Summary
Colin loves Penelope but won't ever tell her. Penelope loves Colin but she has spent the last year trying to move on. Maybe the universe needs to step in with a sign, and sort out their not so unrequited love.
Maybe that sign comes in the form of a tiny little redhead that manages to wrap everyone around her little finger and forces the two of them to confront the feelings they swore never to share...

Summary
“I can’t take back what you’ve seen or what I’ve done,” he was staring at his hands, his thumb ran circles over her skin, “I can’t change who I am Pen or the family I was born into. I can’t run from this.” His expression remained haunted when his eyes met hers. A ghostly reflection of the boy she fell stupidly and childishly in love with.
Penelope held his gaze steadily, unwavering, even when her heart broke. The rope around her neck grew tighter with every breath. If he knew what she was planning, the pile of lies she’d told him, he wouldn’t be looking at her the way that he was now.

Summary
"I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.
"Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.
It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.
"Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.
"No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

Summary
It was messed up. She knew it was. But from the day it had started she hadn't been strong enough to put an end to it.
She was never going to have Colin Bridgerton. Not really. He was too… and so… and she was…
Just Penelope.
Dorky friend of the younger sister.
So if she couldn’t have him in the way she wanted, she would take any piece she could get.

Colin and Penelope have fallen into a messy and complicated friends with benefits situation, that only gets even moreso when Penelope has another man showing interest and she and Colin are thrown into forced proximity.

Summary
“After years of traveling all over the world, seeing incredible things and meeting fascinating people, Colin Bridgerton took everyone by surprise when he said he was coming home and wanted to pursue teaching.
He reached out to Penelope first, asking for advice and a bit of help with the certification process. Penelope was glad to help him; her heart was warmed by Colin’s newfound passion for education, and slowly but surely, Colin was ready to apply for teaching positions. It wasn’t until he had secured a spot at Penelope’s school that she began to grow nervous.”
Childhood friends Colin and Penelope teach in classrooms across the hall from one another. Penelope, in her fourth year of teaching English, shows first-year-teacher Colin the ropes of their now shared profession. As they spend more time together throughout the term, the pair come to see one another in a new light, and the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur.
