Something important.

Summary
Colin is determined, nay, obsessed, with hearing his son Samuel say “Papa” for the first time. But as the baby cheerfully repeats “Pen,” Colin sinks into a quiet spiral of insecurity. Penelope, ever perceptive, reminds him of the deep love he shares with their little family… in more ways than one. With a tender family moment turning into a passionate encounter, Colin finds reassurance in his wife’s care before reluctantly being dragged to White’s by Anthony and Benedict. A night of brotherly teasing, shocking confessions, and longing for home only confirms what Colin already knows: his heart belongs entirely to Penelope and their son.

Summary
After a single unexpected kiss, Colin Bridgerton’s world shifts irrevocably. What he once believed was simple friendship with Penelope Featherington now reveals itself as something deeper life-defining love. But when Penelope pulls away, determined to pursue a husband as society expects, Colin realizes too late that he wants to be that man. Torn between propriety and passion, he fights the ache of watching her slip away.
Penelope, meanwhile, steals herself to let go of the man she has quietly loved for years, believing his kiss meant no more to him than a fleeting moment. But Colin refuses to surrender to silence. One moonlit visit, a tree climbed in desperation, and a confession that spills straight from the heart changes everything.
Long-held feelings, whispered hopes, stolen kisses, emotional vulnerability...and a love that has always been there, waiting.
