Summary
Colin Bridgerton has always seen Penelope Featherington as just a friend—someone he enjoys spending time with, but never fully realizing how special she is to him. Penelope, on the other hand, has always loved Colin, though she’s long since resigned herself to the belief that they would always remain just friends. But when Penelope makes her debut in society, things start to shift. With a few unexpected twists, what began as friendship slowly grows into something deeper, something neither of them fully understands. In this alternate universe of Bridgerton, where Penelope isn’t Lady Whistledown, their bond is tested by the complexities of love, identity, and family as they navigate the pressures of society and their own blossoming feelings for each other. Will they stay friends, or will their relationship evolve into something more? And can they handle the challenges that come with it?

Summary
Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.
"I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."
Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.
"Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"
Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"
"I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"
"Yes."

Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.

Summary
Penelope knows how many times she has shared tea with Colin. She knows the number of times they have danced, knows how many times he touched her before they were engaged, how many letters they have written, how many crystal goblets they received as wedding gifts.
She did not know he knew how many sugars she takes in her tea.
That is something for which she did not account.

Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.

Summary
To Colin, the narrative is clear. The sweet sidekick best friend is going to end up with the main character, everyone will cheer, they'll all worship at the altar of a series well done and then beg their mum to let them start series five instead of going to bed. She'll almost immediately cave, allowing quick toilet breaks and re-fluffing of pillows (maybe even an exchange of blankets) before they all settle back into the cosy pile that is their Friday nights.
But here is the problem, and it's a problem that they have never had before when watching a film or show together: Penelope Featherington disagrees with him.
Disagrees. With him.
She seems irked every time he brings up the couple's very clear soulmatism, which is getting on Colin's nerves because he's right, and no matter what show they're watching, Penelope has always agreed before.
So what's different this time?

Summary
She was the one who finally broke the silence, “Will you go back to New York after the cruise?”
Colin met her eyes. “No, I’m coming back here.”
“Until the wedding?”
“For as long as it takes.”
She cleared her throat. “For as long as what takes?”
“For as long as it takes to convince you to give us another chance,” Colin spoke slowly, clearly, watching her closely for a reaction, “or to convince myself that you really don’t love me anymore.”
