    Summary

    Colin knows the signs. Blood humming in his veins. Gut stirring with need. A temper that flares without rhyme or reason. His rut looms on the horizon, meaning it’s time to download the apps and go through the motions of mating simply to stave off biological need.

    It’s begrudging. Empty. Not at all what he wants and something that only satisfies his alpha. No, what Colin wants is a connection. Intimacy. Someone he can fall asleep beside and take to breakfast the following morning. And he is certain he won’t find that on the apps.

    But then he meets Anne, and his life is irreparably changed.

    Summary

    “You know, Annie and I were planning on getting dinner tomorrow. The Rose and Crown. If you and Chris want to come.” A tendon in his jaw jumped out before he added, “I’d love to get to know Chris better. Talk to him a bit more.”

    Air rushed from Penelope’s lungs, and she opened and closed her mouth as she searched for an excuse. Colin, the man she had always loved, just asked to spend more time with Penelope’s boyfriend, Chris, who admittedly had a great deal in common with Colin. All while Annie, a girl who looked like Penelope—just with an added cup size—observed from the sidelines.

    What an enticing idea. Definitely not something that would put her on edge before appetizers.

    Summary

    "It makes perfect sense!" Penelope's eyes are bright with wine and conviction. "Think about it. We know each other. We trust each other. We both agree that virginity is some arbitrary social construct, so why are we letting it bother us? Let's just—" She makes a decisive cutting motion with her hand. "—get it over with."

    "Pen—"

    "Colin," she sighs dramatically. "We could die tomorrow. As virgins."

    "We are not going to die tomorrow."

    "We could. And it will kill us."

    "Well, we’d already be dead, so—"

    “We could die. Tomorrow. As virgins. I don’t know if there is a fate worse than that, Colin!”

    The one where a question, posed under the weight of alcohol, leads to more than either bargained for.

    Summary

    Caught in a crisis of faith, Father Colin Bridgerton cries by his altar, tears dripping onto the floor under the red moonlight streaming into his church. He is just a man bound by sin, plagued by greed and expectation, desperate for a sign from his God validating that he is right in his devotion.

    He looks up, quickly realizing he is not alone. To his fear and joy, standing by the cross is an angel, beautiful, curious, and red, red, red.

    His God has sent him an angel.

    Summary

    Penelope asks her boyfriend, Alfred Debling, to meet her friend, Colin, in the park to partake in Alfie’s favorite hobby: birdwatching. He acquiesces, determined to still engage in his favorite pastime despite Colin’s status as an amateur.

    Penelope also asks her best friend, Colin, to meet her new friend, Alfie, in the park to partake in Colin’s new hobby. Despite being upset upon learning Pen won’t be coming, Colin agrees to meet Alfie, determined to get to know Penelope’s new friend.

    One would assume, after an afternoon full of puns, plumage, and plenty of revelations, that the two men would be birds of a feather.

    Right?

    Summary

    It's week before the wedding of Eloise Bridgerton and Phillip Crane. Guests flock to Number 5 for a wedding shower full of love, greenery, and champagne.

    It is here where best man Colin Bridgerton makes a stupid declaration: that never, in his wildest dreams, would he ever be anything more than friends with his best friend and the maid of honor, Penelope Featherington.

    What he doesn’t know, though, is that she hears this firm proclamation.

    That, now, he must navigate an uncomfortable new chapter of their friendship before their friends’ nuptials.

    That his statement may not accurately capture his true feelings for his best friend.

    And that his dreams can get pretty wild. Fantastical, even.

    Summary

    Reincarnation assumes that the nonphysical parts of our beings transmigrate to begin again after our passing; this rebirth can take many forms, including that of past-life soulmates, leading us to perpetually search for connections from previous incarnations of ourselves. When reunited with this person, an inexplicable feeling, familiar and magnetic, draws us together in profoundly wonderful ways.

    For some, this connection can manifest as an innate feeling of recognition. For others, this can be evoked through the senses, creating a feeling of nostalgia for something that never was but something that’s always been.

    For Colin and Penelope, two souls continually brought together through fate and drawn apart by circumstance, this connection can be terrifying, unexplainable, alluring, and electric.

    And, sometimes, all it takes is just a single touch to make one feel at home.

    Summary

    “Penelope! What’s that?!”

    Penelope chuckled airily, clearly uneasy now that everyone’s attention was fixed on her, and faced away so that he couldn’t see whatever it was that Gen referred to.

    “I… uh… got a tattoo.”

    Colin’s brain struggled to process anything else going on around him, instead swimming in visions of what tattoo she could possibly have gotten. Genevieve asked another question.

    “What does it say?”

    “Uh… it’s a… uh…” She blushed profusely as her eyes warily flitted over to Colin. His mouth opened slightly in lust and interest, enraptured by her voluptuous figure and curious to
    hear about the ink that now graced her upper thigh.

    “It’s a name.”

    -----OR-----

    Penelope gets a tattoo of a man's name on her leg. That man's name is not Colin. Jealousy flares when Colin then sees the tattoo.

    Summary

But that tradition only exists in the past, a bittersweet reminder of his father’s untimely death six months ago. In his struggle to process his grief and accept a new normal, he makes a vow to his sister’s friend, Penelope Featherington, promising that he will always be her date on February the 14th.

    And while he barely knows the girl, Colin always keeps his promises.

    OR

    Six years where Colin and Penelope spend Valentine’s Day together, experiencing just a handful of the myriad ways in which people express love, coming to understand how the love we receive impacts the love we think we can give.
