    Summary

    It's exhausting, honestly. Loving someone this much.

    Six months of silence, and then Aubrey Hall.

    Penelope and Colin are thrown back into each other’s orbit for Kate and Anthony’s wedding, with too much history and not nearly enough distance. Tension simmers, old wounds resurface, and neither of them is as unaffected as they’d like to be.

    Summary

    After Colin witnesses Penelope's failures with men firsthand, he offers to help her learn how to flirt, leading to disastrous results as he finds himself questioning whether he knows anything about women at all, and wondering why watching Penelope become more successful at dating makes him want to claw his own eyes out.

    --

    Penelope Featherington hates clubs. As soon as she walks in the door and the scent of sweat and body odor overtakes her nostrils, along with the thumping of the base and strobe lights from the DJ booth, she immediately regrets all of her decisions that led her here tonight.

    She scans the crowd, praying to find a recognizable face quickly and minimize the amount of time she has to awkwardly stand alone on the wall. She’s spent most of her life in such positions, but normally she had Eloise by her side. Someone to whisper with as they judged all of the glorious people who weren’t too scared to put themselves out there and behave as though they were the main character in their own stories. She envied them. She hated them. Since Eloise moved to Birmingham for work a few months ago, Penelope finds herself struggling to become the main character in her own life.

    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

    "I do not blame you for putting on armour lately, but you must be careful that the armour does not rust and set so that you might never be able to take it off" ~ Violet Bridgerton

    After his fiancee's deception had left him humiliated and heartbroken, Colin Bridgerton had sworn off women and thrown himself into his work, hardening his heart and rejecting love.

    So, what do you do when the man you’re in love with barely acknowledges that you’re female let alone realise that you have feelings for him?

    Penelope Featherington knew exactly what she was going to do and Colin was going to hate it.

    Summary

    Penelope had been certain — certain! — that Colin would one day return her affections.

    When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.

    After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.

    One question lingers in the back of her mind — why on earth does Colin look so stricken to find her doing just that?
