    Summary

    After being betrayed and deceived by his fiancée, Colin Bridgerton vowed never to marry.

    What happens when, in order to secure the promotion to editor-in-chief, he needs to appear as someone ready to settle down? When the ring he once wore only to attract one-night stands is noticed by the shareholders, Colin finds himself claiming to be married.

    Now, he needs a fake wife, and the first name that comes to his mind is that of the woman he hasn’t seen in four years.

    — "Penelope," he smiles at the elderly men seated around the large conference table. "My wife's name is Penelope Bridgerton."

    Summary

    The night Penelope is asked the most important question of her life, she is wearing a hot pink feather boa. With sparkles, and a sparkly pink penis tiara to match. Naturally. 

    The question is not will you marry me, which should have been the most important question of her life (a fact of which she is perfectly aware, thank you very much). It is not do you, Penelope Featherington, take Alfred Debling to be your lawfully wedded husband, because she has a few days left before their officiant asks her that particular question.

    “I’m sorry,” Penelope says. “What did you say?” 

    She’d heard him, but she’s drunk in a hot pink feather boa and a penis crown and surely Colin Bridgerton cannot be asking her about regrets.

    Summary

    “Only got the one room left, I’m afraid,” says the older woman. “The storm, you see. It’s stranded a bunch of travelers just like yourselves.

    “The one room will suit us perfectly,” Colin says with as much confidence as he can muster. He steps closer to Penelope, smiling at her as he holds a hand out for her to take, imploring her to play along with his eyes. “Don’t you agree, darling?”

    For her part, Penelope looks a little stunned by the term of endearment, but she doesn’t miss a beat as she slips her hand into his.

    “Yes. I believe it will, husband,” she replies.

    — OR —
    Colin comes home from his travels early only to happen upon a stranded Penelope on his way to Aubrey Hall to reunite with his family for the holidays. Unfortunately, heavy snowfall forces the pair to stop for the night and seek shelter at an inn where *gasp* there was only one bed.
