Summary
A night of passion followed by a morning of careless words causes Penelope to make a life-altering decision, landing her in Ireland with family.
Her sister Felicity is a newly presented debutante and has requested Penelope be present to help her through all hurdles, despite the fact Penelope has never (and will never) enter the marriage mart.
Marina Thompson is also staying with the Featheringtons and has her eye on the same boy who broke Penelope's heart, Colin Bridgerton. Felicity and Hyacinth stumble upon a scheme that would devastate Colin and the Bridgertons. Felicity and Hyacinth know the only way to save Colin (from himself and Marina) is the same girl he broke, a girl who never stopped loving him even when her world ended. Penelope.
-----
"Officially? She's here to support me through the season," Felicity eagerly told her friend. "Unofficially? She's here to ruin Marina's plans.""Or she could just ruin Marina. I'm not particularly picky at the mo'," Hyacinth grinned back.

Summary
Penelope had been certain — certain! — that Colin would one day return her affections.
When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.
After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.
One question lingers in the back of her mind — why on earth does Colin look so stricken to find her doing just that?

Summary
“Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”
Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.
He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”
Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.

the perfect suitor by Anothercrazychick

Summary
He was going to kill someone, and the probability was he was going to kill himself. But he didn’t know if he was going to die just from standing on the sidelines of the dance floor, watching his everything being all too smiley with another man. Yes, he was really dead, actually, because his soul had altogether abandoned his body the moment that poor excuse of a man—too blondish, too not Colin Bridgerton, really—had taken her hand to lead her to the dance floor.
He had the cheek to call upon her the next day and even ask to court her.
And for a really obvious reason, he now strongly believed in two things: he was going to ruin that, and how much he hate blondish, boring guys (Debling).
or
how Colin has been carrying on as if he were a proper suitor, dropping just enough hints to make all the other gentlemen believe that Penelope was well and truly spoken for. But a comment taken the wrong way and some lord who’s come out of the blue are about to throw a spanner in the works of everything Colin has subtly done to be with Penelope.Bookmarked by gscully

Summary
“Colin?” Benedict crossed his arms in front of his chest, hip cocked out as he looked down at their younger brother in amusement. “Who is Penelope?”
Their younger brother stiffened, cheeks flushing hot pink. He slid off of the armchair, crawling away with his book. When he reached the doorway of the media room, they heard his footsteps as he took off down the hall in a sprint.
“Well, that was weird,” Benedict declared, snatching the PlayStation controller and falling back on the couch with a bounce.
“No, that was insensitive,” Daphne huffed, setting her tea cup down. Eloise and Francesca followed suit, all three of them glaring at the eldest two from their play tea table. Hyacinth squealed, slamming her plastic cup down to mimic her sisters and put her hands on her hips like Daphne. “You were going to tease him so of course he ran away. Penelope is his girlfriend.”
“Girlfriend!?” Anthony and Benedict chorused, jaws dropping in shock.
