    Summary

    Penelope retreats to a quiet country cottage to finish her latest novel, never expecting her new landlord to be so distracting.

    Colin returns from two decades of wandering only to be handed an estate and told to put down roots.
    The “prickly old hag” he was warned about turns out to be a sharp-tongued, flame-haired woman who unsettles him in ways he didn’t plan for.

    Both of them discover that you're never too old to be surprised.

    Summary

    She just glanced around the kitchen, taking things in, her expression blank, then leaned against the counter next to the kettle, picking at the chipped black nail polish on her fingers.

    “Alright?” Colin offered, around a bite from the corner of his toast.

    She met his gaze, making his stomach twist and the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Her eyes were icy blue, and they seared right through him. With the barest nod, she looked back down at her hands, as though Colin were no more noteworthy than the kettle beside her.

    “Colin — Penelope,” Eloise introduced, grabbing some water from the fridge. Penelope’s eyes flicked up from her fingers again, but to Eloise this time, that was the only indication he got that she heard.
