Summary
Some love stories begin with an unexpected meeting.
Colin and Penelope’s began with a promise.
They were only fifteen when they fell in love, convinced that what they had was simple, eternal, unbreakable. For years, it was.
But time has a way of pulling people apart. Colin became consumed by work, travel, and responsibilities. Penelope stayed behind, filling the spaces he left empty, until she began to disappear from his sight altogether.
What was once effortless love became silence. What was once certainty became doubt.
After eighteen years together and fourteen years of marriage, one devastating argument changes everything. A slammed door. A business trip. A goodbye that never came.
Penelope refuses to let their story end without a fight. Determined to save the marriage she still believes in, she follows Colin before the distance between them becomes impossible to cross.
But some journeys change everything.
And some doors should never be opened unless you’re ready for what’s waiting on the other side.
Penelope wasn’t.
Because when she finally finds Colin, he isn’t alone.

Summary
****She was startled back to the moment when two large hands gripped her waist and pulled her toward him over the gear shift, settling her into his lap. She giggled, even though her heart felt like it wanted to leap out of her chest. His warm, soft lips slid over hers immediately in a lazy, gentle kiss, yet one thick with desire. Penelope whimpered, clinging to his neck with one hand while the other buried her fingers in his dense chestnut curls. She had missed him—his touch. In truth, she missed him every moment he wasn't beside her, every single minute and second.

Summary
"Col, could you give me a hand?" Penelope looked up from her place in the sand, handing the tube of sunscreen toward him.
"Sure, baby," Colin said reflexively, initially confused by the alarmed eye-widening of his already freckling girlfriend. His cheeks burned, whispering a soft sorry as he looked around them to see if anyone was paying the pair any mind. Though it would come as a relief to Penelope, Colin was somewhat disappointed no one heard. She was his baby. It would do others good to know.
But alas, patience.
—or, "secret dating" at the beach on the Bridgertons annual holiday.
