Summary
“C’mon, get excited! Can’t start our marriage off with a sour face like that,” he chided, shooting her his most roguish grin.
Penelope’s heart gave a little lurch.
The marriage was a sham, of course. She and Colin were partners in the FBI, and before that they had been friends growing up. In fact, it was his insistence that she’d make an excellent field agent that had spurred her to apply in the first place.
Well, that and the small fact she was utterly in love with him.
The moment he’d proposed they go undercover to investigate what had happened to the lovely couple who had disappeared overnight from the highly-coveted Arcadia Falls neighborhood, Penelope knew she was in trouble. And yet, having given the idea precisely four seconds of thought, she’d agreed.
***
OR: Colin is Mulder and Pen is Scully (obviously) and they’ve got a mystery to solve, gang!

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
Colin was pacing the front hall. He had never been so jittery in his life. All his anxiety, anticipation, and excitement compelled his feet back and forth across the hall.
Ever since Mama had told him that Penelope would be joining them for the holiday via the girls’ carriage, he had been even more fidgety than usual. He had not been able to be normal around her since he had been home from Eton, and that was six months ago. When Eloise had called after her in the park and she had turned, her hair swirling around her, her face pink and her mouth laughing, a feeling Colin could only describe as blazing hot calm had washed over him. She was so perfectly beautiful, so perfectly kind and charming, so perfectly clever and sparkling.
Perfect.
It wasn’t fair.
///
Colin's friendship with Penelope means everything to him, but when he falls for her before she has even debuted, he despairs. When she joins the Bridgertons at Aubrey Hall for Christmas, things spiral.
A little angst, a lot of feelings, and some happy holiday smut!
