    Summary

    Colin chuckled. ‘Please. I could have you screaming my name in minutes.’

     

    ‘Prove it then.’

     

    Nope. She hadn’t meant to say that part out loud. Not at all.

     

    — —

    Penelope and Colin used to be friends. Now they can barely exist in the same room without starting an argument.

    What was supposed to be a relaxing girls trip at Aubrey Hall quickly turned into something else for Penelope.

    Summary

    Penelope had grown accustomed to the chaos of Bridgerton family dinners by now. After the time Gregory accidentally set the table on fire in his excitement over Kate going into labor, she thought she had become truly prepared for anything.

    She had been wrong. So very, very wrong.

    The most pressing issue was the fact that she shouldn’t be at this particular dinner. At least not this version of her. She could see her 17-year-old self gaping in her direction, just as stunned as the rest of the invited guests, which included her mother, her deceased father, her sisters… Marina. After all, this was the night that the Featheringtons and the Bridgertons had come together to celebrate Colin’s rather-sudden first engagement.

    She remembered the evening well. In excruciating detail, in fact. How handsome Colin looked. How doting he’d been to his fiancé. How silently Pen had been screaming the entire night, just hoping someone would hear her. She distinctly did not remember some future version of herself barging in during the main course, with a sleeping two-year-old in her arms.

    Summary

    It's a lovely summer day and Colin Bridgerton has proposed to Penelope Featherington.

    Which is surprising considering they're not really dating and were supposed to fake a breakup.

    But, the real twist is still to come: What will Penelope say?
