    Summary

    “Only got the one room left, I’m afraid,” says the older woman. “The storm, you see. It’s stranded a bunch of travelers just like yourselves.

    “The one room will suit us perfectly,” Colin says with as much confidence as he can muster. He steps closer to Penelope, smiling at her as he holds a hand out for her to take, imploring her to play along with his eyes. “Don’t you agree, darling?”

    For her part, Penelope looks a little stunned by the term of endearment, but she doesn’t miss a beat as she slips her hand into his.

    “Yes. I believe it will, husband,” she replies.

    — OR —
    Colin comes home from his travels early only to happen upon a stranded Penelope on his way to Aubrey Hall to reunite with his family for the holidays. Unfortunately, heavy snowfall forces the pair to stop for the night and seek shelter at an inn where *gasp* there was only one bed.

    Summary

    “Would you help me?” she asked.

    “What?” The tea cup nearly slipped from his grasp.

    “I think I just need some help to…make things interesting–for the story, I mean.”

    “Oh…um…of course, I’d love to help you, Pen,” he said quietly before adding, “but, I’m not sure how?” His massive frame shrunk, shy and hesitant – a stark contrast to the typically poised, confident Colin Bridgerton she knew.

    “Well, I think the biggest challenge is going to be…positioning. My characters have a height difference, kind of like you and me.” She could feel her cheeks flush at her admission, but she bravely continued. “If we could just…simulate various positions–clothes on and everything…that might help?”

    OR Penelope asks Colin to help her simulate sex positions so she can figure out the logistics of smut. As a friend.

    Summary

    A warmth spread through her, consuming her, until even the air seemed too thick to draw into her lungs. She pressed her palms against her knees, as though to steady herself, yet her mind would not be stilled. She saw again that brief flash of his smile, the one that had undone her entirely, and her breath trembled.

    What foolishness this was. What wicked foolishness. And yet… she could not summon the shame she knew she ought to feel. Her sisters often spoke of temptation as something that hunted the innocent, but Penelope could not help but feel, in that moment, that it was she who hunted it.

    OR

    Deemed hopeless on the marriage market and quietly sent away to a convent, Penelope spends five quiet years trying to tame her heart before taking her vows. But when a young farmer begins assisting Sister Agatha, his gentle presence awakens feelings she ought never to harbour. Try as she might, Penelope cannot banish these wicked longings, nor the dangerous hope that her life beyond the convent walls might yet be her own.
