    Summary

    Eloise may be keeping a secret pregnancy, but Penelope has secrets of her own as well. Will they be able to keep their secrets from each other, and the rest of the Bridgertons, when Colin moves home from NYC for the first time since he was 18?
    ...
    “Did you see Colin in New York?!” Hyacinth asked excitedly. At 14 years old, she hardly remembered a time where Colin had lived close by. She never had a chance to see him more than a few days a year. Naturally, she was curious about him and eager for any information about him.
    “Duh, we stayed with him,” Eloise whined in response, slipping onto the stool in front of her and into her natural persona of annoyed older sister.
    Hyacinth spun around to rummage for more serving dishes. “We basically didn’t see him for the first few days because he was working a lot but then he came out dancing with us on the weekend and then he wouldn’t leave us alone for the rest of the trip,” Eloise laughed. “We even tried to—”
    “What are these?” Hyacinth asked as she slowly turned back with a large pink vitamin bottle in her hand. In her quest for more serving platters, she had accidentally stumbled upon the vitamin cabinet. Upon Eloise’s prenatal vitamins.

    Summary

    Penelope has spent half of her life alone in love with Colin Bridgerton. In an unexpected development, she finds herself falling into a friends with benefits relationship with his brother, Benedict.

    When the entire Bridgerton family gathers at Aubrey Hall for Christmas, Penelope included, she finds herself caught up in trying to keep her encounters with Benedict hidden from the family, preventing her feelings for Colin from spilling over, and making it through the holiday with some semblance of dignity.

    --

    The guest room in Aubrey Hall was familiar to Penelope at this point. When she was younger, she’d share with Eloise every time they visited. She was always her plus one. After they graduated secondary school, Violet made a big deal about her having her own room for their annual summer visits and any other holidays Penelope joined for.

    Moving around the room unpacking her items with a familiar cadence, she paused when she reached her toiletry bag. The box of condoms she’d hastily stashed in there stared back at her. Why had she packed them? This was absurd. She swore to herself she wouldn’t need them. That it was a family holiday and she was going to behave herself, not rouse suspicion.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is a successful English teacher, Deputy Headteacher and single mum to an energetic 5 year old, Elliott. They venture to London for a few days of exploring and new experiences during the summer holidays.

    What Penelope doesn’t expect however, is for her carefully managed and curated world to collide with the chaotic Bridgerton family due to chance meeting between Elliott and some of the next generation of Bridgertons.

    Penelope has spent years building a coat of armour to protect herself, and by extension Elliott, from everything negative that the world could throw their way. She is determined to give Elliott a totally different upbringing from her own.

    Surely her armour can stay intact for a few days in London… surely?

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is 25 years old. She has just finished her studies - and her third manuscript of a romance novel. Her brother-in-law Albion Finch was supposed to hand it over to Agatha Danbury, but it inadvertently ended up among the files of Anthony Bridgerton, who not only instantly offered her a publishing contract for several volumes, but also hired her as the new editor at his publishing house, Bridgerton Press. Apart from Anthony, only Agatha Danbury knows that she is the author of Lady Whistledown's new books, the first volume of which will be published in a few weeks' time.
    On her first day, Penelope not only gets to meet the Bridgerton siblings, but also her best friend Edwina Sharma and her sister Kate Sharma, who guides her through the company.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton was a rising British tennis star, who disappointed in his professional debut and struggled to find his footing amongst the ATP Tour for years.

    His dreams of winning Wimbledon seemed further and further away when a knee injury sidelined him during his eighth season. The only bright side was re-connecting with his sister's best friend he hadn't seen in years, who reminded him to focus on what inspired him to play from the beginning.

    Penelope tried to keep her distance from Colin, remaining as guarded as possible, but relented when circumstances kept bringing them together, preparing herself for the inevitable heartbreak that would consume her when he re-joined the tour and moved on with his life.

    ---

    “What if I can’t?” Colin asked, voicing his actual biggest fear out loud. The dark cloud looming overhead. “What if I try and give it everything I’ve got and I can’t get it back?” Shame trickled throughout his body.

    Penelope paused again, not rushing her response. She spoke quietly, cradling his insecurities with her soft spoken understanding. “Then at least you’ll know for sure. And you won’t look back with regrets.”
