Summary
To the ton, Penelope Featherington is a dull, shy wallflower and Lord Debling is a peculiar, proper naturalist.
Colin Bridgerton, naturally, thinks he knows exactly what Penelope needs, and is determined to explain why she should never marry Debling.
He couldn’t possibly be more wrong.
Because behind closed doors, the quietest couple in London has a rather different understanding of what constitutes a respectable courtship.

Summary
“Penelope Featherington, you climbed all those steps just to come and see me in my tower, which means something must be wrong,” comes Agatha’s clipped voice from the other end of the door. “I see no sense in prolonging things, so you may as well come in.”
Penelope murmurs a quiet apology as she enters, shutting the heavy door behind her. Further into the room, Agatha Danbury beckons her over to where she’s seated by the fireplace, deep purple robes billowing around her.
“You look frightened, child,” Agatha says. “What is it that could possibly have you worked into such a state?”
“Colin Bridgerton—” Penelope says, still attempting to catch her breath from the climb.
“Ah.”
Penelope ignores the knowing timbre in Agatha’s voice and pushes forward.
“I believe he is under a love spell.”
— OR —
The one where Penelope is Merlin, Colin is not quite the Once and Future King, but still a Prince of Camelot, and Penelope must figure out how to save Colin (again) from dark magic, all while keeping her own magic a secret.Bookmarked by Tmikage

Summary
“I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”
“It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.
Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.
“Just let someone take care of you for once.”
In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.

Summary
What if, after enduring more pain than she could ever imagine, Penelope finally gave in and told Colin how she felt?
--
“You don’t have to say anything. I get it.”
Penelope took three steps and felt a hand on her wrist. Colin grabbed her arm, pulling firmly, and spinning her around. His hand cradled her face as he bent down to kiss her, breathing her in as his lips covered hers.
That’s all it took for Penelope’s brain to short circuit. Colin was kissing her. It was soft and gentle, but sent sparks to all of her limbs. Her body turned into gelatin.
When they broke apart, she placed her hands on his chest, feeling the thud of his heartbeat underneath his shirt. His hand remained cradling her cheek.
“Why did you do that?” she asked quietly, her heart in her throat.
“I don’t know,” he breathed. He looked so young and scared suddenly. “I just felt like I should.”

Summary
Penelope’s tendency to hyperfixate on an idea and spiral until it meets its end is something he and Eloise would tease her about. It was a flaw that Colin loved about her, he loved her determination to see her ideas through to the end.
The issue now is that hyperfixation has lent itself to dissolving her marriage to him.

That smirk belongs to Penelope fucking Featherington.

Summary
Penelope Featherington, 32, is successful and living what most would call a good life. Yet her world still seems to orbit around her longtime neighbors—the Bridgertons—and her dearest friends, Eloise and Colin. After a revealing family dinner, Penelope begins to question the life she’s built. Has she spent too long defining herself by the people around her? Maybe it’s time to step out of their shadow and finally become her own person. This is a story of growth, self-discovery, redemption—and, of course, finding love along the way.
