    Summary

    Colin thought he was doing a nice thing. He thought he was being a good friend. He thought Pen would be lonely on her impulsive trip to Ibiza after her dud of a fiancee broke up with her. He thought she'd appreciate his company and that he dropped everything he was doing in New York to spend the week with her and help her have a little fun. What he hadn't spent much time thinking about, however, were his best friend's honest motivations for this solo holiday…

    Or, Penelope goes to Ibiza to get laid after ending her engagement and Colin unknowingly accompanies her to fulfill that goal and much, much more.

    Summary

    Violet Bridgerton has had enough of her three eldest sons refusing to engage with the marriage mart. She has seen her daughters Daphne and Francesca married in the last four seasons but she wants more grandchildren and she wants them now.

    And so, in the week before the whole family and ton are due to descend on Aubrey Hall for the annual Hearts and Flowers Ball, Lady Violet has invited a select group of eligible ladies to the Hall to participate in a series of challenges where the ultimate prize is up for grabs: marriage to one of the three oldest Bridgerton brothers. Penelope Featherington is on her fourth year on the mart with no prospects.

    (Regency AU -
    multichap fic I will correct the chapter count on update.
    Whistledown exists, Colin didn’t make any foolish declarations in the Featherington gardens, Penelope and Eloise are grand. Prudence is still unmarried. This started out as a purely crack fic but I accidentally kept adding plot and making myself cry. There is still quite a lot of crack though. If you crave period accuracy, sorry. I researched some bits with fervour and then hugged an anachronism or two for the giggles.
    I’m trying to be consistent, but I make the rules and my brain is wonky).

    Summary

    The Featherington family inherit a house, and it brings Penelope within punching distance of Colin Bridgerton.

    He’s maddeningly cute, ridiculously nice (which is stupidly hot), and has some weird ideas about the rules of ‘yellow car’.

    There’s a spark, for sure. Is it friendship? Or is it more? There are a lot of teenage hormones in the mix so it’s hard to know, but it shouldn’t take them long to figure out, right? Right?!

    Summary

    “This is sad.”
    “It’s Titanic, Kate. It’s hardly a comedy.”
    “Not the movie. The fact that we’re sitting here on a Saturday night. Alone. Eating chocolate and drinking wine.”
    “What do you suggest.”
    “I’m just saying – we created the biggest dating app in the UK and look at us.”

    ——-

    Kate Sharma, Sophie Baek and Penelope Featherington created the biggest dating app in the UK; it was time for them to use it in an attempt to find their own true loves.

    And it just so happened that at the same time journalist Colin Bridgerton was asked to report on the success of Roses & Rakes, and how better to measure its success than create profiles for himself and his two elder brothers?

    Summary

    At four-and-forty, Colin Bridgerton found himself wanting more from life than travel. Something steady. Something that lasted.

    What he didn’t expect was to propose to a freshly debuted girl—Penelope Featherington—in a desperate bid to salvage her reputation.

    Who cared about a twenty-seven-year age gap, anyway?
    Apparently, Colin did.
