    Summary

    Colin lives in Paris. And when Penelope comes to his city on her book tour, it's the first time they've seen each other in two years.

    Penelope only has an hour or so before she has to take a train home, so they make the most of the time they have, wandering the city, catching up.

    But what starts as two friends reconnecting quickly feels like something more. Something familiar. Something irresistible.

    OR: a story of Polin in Paris, inspired by the Before Sunset movie.

    Summary

    The Featherington family inherit a house, and it brings Penelope within punching distance of Colin Bridgerton.

    He’s maddeningly cute, ridiculously nice (which is stupidly hot), and has some weird ideas about the rules of ‘yellow car’.

    There’s a spark, for sure. Is it friendship? Or is it more? There are a lot of teenage hormones in the mix so it’s hard to know, but it shouldn’t take them long to figure out, right? Right?!
