    Summary

    Colin had been traveling the world ever since he dropped out of university after finding his girlfriend with another guy. He had left the heartbreak behind and lived a life most people could only dream of. Yet, he felt like he was missing something... He had been looking for his purpose for over a decade now but maybe it was closer to home than he had thought. Maybe it was finally time to settle down...

    Penelope had been in love with her best friend's brother from the second they had met. But it was hopeless... He would never see her that way. He had said so himself. Twice. At twenty-eight and with a major book deal under her belt, it was finally time to get over him and move on with her life...

    Luckily, there was a new dating app for writers to pen their own happy ever after. The Lord & Lady Whistledown app did not allow for profile pictures or any identifiable data beyond name and location, encouraging its users to form deeper connections without getting distracted by superficialities. Maybe this was exactly what Colin and Penelope were looking for. Will they finally find the piece that had been missing in their lives?

    Summary

    After cruel words and broken trust, Penelope decides she will not walk blindly into marriage simply because invitations were already sent and society expects it. When Colin suggests they can decide what their marriage will be after the wedding, she knows too well what a cold home can do to a family.
    She has erred too, but she will not repeat her mother’s mistakes by remaining silent or settling for less than she deserves. If she is to marry Colin, it must be with honesty, with conversation, and with the promise of something healthier than what she watched her parents endure. Together, they begin again — not with easy certainty, but with the fragile hope of a future built on choice.
    --- ---
    Or
    …the one where Penelope halts her engagement and gives herself time to think about the future she truly wants — where she makes choices, not out of fear or pressure, but the best ones for herself.

    Photographer Colin is delighted when he bumps into Penelope in Reykjavik - the first time he's seen her in ten years. And when she accepts his offer of a lift across Iceland, he's excited to rekindle their friendship along the road.

    He finds himself drawn to and captivated by the confident, self-sufficient woman she's become. In fact, he can't keep his lens off her.

    But he's puzzled by the emotional distance she seems determined to keep between them. Will she ever warm up to him? And will she tell him the real reason she ghosted him years ago?
