    Summary

    27 year old, aspiring writer Penelope Featherington is looking for a new job — recently evicted from her flat and now staying at her best friend's house until she can figure out what to do next — Penelope decides she just needs something over the summer so she can save money. After a lot of failed job interviews, she ends up working for her best friend's older brother as a live-in nanny. What she didn’t anticipate was his grumpy attitude, cold demeanor, his lack of enthusiasm for his own work, and the fact that he can't seem to stop looking at her.

    39 year old, single dad Colin Bridgerton is a father by day and a writer by night. His job getting more demanding and stressful because of the highly anticipated next installment of his book series, he decides that he needs a little help balancing his home and work life so he agrees to hire his sister’s friend Penelope Featherington as his live-in nanny. It was supposed to be a good opportunity for him to get the help he needed, to be able to fix his schedule, to get on track, but what he didn’t expect was the torture it was to want to kiss her every time she opened her smart mouth.

    Summary

    Colin leans over to ruffle her hair but she shoves him off, her heart ping-ponging around her ribcage. “I knew you’d figure it out on your own. I don’t know if anyone’s told you this, but you’re a pretty smart cookie, Penelope Featherington.”

    “Not that smart,” she says churlishly, to hide the way the ball of light bursts and thrums inside of her. “Eloise figured it out when she was a kid.”

    “You’re only a little bit older than I was when I came out. It’s harder when you’re bi, because you can convince yourself that the attraction you feel to the opposite gender is the real attraction. You can’t be gay, can you? Not if you still fancy girls - or boys, in your case,” he adds.

    Boy, she thinks. Just boy.

    Summary

    "She had way too much tonight. And he knew she would, she does this every time a guy breaks her heart. Or her ego, maybe. Her heart never really seems in it, which is confusing to him since Penelope does just about everything heart-first.

    Except dating.

    He wonders if that has something to do with her upbringing, her mother, a lack of love. Some sort of avoidance of it all, some sort of block.

    But still, every time. With Henry she drank every single beer out of his fridge. She hates beer. He held her hair back as she hurled for hours in the early morning. With Phineas she showed up at his already plastered, mascara stains on her cheeks as she smiled weird and wide and asked to come inside. With George she was calmer, but she still called him after drinking a whole bottle of wine by herself and he could tell she had been crying. It's always clear in her voice. In her eyes.

    Heart-first."

    Based on this Twitter prompt:

    "Drunk Pen: Colin is actually so good looking.
    Colin: …
    Pen: don’t tell him I said that
    Colin: I won’t"

    Summary

    The Bridgertons are all jetting off to the Scottish Highlands for Christmas and Penelope Featherington is coming with them this year. She's a close family friend and gets along famously with each and every member (young and old) with one significant exception-- the third eldest son, Colin Bridgerton. They may have been best friends as children, but now, in their mid and late twenties, they couldn't be further from friends. These days they can't even be in the same room with one another without trading verbal jabs that intensify steadily until someone literally has to pull them apart. After a lot of deliberation, though, Penelope accepts Violet's invitation despite this fact. She figures they'll be staying in a huge house and there will be a crowd of other people to distract herself with. What she can't possibly know, however, is that the storm of the century and a series of unforeseen events are going to make that house and that crowd much, much smaller.
