But now he is moving back home and he needs a place to stay, just as Penelope suddenly has a spare room available. So when he asks her if he can stay with her, despite her knowledge it will not be safe for her sanity, she agrees.
Or

Summary
Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).
He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.
Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.
.OR: post-divorce, Colin Bridgerton takes his friend Penelope on a road trip to Italy

Summary
Modern AU
Colin comes back from a six-month trip and his family is far too busy to even welcome him home. Luckily, his best friend, Penelope, is always there for him and comes to pick him up from the airport. But being away for six months means that he no longer has a place to live. Thankfully, Eloise has gone away for the next four weeks and just happens to live across the hall from Penelope...
A fun little romantic romp where two idiots are in love with each other, but neither can voice it.

Summary
'Well, I can't just sit here and do nothing.' Violet said as she stood up from her chair, her arms tight at her sides. 'We have to do something.'
'Do you think the MPS will actually find him? Find Debling?' Benedict asked and Eloise could feel the collective doubt fill the room. They all already knew the answer to that one.
'There's no way. If he hasn't hopped on a boat already, he will have by the time they even get around to looking for him. It'll be another case thrown in a box and put on a shelf.' Eloise replied and the doubt in the room was quickly replaced by anger.
'Well, I'm not fucking okay with that.' Hyacinth said.
Penelope may not have been their actual sister but she had been in their family for 18 years. Blood meant nothing when it came to her.
'Me either.' Benedict and Gregory chimed in.
'No, that's not enough. We know people, right Anthony?' Violet asked and the entire room turned to look at him.
'We know lots of people.' Anthony said with a small smile on his face, eyebrow raised. 'What kind of people are you thinking?
OR....Debling beats the shit out of Penelope and the Bridgerton's take care of it.
