    Summary

    Penelope is twelve when she starts seeing colors differently. When she realizes that not only can Colin see the change, but he's the cause of her new ability, they tumble into an intimacy neither are prepared for. Growing up with the love of her life as a foregone conclusion is not the easiest path, especially since resisting him becomes increasingly difficult and no matter how much she seems to age, she's still too young.

    The more they fall in love, the more wrapped up in each other they become and Penelope starts to wonder how far it can all go.

    Summary

    "How do we do it?" he said, his voice rough as she continued to feel him through his pants. He was painfully hard now, so still that he might rip the seams, pop the buttons, burst through the wool.

    "Anything spoken is binding," she told him. "But I prefer to seal the deal with an exchange of bodily fluids."

    "Blood?"

    She giggled. "No. Something infinitely more enjoyable."

    Of course. She was a succubus.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington's soulmate hated her. She was alright with that. She hated him just as much. The only reason for their bond to exist was to bring each other pain.
    Colin Bridgerton's soulmate gave up on him years ago. He was not worthy of love and patience that their bond required. He learned to accept that and move on with his life.
    When two broken souls are brought together, Penelope and Colin find hope. Neither one of them can be with their soulmate, but maybe they can build something remarkable together. If they manage to let go of the pain, maybe they could even let themselves fall in love.
