Summary
Colin thought he was doing a nice thing. He thought he was being a good friend. He thought Pen would be lonely on her impulsive trip to Ibiza after her dud of a fiancee broke up with her. He thought she'd appreciate his company and that he dropped everything he was doing in New York to spend the week with her and help her have a little fun. What he hadn't spent much time thinking about, however, were his best friend's honest motivations for this solo holiday…
—
Or, Penelope goes to Ibiza to get laid after ending her engagement and Colin unknowingly accompanies her to fulfill that goal and much, much more.

Summary
Colin had been looking forward to this assignment for Lonely Planet for months, but everything had changed when his best friend, Penelope, blocked his number. How was he supposed to survive five whole months without talking to someone who means so much to him?
OR
The one where Penelope is pissed, Colin is depressed (and very very dumb), and I brush fifteen years of dust off the art history filing cabinet in my brain.

Summary
“Read it again Pen,” Colin said softly.
She looked back at him, eyes wide and blinking, biting her lower lip, drawing in his attention.
Until today, not an impure thought had passed through his mind of Penelope. He suddenly felt like the wind was knocked out of him. His eyes snapped up to hers, her blue eyes wide and blinking rapidly. He wasn’t sure what to say. It felt like the air had changed around them. All he could think about was her in that moment. Touching her hair, caressing her cheeks, kissing her lips.
He took a deep breath. He could not make sense of the impulses he was having, “please, read it again.”
She swallowed, turned back to the page, and started reading it again. He listened to her sweet voice recite the words of Byron. Did she pick this poem on purpose? ‘How could she’ he reasoned, ‘she’s never seen this book, how would she know’. He was so lost in thought; he didn’t realize she had finished. He wasn’t ready for her to stop reading, what was the last part? She looked over at him again. Had she moved closer to him? Or was he leaning into her?
“Again,” He said, wondering if she could hear him as it came out almost as a whisper.

Summary
Upon hearing that the firstborn son of any of the Featherington daughters will inherit the title and estate, the men of the Ton turn their eyes upon the sole remaining young miss. For power, men will do terrible things.
Penelope is tired, she is out of patience, and she has a deal to uphold. A final season in London with her mama, and she shall be free to do as she pleases. Portia thinks this is the perfect trap. Penelope thinks only of her hidden Whistledown funds and distant Scotland, far from London and the Bridgertons who have burned her terribly, yet still hold her heart. Her path is set, up until a courier arrives at the Featherington's country estate in December, bearing a gift and the promise of a reunion.
Daphne Basset (Formerly Bridgerton) hears the news that her honorary sister is now the target of the worst men of the Ton. Knowing that Colin will go utterly mad upon realizing he is in fact in love with her in the face of such peril, and that Penelope is gravely endangered by this news, she begins to plan.
A game is afoot in London, and Bridgertons never lose. But with unknown players on the board, will all go as planned or will scandal burn even the finest of families?

Summary
The video finds her at two AM when the algorithm has decided she's vulnerable enough for spiritual content.
Write thirteen wishes, the woman on the screen instructs. One for each month of the coming year, plus one extra. And then, starting on the winter solstice, pull one each night and burn it. Release it to the universe. Trust that it will unfold without you clinging to it.
On New Year's Day, you'll have one wish left. That one is the one thing you are not delegating to the cosmos. The one thing you are committing to actually work toward.
It sounds like nonsense, but when Penelope is twenty-one and overwhelmed by life, the idea of outsourcing some decisions to the universe feels less like magical thinking and more like a legitimate coping mechanism.
At twenty-nine, she writes a wish that makes her hands shake so badly she can barely fold the paper:
I tell Colin how I feel.

As illogical as it is, the whole thing is Justin Timberlake’s fault.
Wherein these two idiots watch the movie Friends with Benefits, discuss the merits (and lack thereof) of such a thing, and then decide, like the dummies they are, to maybe, possibly... give it a go?
It goes about as well as one could expect.

Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.

Summary
Colin whispered. “She won’t look at me.”
Anthony’s heart lurched for his brother. The poor poor fool, in love with his best friend and unable to see it. Anthony understood that feeling all too well. He still shuddered to think of what would have happened if he hadn’t come to his senses and professed his love to Kate.
“When we danced, when I all but forced her to, she looked at my waistcoat and told me all was well. When I visited her home, she nodded politely and looked pointedly at her mother’s wallpaper. Today morning at Hyde Park, she spoke at length about her being perfectly fine while staring at my shoes.” Colin said softly, his own eyes downcast, focussing on some inane spot on the mahogany table.
Colin Bridgerton returns from his tour and realizes his dearest friend wants nothing to do with him. Who better than his meddlesome family to give him advice on how to rectify this situation.
