    When they both find themselves widowed, Colin and Penelope become reacquainted. Their friendship deepens when he confides a long-held secret. Their conversations become more intimate over time, until the lines between friendship and more become blurred for them both...

    Summary

    Three Bridgerton siblings accidentally reach for the gun- a very pretty, yellow-hating, red-haired gun who is none the wiser- but neither are they.

    Really, what were the odds that Frannie's prettiest mutual, the girl from Tinder Colin is trying to pretend he's fine with just being friends with, and the pretty yapper who somehow single-handedly managed to put an end to Eloise's lesbian fuckboy era would turn out to be the same person, anyway?

    Summary

    “So, what is this favor?” Penelope asked.

    “Colin is a moron,” Eloise replied, and Penelope’s heart skipped a beat. “That wanker decided on a whim to go to Paris. His train has just arrived. But he can’t find a hotel. Everywhere is booked.”

    Penelope’s stomach dropped, dread creeping up her spine.

    “The Olympics,” she muttered.

    “Yeah, as I said, moron. So, any chance he could crash at your place for a night or two?”

    -

    Once upon a time, Penelope had left to go study in Paris right after high school, leaving her toxic family behind. And she had never looked back. But that meant she never got the chance to talk to her teenaged crush, one Colin Bridgerton. At best, all they ever were was distant acquaintances. That was okay, though, because she had moved on, she had become at successful author. So, him crashing at her place for one night, or two, wouldn’t disrupt her whole life, right?

    Summary

    When her best friend spends a semester studying abroad, secret romance author Penelope Featherington is left with no one to sit with at lunch, no one to hang out with on the weekends, no one to binge-watch movies with, and no one to share spontaneous adventures with. When Colin Bridgerton, her childhood friend, longtime crush, best friend's brother, and muse for her most popular romance series sees Penelope eating lunch with her Yearbook teacher Mrs. Danbury, he makes her an offer. He promises her companionship and assistance, he promises her friendship while also helping her find friends of her own. While apprehensive at first Penelope finds herself enjoying her time with him probably a little more than she should. As Colin brings Penelope along to social gatherings he helps Penelope discover a brave, social, and charming side that was unknown to her before his assistance. While Colin continues to spend more time with her, he learns aspects of her and her life that he did not know before, both the good and bad. As he begins to uncover the real Penelope, he starts to realize he is falling in love with her. In other words, Colin Bridgerton makes a rebel out of a careless man's careful daughter ;) .

    Summary

    Penelope had grown accustomed to the chaos of Bridgerton family dinners by now. After the time Gregory accidentally set the table on fire in his excitement over Kate going into labor, she thought she had become truly prepared for anything.

    She had been wrong. So very, very wrong.

    The most pressing issue was the fact that she shouldn’t be at this particular dinner. At least not this version of her. She could see her 17-year-old self gaping in her direction, just as stunned as the rest of the invited guests, which included her mother, her deceased father, her sisters… Marina. After all, this was the night that the Featheringtons and the Bridgertons had come together to celebrate Colin’s rather-sudden first engagement.

    She remembered the evening well. In excruciating detail, in fact. How handsome Colin looked. How doting he’d been to his fiancé. How silently Pen had been screaming the entire night, just hoping someone would hear her. She distinctly did not remember some future version of herself barging in during the main course, with a sleeping two-year-old in her arms.

    /////

    Happily married Pen time travels to S1.

    Summary

    When she opened the door he noticed she was in her pajamas, and her mouth was slightly tainted with ice cream.
    “I told Eloise I want to be left alone, I don’t need anyone consoling me.”
    “Console you? No I’m here to be miserable with you.”
    Penelope’s face softened.
    “Did Marina dump you again?”
    “Yes.” He replied trying to hold his tears.

    Colin and Penelope are dump at the same time and turns out to the best thing that could happen to them.
