    Summary

    Shane’s immediate reaction is to say that he doesn't know when it started. He doesn’t know who his soulmate is. This is what he’s been telling himself for years, because if he stops for more than a second to think about how long he's been collecting little pieces of Ilya Rozanov, he thinks he'll spiral out of control.

    He'll hit the deck like a firecracker dropped unceremoniously onto the sidewalk, burning wildly and spiralling haphazardly, until he's fizzled out with nothing left to show for himself but smoke, ashes, and the knowledge that his soul is bound to Rozanov's.

    or:

    shane spends twenty-five years not thinking about his soulmate. the drawer in his apartment filled with cigarettes, toothpaste, and awful t-shirts says elsewise.

    Summary

    Penelope retreats to a quiet country cottage to finish her latest novel, never expecting her new landlord to be so distracting.

    Colin returns from two decades of wandering only to be handed an estate and told to put down roots.
    The “prickly old hag” he was warned about turns out to be a sharp-tongued, flame-haired woman who unsettles him in ways he didn’t plan for.

    Both of them discover that you're never too old to be surprised.

    Summary

    Colin thought he was doing a nice thing. He thought he was being a good friend. He thought Pen would be lonely on her impulsive trip to Ibiza after her dud of a fiancee broke up with her. He thought she'd appreciate his company and that he dropped everything he was doing in New York to spend the week with her and help her have a little fun. What he hadn't spent much time thinking about, however, were his best friend's honest motivations for this solo holiday…

    Or, Penelope goes to Ibiza to get laid after ending her engagement and Colin unknowingly accompanies her to fulfill that goal and much, much more.

    So imagine his horror when she started entertaining suitors.
    Ruined him, and now this? And honestly, is it not a woman’s duty to marry the man she ruined?
