unanswered.
or
Penelope is celebrating her book launch and Colin shows up unannounced after saying unsavory shit and disappearing for 5 months.

Summary
“Honestly, it’s already a disaster that he is oblivious. But Penelope, you pretending to pine over someone else when we all know it’s Colin you’re in love with? That’s chaos!” Eloise rants.
“He asked for a name, El! Should I have replied his?” Penelope says, planting her head on her palms. “We are friends, you know that.” She doesn’t speak her mind as she thinks, ‘I don’t count. I’m his friend, so I don’t count.’
--
They could cross that line. Maybe. Perhaps. Penelope isn’t entirely sure. No, she knows they can’t. So, she just reads her books, imagining hundreds of love stories that aren’t hers. They hurt less.
