    Summary

    Amid grief, buried secrets, and quiet resentment, Colin and Penelope must face trials that threaten to carve a growing abyss between them.
    Can a broken heart still find hope in the midst of mourning?
    Can a love that has lived quietly for years to survive amidst so much pain.

    Summary

    Colin prides himself on being a gentleman. He has practically ensured it. He does not kiss gently bred ladies in the cover of darkness in the gardens of a host or stow them away in his bedroom or ask them to steal away from their chaperones so that they might have a few moments alone to simply talk discuss subjects that might interest them both.

    But perhaps, not all of that is true.

    Or one small request from Penelope turns their worlds upside down; a Polin regency fake amnesia AU

    Summary

    And when you wrote about Miss Thompson?” His harsh voice and eyes darkened by fury made her flinch, taking a step back. Miss Thompson—Marina hadn't been Miss Thompson for a long time. She had been Lady Crane for two years now, but it seemed Colin still hadn't gotten used to it, or perhaps he refused to accept it. Penelope was on the verge of falling apart. So that’s what this was all about—about Marina and the chance she had stolen from him to marry her. Her heart pounded in her chest, and a sensation akin to nausea settled in her stomach. Her mouth grew dry, and her ears rang as she tried to find the right words to defend herself. But none came.
    Colin and Penelope meet on the night before the wedding, on the dark little street in front of Madame Delacroix’s shop. Events unfold differently than in the show, and Colin doesn’t seem as forgiving. Penelope accepts his criticisms and unfounded accusations, and realizes one thing: he has never gotten over his former love, Marina Thompson, and she was directly responsible for the loss of his engagement.

    Summary

    “Colin?” she called and he pulled himself out of his thoughts, thinking that he really missed the way she said his name.

    “Perhaps we can change that,” he responded.

    An adorable frown formed on her forehead, “Pardon?”

    Colin didn't know where the conversation was heading but spoke anyway. “I could make some introductions. Pen, anyone would be lucky to court you.”

    Penelope's frown deepened, “I- That's totally unnecessary, Colin.”

    He was puzzled, didn't she want to marry? “Why not? You could meet someone and-”

    “There's really no need to go to all this trouble,” she said with a tone of finality.

    “But-”

    “I have a lover, Colin!” she blurted.
