    Summary

    Penelope thought revealing herself as Lady Whistledown would set her free. Instead, it made her the Queen’s employee. Now she must choose between her purpose and her peace, and Colin “My Wife” Bridgerton is ready to burn it all down if that’s what it takes.

    Summary

     

    And then, the last layer fell, and Colin’s heart stopped.
    It wasn’t a cut, nor a scratch.
    It was a tattoo.
    Written in ornate, yet clearly legible black letters, was a single word.
    A name, to be exact.

    Colin comes back from Anthony's stag do with an unusual souvenir.
    Will Pen find ink in forbidden places?

    Summary

    "Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"

    Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.

    Summary

    Penelope is doing her best to be a supportive best friend for Eloise's annual Galentine's Day dinner. But without a Valentine to celebrate with the next day, and her longtime crush Colin off on his travels, there's little for her to be excited about.

    That is, until Colin shows up unannounced, on a mission to make Penelope his. If only his family would stop getting in his way.
