Summary
Penelope Bridgerton has not seen or heard from her husband in two years, since being forced to marry him three years prior.
Unable to be in the same household after a year of marriage, Colin leaves on another tour, leaving Pen alone in their Bloomsbury home. Abandoned and alienated, she begins to lose herself, at a loss for how to mend her broken marriage to a man that despises her. After two years, a missive is sent to let her know her wayward husband will soon return. She decides she will suffer no more, and embarks on her own journey. A journey of not only self discovery, but of understanding and forgiveness.
Colin could not stand to live with a woman he both loved, and loathed. The raging war between his mind and his heart became too much. He also knew he was being too hard on her, but he still felt it was only a fraction of the pain she'd caused him. It was all far too much to bear. So, he did what he normally does, he ran away. After years of traveling country to country, losing himself in drink and women, he decides to return home.
Imagine his surprise, to find his wife is no longer there.

Summary
“Penelope.”
He means it as a question; he truly does, but his voice cracks along the syllables and then, suddenly, she is leaning into him, her free hand coming up to his chest, fingers curling in the lapel of his waistcoat. He feels whiplashed, racing thoughts subsiding entirely as her mouth grazes his. Her lips are soft and warm, tasting of port and berries, and he sighs without meaning to, but does not move.
He should, he knows. Should do something, say something, but his mind is blissfully blank, and his lips now taste of berries, and this is Penelope, Pen, and that single fact seems to erase all else. For there is nothing but the heat of her, and the pressure of her mouth, and the impossible fact of Penelope Featherington—his Pen—is kissing him. And beneath the shock, beneath all of it, is something bright and startled that feels terrifyingly like delight.
Wherein a little tincture handcrafted by Hyacinth with some... generous measurements leads to one ruinous night.

Summary
The Bridgertons have thirty-five days to come up with a plan to save Aubrey Hall, or lose it due to some minor financial mismanagement. There’s a loophole, though. If one of the heirs of the estate marries, their spouse can accept the property in a transfer and avoid forfeiture.
Naturally, Colin volunteers to marry Penelope. Platonically.
No problem, right?
