Summary
Merlin had thought he"d escaped small-town life for good once he"d finally left for the big city. Of course, he hadn"t thought that he might feel just as stuck there as he had at home.
When he inherits his great-uncle"s bookstore, he realises that turning it into the kind of community space he"d always dreamed of might just be the thing he needs to get his own writing -- his whole life, really -- back on track.
Even if he has to move home, and put up with a posh, irritating city lawyer named Arthur Pendragon, to do it.

Summary
Penelope Featherington, a Journalism senior, lands her dream internship at a prestigious publishing house in New York City—only to discover her boss is none other than Colin Bridgerton, her infuriating childhood neighbor, her best friend’s brother, and her older brother’s best mate. Talk about complicated. She’s never been fond of him, and he hasn’t exactly gone out of his way to be friendly either.
But here’s the thing about love and hate: they aren’t opposites. Sometimes, the deeper the hatred, the stronger the love that might have been there once—or could still be. Hate, often born from pain, carves a deep emotional scar. But when it fades, it leaves room for something greater. Forgiveness and understanding can turn that bitterness into something unexpected, even overwhelming.
As Penelope and Colin work side by side, late nights and tight deadlines bring their old tensions—and something more—to the surface. Can they manage their shared history and professional friction? Or will their undeniable chemistry turn this enemies-to-lovers story into an unexpected romance?

Summary
“Are you quite serious?”
Colin rolled his eyes and held back an irritated sigh. If he had two quid for every time he’d heard this particular query from his eldest brother, he’d likely be rich enough to do without his trust completely (maybe). “I don’t see what the big fuss is, Ant. This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”
Anthony scoffed. “For you to put down some roots, yes. I didn’t realize going on a reality show would be part of that.”—
ORColin goes on a House Hunters-esque show and brings Penelope along to help him choose his new home. Assumptions are made, tension rises, minor chaos ensues, and the end result is quite different than Colin originally planned.

Summary
When her friend Genevieve suggested she... explore other options to finally end her sexual drought, Penelope only laughed at the idea. Later that night, however, she could not help but check out the cam site her friend had recommended.
Deciding she did not really have much to lose, she finally made an account and started scrolling through the page. What she saw was truly eye-opening, if not somewhat scarring.
She had almost given up for the day when she found him...
He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life and just the sight of him had her dripping wet. As soon as she entered a private chat and heard his voice for the very first time, Penelope knew she was done for.

Summary
“There,” he says, and it is maddening having her behind him, unable to see his face. His voice reveals so little. “You must try to wiggle out of the dress and the petticoat whilst I remove your stays.”
“My - my stays?” she squeaks. “Surely there is no need - ”
He lays a hand upon her shoulder, and it is so hot through the gauzy cotton of her chemise. She wonders if he is not feverish too. “They are soaked through, and it is not good to have the dampness so close to your lungs. Better to have them off.”
She supposes she should argue, but she knows that it matters not if she is in her stays or her chemise or completely bare, at this point. If anyone ever found out about this, her reputation would be ruined either way.
After begging Colin for a kiss, Penelope finds herself trapped with him during a snowstorm on the way to Aubrey Hall. THERE"S ONLY ONE BED PEOPLE

Summary
Eight weeks it had been eight weeks since that dreadful ball
Eight weeks since she lost her best friend
Eight weeks since Colin Bridgerton let the world known, he does not want her, that he could never want her, wouldn"t even dream of it not in his wildest fantasies.
Eight weeks since he broke her heart.
Which would have been devastating on its own had she not given herself, ruined herself only but a week earlier.
Nine weeks since Colin Bridgerton had taken her virtue, had asked her to marry him. It had been the happiest moment in her life. She truly thought that she had finally found her happiness, only to have it destroyed the very next day when she found out that he had no memories of what had transpired between them. She should have known that the only reason that Colin Bridgerton could ever want her would be under the influence of some kind of special tea and a copious amount of alcohol.Series

“I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”
“It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.
Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.
“Just let someone take care of you for once.”
In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton objectively has a very cool job and a very cool life. He jets around the globe as a travel photographer, visiting the most beautiful and historic locales and literally get paid to do it. And yet, he couldn’t be more bored these days. That’s how he finds himself crashing in his sister’s spare room in an attempt to figure out what the hell he wants to do next. While he attempts to renew his enthusiasm for the career that once brought him so much joy or decide on making a change of some kind, he’s looking forward to a relaxing few weeks (maybe a few months even) spending time with his family and his best friend Penelope Featherington. Colin is anything but relaxed, however, when he finds out that shy, sweet, soft-spoken Pen has been hiding a career change of her own from him—a very lucrative and very surprising career at that.

"Saving people, hunting things - the family business." (or: the one in which the Bridgertons are hunters)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, your family hunts...these things?" Penelope clarified while she paced back and forth in the Bridgerton guest quarters, trying to wrap her head around the fact that the bloody Bridgertons - a family she loved and adored, the family of her best friend and the man she loved, for God"s sake! A family Penelope followed and watched and knew - had somehow managed to keep such a miraculous, monumental, horrible secret from her for all these years.
And she had never suspected a thing.
How?
Eloise gave a sort of shrug, "Well, yes."
"And Colin - "
"Is on a hunting trip, yes," Benedict reiterated, "He should be back within a matter of days, if all went well."
"And if it didn"t?"
The siblings glanced at each other, sharing a dark, worrisome look. Benedict swallowed.
"Oh," Penelope breathed, and that was just...
Well, that was just too awful to consider.

Summary
“I, uh, guess I’ve put on a bit of weight?” He doesn’t know why it comes out as a question. He chews his cheek. “I suppose I hadn’t quite realised how much.”
His eyes dart away, not wanting to see the pity on her face. He knows he doesn’t have to say anything else and she will understand. She always does.
But she turns to face the mirror, her back pressed against him. “Colin,” she says softly, and he is forced to look back into the reflection.
“You have no idea, do you?” Her eyes regard his in the mirror, her lashes fluttering as she blinks at him. “How gorgeous you are. How much I want you.”
