Summary
“I know that a man is supposed to - to insert himself,” she murmurs, hardly believing she has the audacity. “And sow his seed within his wife.” She bites her lip. “But I do not know what that truly means .”
Colin faces straight ahead, his lips rolled between his teeth as if he is fighting a smile.
Penelope feels frustration fizz through her. “Do not laugh at me, Colin Bridgerton,” she hisses under her breath. “It is not my fault such things are kept from young ladies.” Her eyes narrow at him. “I am sure you know all about it.”
“Are you insinuating I am a rake, Penelope?”
OR
Penelope wants to know more about sex. Colin says he'll help her (despite being, you know, a virgin). Chaos ensues

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
“I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”
“It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.
Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.
“Just let someone take care of you for once.”
In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.
