    Summary

    Colin returns from his continental travels with a clear head and a newfound sense of self, completely unaware that his highest compliment is one of the very things that breaks Penelope's heart.

    But when the comfortable, thoughtless certainty of their friendship begins to fracture under the unforgiving scrutiny of Mayfair, Colin realizes that keeping Penelope safely in the margins is no longer enough. To win her, he must do the hardest thing he has ever attempted: he must trade his careless charm for absolute restraint. Stepping onto the battlefield of the ton, Colin sets out to dismantle Penelope’s walls and court her with terrifying, undeniable intention.

    But as the stakes rise, Penelope must decide if she is brave enough to step out of the shadows, especially when her own secrets threaten to write a tragic end to their story.

    Or: Colin once said Pen did not count. Now, he must prove to all of London that she is the only one who does.

    Summary

    For years, Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington have been everything to each other except honest. Everyone around them can see it. It only takes one rainy Friday, one shared sofa, and one very long overdue realisation for them to stop pretending the thing between them is ordinary.

    Or: the one where everyone (and by everyone, I mean all of us) already knows Colin and Penelope are in love but Colin and Penelope themselves.

    Summary

    He’s in Zagreb, scouting out Christmas markets, when he gets a call from Anthony. Dread fills his chest. An unscheduled call from Anthony is never a good thing.

    His oldest brother’s voice is curt. “They think Benedict had a stroke. He’s in for a scan now.”

    *

    In which Colin is faced with a family crisis just as he's figuring out his life.

    A bit of Colin reflection, hurt/comfort, Bridgertons being Bridgertons, and of course Colin/Penelope all the way. CW for medical crisis and reference to past character death (Edmund.)
