Summary
When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.
Or, a Jane Eyre Au.

Summary
In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.
—•—
Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.
Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.
“Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”
The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
Shallow.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has always felt like an outsider, even among those who love her best.
She knows the rules: Smile, laugh, belong just enough. Never ask for more. Never hope too loudly.
So, when Colin Bridgerton asks her to be his date to a wedding she really doesn't feel welcome at, Penelope says yes. Of course she does, it's Colin. Hasn't it always been Colin?
Among the fabulous wealth and beautiful people, Penelope pretends she fits. She pretends she isn’t breaking in two every moment of every day.

Summary
“This is my fault,” the Viscount said. “I should have taken him to a brothel long ago.” He gulped down his drink. “I should take him now.”
“What use would it have?” Benedict asked. “He’s already engaged, he’d reject the offer in favour of his beloved fiancé.”
“Beloved?” Anthony laughed humorlessly. “He’s too green. I bet you all it’d take for him to abandon this nonsense is to find a willing girl to wet his wick with.”
“What does that mean?” Penelope asked. She did not mean to, but the prospect of Colin saving himself from entrapment prompted her to blurt the question out.
After accidently hearing a rather crude declaration from Colin's older brother, Penelope decides to put the put it to the test.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is bound and determined to get over Colin Bridgerton after overhearing him laughing about her with her cousin. She thinks she’s done a pretty great job thus far. She has a job she loves, friends she adores and a respectable boyfriend – all whilst keeping Colin at arm’s length.
It isn’t until Debling’s dark secret is exposed for the world (and the tabloids) to see that she begins to realise that maybe her resistance is futile. Especially when Colin is so set on supporting her through the worst time in her life. Will she be able to get through this whilst also keeping her already battered heart protected?

Summary
When Colin opened the door for Penelope that day, he hadn’t realized that his life as he knew it was about to change. As he took her coat, it hadn’t occurred to him that he didn’t have all the time in the world to smile at her or enjoy her smiles or to jokingly battle with Eloise over who would have the honor of escorting her to the dining room where everyone was gathered. No, Penelope was his, ever since childhood, and he couldn’t conceive of a world where he didn’t have his best friend.

Summary
Colin maintained that his recent bout of lunacy was, in its entirety, all Penelope Featherington’s fault. For, had she not been so very resolute in her refusal to speak to him after an off-season's worth of unanswered letters, it was wholly possible that – after having overheard his mother lamenting both the state of the Featherington baronry and the effects of Lady Featherington’s now rather indiscreet baby race on Penelope’s chances at a felicitous (if practical) match – Colin would have acted far more rationally than to orchestrate a not-so-clandestine, not-so-very-appropriate, and also not-at-all-truthful midnight tryst between them in the orangery at Vauxhall Gardens.
(Maybe.)
After all, if it was simply time Penelope needed to work her way towards forgiving him and restoring their once warm friendship, as his mother had suggested… Well, then a lifetime together would certainly suit that, with change to spare, wouldn’t it?
— or, Penelope is a storm Colin is determined to weather. A different take on the entrapment of it all.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is officially over Colin Bridgerton.
Deservedly so. She’d worked tirelessly over the last twelve months to move on from him. She’d listened to Lizzo on repeat, read every self-help book under the sun, been to therapy, and even changed the plot of her novel from a coming-of-age romance to a zombie thriller in a world devoid of men. In fact, she was seeing someone, not exclusively, but it was certainly heading in that direction. She’d done everything in her power to move on from her stupid, heart-wrenching, soul-destroying crush. Everything short of having a lobotomy.
Which was why it was a tad concerning that she’d just shagged him.
