    Summary

    Penelope could see the signs from miles away: the nervous shifting back and forth, the dart of his eyes looking at her and then away quickly, the harsh swallow that made his Adam’s apple bob in his throat.

    “Colin Bridgerton,” she said, her voice barely above a shocked whisper. “Are you a virgin?”

    The way his entire face reddened a few shades was all the confirmation she needed.

    That old familiar body ache,
    The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul,
    You know when it's time to go.

    Summary

    When Colin invites Penelope last-minute to see Les Miserables in the West End, she's thrilled at the notion that he may finally be asking her out...until he tells her that the ticket was originally meant for his girlfriend Marina, who bailed at the last second. At the show, when Penelope sees a hurtful text on Colin's phone that she certainly was not supposed to see, can their friendship be salvaged? And maybe even blossom into something more?

    Summary

    In her fourth year teaching kindergarten, Miss Penelope Featherington thinks she’s seen it all—identical twins who wore matching outfits every day and were impossible to tell apart, a little boy who only talked about himself in the third person, a girl who managed to find a pair of scissors in the cafeteria and cut essentially all her hair off… This year, though, Chloe Bridgerton catches her by surprise. She’s never met a child who so immediately captured her heart. Chloe’s not the only Bridgerton pulling on her heartstrings either. Her “easy on the eyes,” charming father Colin captures her attention in an entirely different way. She’s never had a hard time remaining professional with her students’ parents in the past, but this man might just test every rule and guideline she tries to live her life by—both within the walls of her classroom and outside it too. To make matters more complicated, sweet little Chloe seems determined to become a successful matchmaker on her very first try.

    --

    Or, the one where Pen is a kindergarten teacher, Colin is a single Dad, and they fall in love in part thanks to the meddling of a very special little girl.
