Summary
Penelope could see the signs from miles away: the nervous shifting back and forth, the dart of his eyes looking at her and then away quickly, the harsh swallow that made his Adam’s apple bob in his throat.
“Colin Bridgerton,” she said, her voice barely above a shocked whisper. “Are you a virgin?”
The way his entire face reddened a few shades was all the confirmation she needed.

At Eloise’s college party, Penelope shows up in a tiny white top and no bra. Colin hasn’t seen her in a while, and now he can’t stop seeing her. Or the guys trying to hit on her. Or the way her nipples press against that thin fabric when she laughs. He’s trying to be a gentleman. He’s trying to be just her friend.
He’s failing.Bookmarked by afterthought27

Summary
“It is true. This mystery woman has irrevocably stolen my heart. I will love her and no one else.”
Kate cleared her throat. “Well then. Might you describe the lady for us?”
“She was quite small, shorter than Hyacinth even. And she had the most stunning hair I’ve ever seen, rich red curls that tumbled over her shoulder and seemed to dance in the wind. She had bright blue eyes, clearer than the waters of the Mediterranean and twice as sparkling. She was truly a Venus statue come alive, a vision wrapped in pretty pink satin, a most womanly figure which could have only been sculpted by the gods.”
"Brother, you jest."
...
Or, in an alternative universe where Penelope was not childhood friends with the Bridgertons, Colin unwittingly enters himself into the Featherington Heir Race.Bookmarked by afterthought27
