    Summary

    “But when am I getting married? And who am I getting married to?” 

     

    “More like who would want to marry you?” Prudence mumbles as Philippa snickers along unkindly. 

     

    Penelope frowns, for a moment she wonders if her mum will tell Prudence to stop, that being mean also isn’t ladylike, but she doesn’t do that, she just ignores it. “Well, you’re a little too young to be getting married right now, that will have to wait until you’re a bit older, but as for who you’re going to marry… I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.”

     

    Two days after the wedding, Penelope knocks a boy off his bike by accident with her yellow hat. He laughs with her about it instead of yelling at like she’d assumed he would, and the moment she hears his laugh she knows that she’s met the love of her life, and the minute she opens the door she tells her mum that she knows exactly who she’s going to marry one day.

     

    She’s going to marry Colin Bridgerton, the flowers said so.

    OR

    At nearly every single wedding she goes to, Penelope catches the bouquet. These are the various times it happens, and a couple of times when it doesn't.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is packing up her life and moving to Dublin — new country, new city, new people, a Creative Writing MA at Trinity, and a real shot at finishing her novel. Fresh start, clean slate, no complications. She had a spreadsheet. It had tabs. She had thought of everything.

    She had not thought of Colin. She had definitely not thought about living with him.

    Summary

    After being betrayed and deceived by his fiancée, Colin Bridgerton vowed never to marry.

    What happens when, in order to secure the promotion to editor-in-chief, he needs to appear as someone ready to settle down? When the ring he once wore only to attract one-night stands is noticed by the shareholders, Colin finds himself claiming to be married.

    Now, he needs a fake wife, and the first name that comes to his mind is that of the woman he hasn’t seen in four years.

    — "Penelope," he smiles at the elderly men seated around the large conference table. "My wife's name is Penelope Bridgerton."

    Summary

    When Penelope Featherington’s debut manuscript is threatened by a malicious claim of stolen authorship, she needs to get to New York before the publisher walks away from the book she has spent years building.

    The problem: a brutal weather system has grounded most flights out of London.

    The worse problem: the only person who can get her there is Colin Bridgerton, her former best friend, long-haul pilot, and the man she has spent the last year trying very hard not to love after overhearing exactly what he thought of her before he left for Athens.

    Forced into close quarters above the Atlantic and then into one rain-soaked New York hotel room, Penelope and Colin are finally left with nowhere to hide from the wreckage of their friendship—or the truth of what has always been between them.

    Or: Colin is a pilot (because there's just not enough of it here), and Penelope is her usual brilliant self.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.

    Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.

    As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.
