    Summary

    Heartbroken over her boyfriend's betrayal, Penelope decides to get over him by getting under someone new. And she does get under a handsome stranger for one passionate night. But in the morning he's nowhere to be found. Doesn't matter. He was a rebound anyway, right?

    Colin Bridgerton has life altering sex with a redhead goddess, only to realise the next morning what an utter bitch she is. Doesn't matter, anyway. How likely it is to come across the same bitch when you live in a city full of 9.5 million people?

    Very likely--when said bitch turns out to be your new boss.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is 33 years old and very sure of himself. At least, that is what any of his seven siblings would tell you. He's the lovable teddy bear with an ease about him that makes everyone feel comfortable in his presence. Never taking himself, or any situation all that seriously. And then he meets Penelope Featherington in a busy London pub and everything he thought he knew about himself changes.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is a successful English teacher, Deputy Headteacher and single mum to an energetic 5 year old, Elliott. They venture to London for a few days of exploring and new experiences during the summer holidays.

    What Penelope doesn’t expect however, is for her carefully managed and curated world to collide with the chaotic Bridgerton family due to chance meeting between Elliott and some of the next generation of Bridgertons.

    Penelope has spent years building a coat of armour to protect herself, and by extension Elliott, from everything negative that the world could throw their way. She is determined to give Elliott a totally different upbringing from her own.

    Surely her armour can stay intact for a few days in London… surely?

    Summary

    'It’s been nearly a year since the first time they did this.

    That time was rushed and frantic. Like there was a risk of someone putting a stop to it and hauling them apart. Like they would die if they didn’t have each other right then and there.

    This time is the same, but different. No one is going to stop this. Certainly not her. But it is still frantic and needy. '

    ----

    Colin and Penelope have been friends for years.

    They have been friends with benefits for a year.

    With life and jobs and Bridgertons getting in the way, they can’t seem to get on the same page.

    As time passes with missed opportunities, Colin and Penelope need to find a way to get it right.

    Summary

    At 34 years old, Colin decides to adopt. What he didn't expect was that, upon crossing the doors of the children's home, he would find two people who would change his life: Agatha, a beautiful baby whom no one seems to choose, and Penelope, a pretty volunteer librarian at the home with whom talking becomes far too easy.

    As the bond grows, Colin must make a decision that will change everything: to choose with his heart, even when time is not on his side.

    Summary

    Rather than her ridiculously large number of siblings (seven!) or her (sometimes) overbearing (but well-meaning) mother, the first and only warning Daphne gave Simon prior to meeting her entire family at his first Bridgerton Brunch was about Colin and Penelope.

    “It may look like it, but they are not in a relationship, and you absolutely cannot ask about it,” Daphne had commanded.

    But if that’s true, then why does Simon keep walking in on Colin and Penelope making out?

    Summary

    Phillip Crane is twelve. Eloise Bridgerton is ten. The pond is technically on Aubrey Hall land, though he has never quite conceded this.

    They meet every summer. They write letters when they can't. He makes her a bookmark out of pressed clover so she'll stop bending the pages. She embroiders him a lopsided daisy and calls it character.

    It is a very long time before either of them calls it anything else.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is the smug head of Bridgerton Publishing. Penelope Featherington is the bestselling author who once called him “an overpriced bookmark in a suit.” Their public feud is legendary—fueled by sharp tweets, literary panels turned battlegrounds, and one very compromising limo incident outside the Publisher’s Book Awards.

    What starts as professional rivalry turns into something a lot messier (and a lot more romantic), unfolding across live tweets, poetry books, post-it notes, and accidental proposals.

    Enemies to lovers?
    No.
    Enemies to viral scandal to emotional chaos to “my wife, my nemesis.”
    And the internet never stood a chance.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington, a Journalism senior, lands her dream internship at a prestigious publishing house in New York City—only to discover her boss is none other than Colin Bridgerton, her infuriating childhood neighbor, her best friend’s brother, and her older brother’s best mate. Talk about complicated. She’s never been fond of him, and he hasn’t exactly gone out of his way to be friendly either.

    But here’s the thing about love and hate: they aren’t opposites. Sometimes, the deeper the hatred, the stronger the love that might have been there once—or could still be. Hate, often born from pain, carves a deep emotional scar. But when it fades, it leaves room for something greater. Forgiveness and understanding can turn that bitterness into something unexpected, even overwhelming.

    As Penelope and Colin work side by side, late nights and tight deadlines bring their old tensions—and something more—to the surface. Can they manage their shared history and professional friction? Or will their undeniable chemistry turn this enemies-to-lovers story into an unexpected romance?

    Summary

    He was three, looking out the window in the back of the car after his first haircut when he first told them he wanted to go back. He remembers the raindrops that day, following them down the glass. They were going so fast.

    “What was that?” his dad laughed, looking to his wife.

    His mum turned in her seat, reaching out a hand to Colin’s cheek. There was a moment, then, just one. One where she knew that whatever she thought his statement was did not match his expression.

    Violet Bridgerton knows her children, and she knew something was wrong.

    But he was three. He was three fucking years old and so she took a breath and shook it away, told him they’d go back to the barber when his hair grew again.

    At the time, it was just flashes.

    Hazed flashes, all the time.

    He wanted water again, he wanted waves. He wanted the coast and the breeze and her smile.

    And this life was nice, but it wasn't that one, and though he was too young to understand, he understood at least that.

    That the two lives were separate, even though he was not.

    Summary

    Penelope is a Bridgerton, no matter the genes or legal family ties. She always was and always will be. And every Bridgerton is too used to the idea that sometimes they forget Penelope is not a Bridgerton, but she has the very potential of being one.

    But only a non-Bridgerton has the vision to see that, as the family is a bit too obvious to their own benefit.
