Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.

Summary
Penelope needs a date to her ex boyfriend, Alfie Debling's wedding. She thinks asking Colin to pretend to be her date for the evening could be the best, or more likely, the worst, idea she's ever had.
Colin just wonders how on earth he's going to get through the evening when pretending is the last thing he wants to be doing when it comes to Penelope.
From the prompt - "My ex just invited me to their wedding and I need you to be my date so it doesn’t look like I’ve spent the last few years failing to get over them."

Summary
"And then he looked at the baby. Her small face turned to see Colin, little mouth lit in a smile. She had a head of thick brown hair, chestnut and wavy. Her eyes were wide and round and blue, and for a moment Colin thought he was staring in the looking glass. His mouth dropped. Air disappeared. The blood in his ears roared. All he saw was the child with his likeness, and she was quickly fading from his vision. Desperately, he searched for the faces of the other two in the room, both of them suddenly concerned. Vaguely, he heard one of them say his name, but it sounded far away, like an echo."
~

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is a rather popular travel influencer on Instagram and contributor to GQ magazine. He goes home for the holidays to visit his family after a particularly long stretch abroad. Somehow, he ends up going on an all-expenses paid trip to a little slice of heaven in the Caribbean with his best friend, Penelope Featherington. He’s not used to traveling with another person, but he finds himself rather looking forward to the time away with her even if he’s not sure what to expect. He expects it will all go according to plan. What could possibly go wrong when embarking on a trip with your best friend after all?
Penelope works in a junior position at a publishing house in London, scraping her way financially through young adulthood. She’s also doing her best to get over her decade plus long infatuation with her best friend Eloise Bridgerton’s older brother Colin. Somehow, she finds herself agreeing to accompany him on a trip to Turks and Caicos after the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t know how she’ll manage it, but Penelope is determined to ensure this trip goes smoothly and that she doesn’t let her heart get ahead of her brain. She and Colin will never be together romantically. Not in a million years.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is expecting to have a relaxing holiday at Aubrey Hall with his family. There's just one variable he's not anticipating: he keeps stumbling upon Penelope Featherington in various states of undress.
Penelope doesn't know why fate is conspiring against her to have Colin see her naked, but she has bigger things to worry about. Namely, how she is going to hide her feelings from Colin when they're becoming closer friends every day.
After years of knowing each other, maybe they can finally strip down and see each other bare.
