Summary
“...we invest the said Mr. Colin Bridgerton, and the lawful heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, to the dignity, title, style, and honor of Marquess of Hartleigh…”
His throat had gone dry. The words on the page did not make sense to him.
“Um,” he tried, chuckling hoarsely. “Your Majesty, what is - I don’t…”
“Yes?”
Eloquence escaped him. “…what is this?”
The Queen looked mildly annoyed. “Why, I should think it is obvious. You, Mr. Bridgerton, are to be the next Marquess of Hartleigh.”—
One accidental act of heroism, and Colin Bridgerton finds himself elevated to the British peerage. Yet the Queen’s reward comes with a price: as the newly minted Lord Hartleigh, he’s been given an ultimatum - produce an heir within the next eighteen months. And, of course, to do so, he requires a wife. Urgently.
So why can’t he just pick a debutante and be done with it? And why is he far more interested in spending time in the very enjoyable company of his very good friend, Penelope Featherington?

Summary
“I’m sorry,” he tested, pleased when she seemed to deflate a little in relief. “I don’t mean to upset you, Pen. It’s just—well, I feel very…it makes me a little crazy to see you with anybody else.”
To Colin’s astonishment, fear didn’t come flooding back into her eyes at his admission. In fact, her eyes seemed to go a touch hazy, the last of her frown melting away as she looked all over his face, her gaze lingering for a few seconds on his mouth.
“I’ve never made a guy crazy before,” she murmured, still staring at his mouth.
Colin’s belly began fluttering and clenching, a nervous energy suddenly ricocheting all over his insides—she liked the fact she made him crazy. She liked that he was a little surly and snarly and mean. What’s more—she liked that she was the cause of it.
“You make me crazy, Pen,” he whispered, dragging his eyes to her mouth. “Don’t make me hurt anybody else when all I want is you.”

Summary
Penelope Featherington is six and ten and on the precipice of making her debut into society when she goes to spend a month at Aubrey Hall. She is so excited to visit with her favorite family, which includes her dearest friend Eloise, the always kind and motherly Lady Violet, and of course the handsome, cheerful, and dreamy Colin. She is prepared to spend several weeks enjoying how uncomplicated and carefree the Bridgertons have always seemed to her before she embarks on the likely stressful journey of entering the marriage mart. What she is not prepared for, however, is one Bridgerton family member having a certain nighttime habit that makes everything distinctly complicated and even somewhat stressful for her at Aubrey Hall instead.

Or, the one where Colin is a sleepwalker and his sleepwalking plays a very important role in Polin finding their happily ever after.

Summary
This was so, so stupid.
And yet she couldn't find a way to say no.
"I don't want to settle down, and you don't want to settle," he said excitedly. "It's the perfect plan, Pen."
•┈••✦ ❤ ✦••┈•
Pen is taking heat suppressants, but her body can't handle them forever, and she needs to find someone to mate with (who isn't Colin Bridgerton, because at this point, after so many years, it's impossible that they're fated).
Colin isn't ready to stop travelling, but his mother is running out of unmarried children. He comes up with a proposition: he and Pen pretend to date, starting with Benedict's wedding, so she can safely talk to alphas to find 'the one,' and he can have a few months of peace while he's stuck in London.
Everything will go as they expect...right?

Summary
The room seemed to tilt sideways, so much so that Colin felt the need to grip the doorframe until he thought the wood might splinter beneath his fingers. Anthony being left at the altar. That dreadful Whistledown article about Eloise. The Featherington Ball. All of those things had happened.
They had happened months ago.
He had danced through that night drunk on victory, had attended Anthony’s much more successful wedding to Kate in August, had gone on to his second tour. He had returned to London just days ago for the new season. He had attended the Danbury Ball. He had spoken to Penelope on the terrace. He had gone to Mondrich’s and gotten drunk and punched Fife in the face and given his father’s sleeve buttons to a beggar and—
—and died.
Or: Colin Bridgerton being an idiot...repeatedly

Summary
"Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"
Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.
On the day she finds out she is to be married, Penelope falls in love
