    Summary

    After two failed relationships Penelope has sworn off men and dating and bought a fixer upper flat so she can stand independently on her own two feet. She hires Bridgerton Construction to help with the remodel and much to her chagrin Colin is assigned to her project.

    She tended to avoid him whenever she could, but with him at her flat every day it is impossible, so politely distant it was...which was really hard when he was so kind, so sweet, so funny and so ridiculously handsome.

    And why was he looking at her like he found her equally charming?

    Summary

    Seven Years ago, Colin Bridgerton left his family, friends, and a broken heart in Bath, England, to start over and move on from his broken engagement with Marina Thompson. He was offered a promotion to Lieutenant in a busy and challenging firehouse in London, and he took it. Still, the night before he left, his best friend Penelope Featherington, the pretty and petite redhead next girl, confessed her feelings and asked him not to go. He was in no way ready to even consider being with her. She was five years younger and was in her senior year at Oxford. She was amazing and not the woman you rebound with. She was the woman you likely married, and after being hurt by Marina, he had to leave. He told her he couldn't feel the same for her yet and needed to do this for himself. She left with tears, and he left without saying goodbye.

    Present-day
    Pen owns a bakery and coffee house. Her business is thriving, but her social life is not, to say the least. Every Thursday Night, though, she gets to spice things up as the anonymous Romance advice podcaster Lady Whistledow. One Thursday, while recording, fire destroys her home, and her crush returns to save her from the blaze. Yep, Colin is back in the bath.
