Summary
When Penelope wakes, blearily, she shifts to her opposite side in the uncomfortable hospital bed.
She sees him there, in the same place he has been for the last several days, from the moment she first awoke.
The man they say is her husband.
She knows this man; she has known him nearly her whole life.
But she does not know Colin Bridgerton as her husband.
An accident steals five years of Penelope's memory, leaving her baffled and confused as she tries to adjust to the life that is, apparently, hers—a life she had once dreamed of, no less. Colin is Colin, taking care of her every need, but maintaining a careful distance that has her wondering how he fell in love with her in the first place. But as they navigate the strange new world they find themselves in, and as bits and pieces of Penelope's memory return, she learns how it feels to be truly and wholly loved by Colin Bridgerton.
And how it feels to be betrayed by him.

Summary
She was the one who finally broke the silence, “Will you go back to New York after the cruise?”
Colin met her eyes. “No, I’m coming back here.”
“Until the wedding?”
“For as long as it takes.”
She cleared her throat. “For as long as what takes?”
“For as long as it takes to convince you to give us another chance,” Colin spoke slowly, clearly, watching her closely for a reaction, “or to convince myself that you really don’t love me anymore.”

Summary
It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.
It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.
“Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.
Colin throws back the last of his drink.
And Penelope moved on from him.
-
After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.
The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.

Summary
“It’s not really a date,” Eloise corrects impatiently, chucking a piece of crisp at him in annoyance. She snaps her fingers as she attempts to find the right word. “More of like, like a -”
“A date,” Colin deadpans, swiping the last biscuit from the tin. He points it at her before taking a thoughtful chew. “Call it what you want, El. Twist it whichever way, it’s still a date.”
Or the one where Penelope is very hesitant about dipping her toes back into the dating pool and Eloise comes up with the (not so) perfect solution to ease her nerves - Penelope should go out on practice dates!
Enter: Eloise’s brother, and their current house guest, Colin.
Exit: Penelope’s sanity.
