    Summary

    Penelope asked for one night. Just one night. She wasn't going to die as a virgin. And Colin, her closest friend, was happy to help in this endeavor.

    Now, returning for his mother's birthday, Colin finds that Penelope hides a rather large secret from him. One that might destroy the entire family if she reveals it.

    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 is not certain she likes this plan as it seems to mean Colin will not be signing her dance card. Again.

    But Colin is resolute. He will stay home with their inconsolable, teething son. He must stay. His heart commands it.

    Penelope will go to the masquerade ball alone. She must go. The Queen commands it.

    ————

    “You have important work to do, my love,” he tells her with a soft smile. “Someone has to keep the Bridgerton-Featherington name in the Queen’s good graces. And I am certain that someone is you and not me. And definitely not Elliot, in his current mood.”

    She smiles at him then, and Colin feels the warm glow of pride he always gets when he makes Penelope smile.

    “You look ravishing, by the way.” His gaze drifts over her body, taking in her luscious curves. “I’m going to need to get a much closer look at you in that swashbuckling costume when our little Lord allows.”
