    Summary

    With one final brush to his bruised cheekbone, Penelope leans in and presses a soft kiss against the injury there, too.
    Colin swallows hard, breathing her name out with a sort of reverence that makes her own breath catch in her throat.

    “Are you planning to kiss all of my bruises away?” He rasps.

    “Perhaps I am. But only if…”

    “If…?”

    “Only if you tell me where else it hurts,” she whispers back.

    Summary

    "I can't even remember who I am, Colin!" she snapped, before wincing at the pain that flashed through her head. "I can't remember what I'm doing here or how I hurt my head. I can't remember what day or month or even what year it is! I can't remember anything or anyone! So stop asking me!"

    She could feel tears filling her eyes and she closed them again.

    His voice was gentle, the next time he spoke. "I'm sorry, Pen, I just find it hard to believe you have forgotten so much".

    "Well, believe it!" she snapped.

    "So, you truly don't remember me, either?"

    "For the last time, no!"

    "It's just, I was sure you would remember me". He sounded a little hurt.

    She frowned. "Why? What makes you any more special than anyone else in my life?"

    He took her hand and stared at her for a minute before he finally spoke, his voice low, his eyes warm. "Because I am your husband, Penelope".

    Summary

    “Are you kidding?” Michael grinned, cradling Penelope’s chin in his palms. “Look at her! This face! These eyes! Those freckles! That hair!” He threw his arm around Penelope’s shoulders and squeezed. “She’s a perfect little elf!”

    Penelope blushed. “So you just thought of the shortest person you know”, she commented wryly.

    “I thought of the best person for the job”, Michael responded. “And that’s you”.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton se está volviendo loco.

    Después de un par de meses viviendo bajo el techo del Número Cinco, y debido a las constantes preocupaciones de su madre, ha tenido que poner en pausa sus constantes viajes.

    Buscando una distracción, Colin ha conseguido un trabajo temporal en la cafetería de su hermano y debido a esto, su vida se está convirtiendo en todo lo que Colin siempre ha temido: aburrida.

    Las ansias de tomar sus maletas y partir rumbo al rincón más lejano del planeta lo están matando, pero algo dentro de él lo mantiene en Londres, una cuenta pendiente que no puede explicar.

    Después de escuchar una conversación por accidente y de recibir una carta cuyo contenido es extraño, Colin está seguro que algo raro está pasando, que su familia le está ocultando algo y que la respuesta está más cerca de lo que parece.
