Summary
Just one kiss.
The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.
It does not have to mean anything.
Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.
And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.
They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—
After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.

Summary
Penelope Featherington had several rules about weddings.
Rule one: never trust an aunt who says “I don’t want trouble.”
Rule two: always check the seating chart twice.
Rule three: if the father of the bride mentions fireworks… run.And rule four.
If you recognize the groom before opening the client dossier, decline the job.
—Pen —Kate whispered in the earpiece—. The bride is walking.
Perfect.
Penelope watched the garden.
One hundred twenty guests. Perfect peonies. Lights in the trees.
Everything was going according to plan.
Except for one detail.
The groom.
Penelope looked at the altar.
Colin Bridgerton stood beneath the arch. Dark suit. Dangerously charming.
And not looking at the bride.
Colin was looking at her.
—Pen —Kate repeated—. Why is the groom looking at you like he just remembered something important?
Excellent question.
The bride walked.
Guests sighed.
Music played.And Colin Bridgerton kept looking at Penelope Featherington as if nothing else existed.
Penelope closed her eyes.
Perfect.
This.
Was going to be a disaster.

Summary
An ancient marriage pact forces Colin Atherley, newly made Duke of Austinborough, to marry Penelope Featherington—the quiet girl he once knew as a child and has long since forgotten.
To Colin, the marriage is little more than an inconvenient obligation. Within a day he leaves for London and his medical studies, abandoning his new bride at Everthorne.
But five years is a long time.
When Colin finally returns home, he expects to find the same timid girl he left behind.
Instead he finds a woman who has rebuilt his estate, earned the loyalty of the village, and learned how to live perfectly well without him.
The more Colin learns about his wife, the more unsettling a realization becomes:
Perhaps he was never the only one wounded by their marriage. And perhaps the quiet girl he overlooked has been the most extraordinary woman in his life all along.
