    Summary

    “The columnist who writes the Love and Sex column has had a medical emergency,” Penelope explains as she takes a fortifying sip of wine. “They want me to take over writing the column for her for an indefinite amount of time while she recovers.”
    Francesca gives Penelope an appraising look. “You’re nervous about this? Why?”
    “I suppose it’s two things,” Penelope says, looking into the middle distance between her friends. “First, it’s a lot of work.”
    “You’ve never been afraid of hard work, Pen,” Eloise offers.
    “Thank you, but second, and probably more importantly, I don’t think I have the requisite experience to do it well.”
    “Why? You’re a great writer,” Colin says from the corner where he’s been uncharacteristically quiet all night.
    Penelope feels herself flame red. “It’s not my writing that’s the issue.”
    --
    Or Penelope is given a work assignment to author a popular Sex Advice column but doesn’t feel she has had enough “experience” to do it well. Colin offers to “help.”

    Summary

    “...we invest the said Mr. Colin Bridgerton, and the lawful heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, to the dignity, title, style, and honor of Marquess of Hartleigh…”

     

    His throat had gone dry. The words on the page did not make sense to him.
    “Um,” he tried, chuckling hoarsely. “Your Majesty, what is - I don’t…”
    “Yes?”
    Eloquence escaped him. “…what is this?”
    The Queen looked mildly annoyed. “Why, I should think it is obvious. You, Mr. Bridgerton, are to be the next Marquess of Hartleigh.”

    One accidental act of heroism, and Colin Bridgerton finds himself elevated to the British peerage. Yet the Queen’s reward comes with a price: as the newly minted Lord Hartleigh, he’s been given an ultimatum - produce an heir within the next eighteen months. And, of course, to do so, he requires a wife. Urgently.

    So why can’t he just pick a debutante and be done with it? And why is he far more interested in spending time in the very enjoyable company of his very good friend, Penelope Featherington?

    Summary

    “Would you help me?” she asked.

    “What?” The tea cup nearly slipped from his grasp.

    “I think I just need some help to…make things interesting–for the story, I mean.”

    “Oh…um…of course, I’d love to help you, Pen,” he said quietly before adding, “but, I’m not sure how?” His massive frame shrunk, shy and hesitant – a stark contrast to the typically poised, confident Colin Bridgerton she knew.

    “Well, I think the biggest challenge is going to be…positioning. My characters have a height difference, kind of like you and me.” She could feel her cheeks flush at her admission, but she bravely continued. “If we could just…simulate various positions–clothes on and everything…that might help?”

    * * * * *

    OR Penelope asks Colin to help her simulate sex positions so she can figure out the logistics of smut. As a friend.
