    Summary

    Penelope is a 25-year-old book editor in London, enjoying a life where she shares a flat with her best friend, gets promoted quickly at work, and spends her time with her friends and pseudo-family, the Bridgertons. She has all the makings of a happy life.

    She spent years adjusting to the ache in her gut. She always expected to live with it, to grow around it, and to maybe find some semblance of happiness knowing she would never soothe the pain that consumed her. She tries to put herself out there, to move on, to accept reality. No matter how hard she tries to fall out of love with him, Colin always finds ways to worm his way back into her heart, putting her right back where she started.

    Will she be able to move on? Will she figure out how to live with the pain? Or will the last thing on earth she ever expected to happen finally become real? Could Colin Bridgerton ever love Penelope Featherington?

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton’s lame duck of a marriage had been over years before his wife walked out the door and into the bed of some unlucky bastard or other. Really, calling it quits was a decision they’d made for the best. Both he and Marina knew that; even their three-year-old twins knew that.

    There was just one last tiny little problem he was having trouble with now that he was, for all intents and purposes, single again.

    And, well, it was starting to send him round the bend.

    AKA another age gap forbidden fruit story.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington may have only just turned 32 years old, but she’s come to a very important decision in her life. She’s ready to become a mother. She’s got a career that she’s passionate about and is completely financially independent and secure. All that’s missing is the man, but she’s done waiting on love. It’s time for Penelope to take matters into her own hands and do what she’s always done in her life—make her own dreams come true.

    Colin Bridgerton, one of her best friends, is entering a bit of a hiatus from his jet-setting career as a travel photographer. He’ll be permanently in place in London for the foreseeable future while, at 35 years old, he tries to figure out what he wants to do with his life. While his intention in finally sitting still for a while had been to work out what his professional goals are going forward, Colin’s quickly becoming fixated on a very different kind of aspiration for himself.

    --

    Or, the one where Penelope and Colin decide to make a baby “as friends.”
