Summary
Eloise Bridgerton has never been one to follow tradition—marriage, romance, and the stifling expectations of high society hold no appeal. At 23, she is a fiercely independent solicitor, pouring her energy into civil liberties cases rather than entertaining the notion of love. To her, relationships are nothing more than distractions, constraints disguised as happy endings. She is determined to build a life on her own terms—defined by ambition, intellect, and freedom—not by a ring on her finger.
But does love really demand sacrifice? Can she have both? She never even considered the question—never wanted to—until she met him.
A dorky, lanky botanist with caramel-blond hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen.
Philip-fucking-Crane.

Summary
When Colin Bridgerton, the ambitious CEO of Crew Nation, launched his elite lifestyle media brand, he was determined to be the top name in the industry. Polished, exclusive, and sophisticated, Crew Nation reflects everything Colin values about ambition and success. But his vision takes a hit when his company is suddenly dethroned by a rising star in the industry: The Bold Type, a vibrant and inclusive online publication led by the tenacious and charming Penelope Featherington.
With her heart-on-her-sleeve approach and commitment to diversity, Penelope has captured the attention and loyalty of readers from every walk of life. Colin's frustration grows as her brand climbs the ranks, forcing him to reevaluate his strategies and, begrudgingly, the values he holds dear. Determined to reclaim his place at the top, Colin sees Penelope as his fiercest rival. But as professional boundaries blur and tensions spark between them, they realize there might be a fine line between rivalry and attraction.
In a world of headlines, competition, and ambition, Colin and Penelope's journey unfolds into a story of unexpected love, where the greatest challenge might be learning to see each other beyond the ink.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.
