    Summary

    His mother was convinced he’d only moved to Notting Hill to have his own great love story. And while, yes, he may have the floppy hair and bumbling Britishness required of a Richard Curtis character, the current state of his love life (nonexistent) has Colin convinced his Hugh Grant moment is still a long way off.

    Summary

    “Colin Bridgerton! You think you have knocked me up again?”

    “Indeed, I filled you up.”

    “What was it again - Oh Colin please fill me up, Need more of your babies hmm” He attempted to mimic her voice, raising the pitch. She tossed her head back with laughter before pinching his elf ears.

    “I did not say that!”

    “Oh you did like this…” Before he could try out his luck with an imitation again, she clamped her fingers above his mouth.

    “Fine, fine. I might as well be with child then.”

    On the night of the masquerade ball, Colin and Penelope sneak into his old bedchamber because, of course, they are yet to christen it, and one must not decline when the opportunity presents itself to do so.

    Part 2 is out now!

    Summary

    “Are you kidding?” Michael grinned, cradling Penelope’s chin in his palms. “Look at her! This face! These eyes! Those freckles! That hair!” He threw his arm around Penelope’s shoulders and squeezed. “She’s a perfect little elf!”

    Penelope blushed. “So you just thought of the shortest person you know”, she commented wryly.

    “I thought of the best person for the job”, Michael responded. “And that’s you”.

     

    Michael Stirling is playing Santa and needs an elf to help. Colin Bridgerton doesn't like it one little bit...
