Summary
penelope featherington gets assigned a fluffy holiday puff piece about london’s most eligible christmas bachelors, which would be annoying enough if her best friend (and emotional blind spot) colin bridgerton weren’t on the list. colin agrees to the interview on one condition: she has to do christmas with him, whether she likes it or not. somewhere between ice skating, mistletoe, and questions that stop being professional far too quickly, penelope realises this was never going to stay a listicle.

Summary
His mother was convinced he’d only moved to Notting Hill to have his own great love story. And while, yes, he may have the floppy hair and bumbling Britishness required of a Richard Curtis character, the current state of his love life (nonexistent) has Colin convinced his Hugh Grant moment is still a long way off.

Summary
The video finds her at two AM when the algorithm has decided she's vulnerable enough for spiritual content.
Write thirteen wishes, the woman on the screen instructs. One for each month of the coming year, plus one extra. And then, starting on the winter solstice, pull one each night and burn it. Release it to the universe. Trust that it will unfold without you clinging to it.
On New Year's Day, you'll have one wish left. That one is the one thing you are not delegating to the cosmos. The one thing you are committing to actually work toward.
It sounds like nonsense, but when Penelope is twenty-one and overwhelmed by life, the idea of outsourcing some decisions to the universe feels less like magical thinking and more like a legitimate coping mechanism.
At twenty-nine, she writes a wish that makes her hands shake so badly she can barely fold the paper:
I tell Colin how I feel.

Summary
While travelling back to Aubrey Hall for Christmas, Colin Bridgerton finds himself caught in a major snowstorm. His driver manages to get him to the nearest safe dry building, which just so happens to be the Featherington country estate. Penelope meanwhile has been left home alone for a couple of days – her mother had gone to visit a friend before the festive period – and suddenly finds herself host to a single man, her friend’s brother and the boy she’s had a crush on forever. As the storm rages on, bringing England to a standstill, it becomes clear that Colin and Penelope are going to have to put up with each other until the weather clears.
