    Summary

    “I do not know how to swim.”

    The words come out in a rush, like a waterfall tumbling over rocks.

    “No one knows,” Penelope adds miserably. “Not even Eloise.”

    “I know, Pen,” Colin says, and his voice is as gentle as the lapping of water along the pond’s shore.

    “H-how? All those summers we spent together. Why did you never say anything before?”

    “Because you did not say anything, and I had no wish to embarrass or upset you. There is no shame, and it is never too late to learn.”

    OR

    Colin has been waiting for Penelope’s debut for years—finally, he will be able to court her properly. But when she flees the presentation hall, everything he hoped for shatters. One summer morning, a swimming lesson changes everything.

    After his unexpected arrival home, the two share a moment in front of his family and his meddlesome siblings take it upon themselves to convince their brother to make her a Bridgerton, once and for all.

    The Kiss Cam catches Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in its red, heart-shaped frame. She’s mortified—after all, she’s been hopelessly in love with him forever. Meanwhile, he’s convinced it’ll be no big deal.

    And then the internet explodes.
 And then he explodes—into panic, confusion, and feelings he definitely did not plan to have.

    She fell first.

    But after one (1) unexpected kiss and the media circus that follows, he’s falling harder than he ever intended.

    Summary

    Every December Colin sends his friend Penelope a fun advent calendar – something silly toys or tasty treats. It’s their thing. A little tradition which started years ago.

    Only this year when the calendar arrives Penelope’s heart stops. Her brain melts. Her whole world turned on its head.

    This calendar didn’t contain toys or treats. This calendar didn’t contain anything at all, except written suggestions.

    Sexy suggestions.

    Because apparently her friend Colin had decided to send her a sexy advent calendar for horny couples.

    “I can’t believe after all these years this is how he tells you he’s down to fuck.” Gen laughs like a maniac. “I’m not sure if he’s smooth or psychotic?”

    “Shut the fuck up, Gen! Shut the fuck up.”

    She needs to concentrate.
