    Summary

    Penelope’s world revolves around her daughter, Jane, a bright and curious child on the autism spectrum whose life thrives on stability and routine. After years of heartbreak, Penelope has built a calm, steady rhythm for them both. One that doesn’t have room for the man who once shattered her trust.

    Colin Bridgerton comes home sober, but sobriety doesn’t erase the wreckage he left behind. He’s haunted by the years he lost and by Penelope, the woman he loved through them all.

    Summary

    Colin lives in Paris. And when Penelope comes to his city on her book tour, it's the first time they've seen each other in two years.

    Penelope only has an hour or so before she has to take a train home, so they make the most of the time they have, wandering the city, catching up.

    But what starts as two friends reconnecting quickly feels like something more. Something familiar. Something irresistible.

    OR: a story of Polin in Paris, inspired by the Before Sunset movie.

    Summary

    Penelope has spent half of her life alone in love with Colin Bridgerton. In an unexpected development, she finds herself falling into a friends with benefits relationship with his brother, Benedict.

    When the entire Bridgerton family gathers at Aubrey Hall for Christmas, Penelope included, she finds herself caught up in trying to keep her encounters with Benedict hidden from the family, preventing her feelings for Colin from spilling over, and making it through the holiday with some semblance of dignity.

    --

    The guest room in Aubrey Hall was familiar to Penelope at this point. When she was younger, she’d share with Eloise every time they visited. She was always her plus one. After they graduated secondary school, Violet made a big deal about her having her own room for their annual summer visits and any other holidays Penelope joined for.

    Moving around the room unpacking her items with a familiar cadence, she paused when she reached her toiletry bag. The box of condoms she’d hastily stashed in there stared back at her. Why had she packed them? This was absurd. She swore to herself she wouldn’t need them. That it was a family holiday and she was going to behave herself, not rouse suspicion.
