    Summary

    **Complete**

     

    Colin Bridgerton is a man with many responsibilities. As the second eldest in a bustling household filled with siblings, nephews, and a mother who never stops meddling, he's grown accustomed to putting everyone else first. Running the family garage and trying to keep the roof over their heads is hard enough—never mind that his eldest brother has been lost at sea, and another once-joyful brother has lost himself to the bottle, leaving Colin to shoulder the burden of keeping the family together.

    But when a charming redhead named Penelope unexpectedly arrives at their doorstep, needing a place to stay, Colin’s world is turned upside down. There's undeniable chemistry between them, a spark that lights up every room they’re in, and Colin finds himself undeniably in love.

    Until Penelope breaks his heart in the worst possible way.

    Will he ever be able to let her in his heart again?
