    Summary

    Penelope is spending the summer with Eloise at Aubrey Hall while giving Colin the cut direct as he is off on his tour.

    Colin returns home early on the night of a soirée and finds his dearest friend, Penelope, dancing with a suitor (or six) and he quickly finds he hates it with a fiery passion that he did not know he possessed.

    Simply to stay close to her, he, rather unwillingly, agrees to give her lessons of sorts to ensnare her new beau but they backfire when Colin quickly comes to realize that Penelope has captured his heart instead.

    Or

    The story where all are scheming and Colin is chaotic.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton works as a lumberjack in the family mill and has a steadfast determination with winning over Penelope Featherington, who works in the office.

    She is a friend of the Bridgertons, that he has known nearly all his life, and is close with everyone in his family...except him, for reasons he does not understand.

     

    They used be so close - as close as Penelope and Eloise were - more so at times. Now she was...civil…some of the time. The more distant and further she pushes herself away from him, the more he misses her and yearns for...something he didn't know he was lacking.

     

    Sweaty, flannelled Lumberjack Colin with a beard! Nuff’ said!

    Not enough said? Icy Pen, friends to enemies to lovers, sweet marshmallow Colin. Pining. Smut. Wayyyy more damn smut than intended thanks to Polin Week.
