    Summary

    After twenty years of shared secrets and whispers. Penelope and Colin are officially leaning into their "hag era" with a marriage of convenience. At thirty-eight and forty-three, they’ve traded the pressure of the marriage mart for a comfortable pact: she gets a travel partner to spice up her retired-Whistledown life, and he finally gets the constant companion he’s been chasing across four continents. It’s a perfectly sensible, purely practical arrangement... isn't it?

    A mix of book and show Polin because I'm a sucker for them.

    Summary

    A girl stepped into the road. Not walked. Not even jogged. Colin’s foot slammed the brake. The DeVille squealed in protest.
    “Bloody hell!”

    It was like time paused for dramatic effect. There, centre frame, stood a woman in a full white dress. It took Colin hopelessly long to figure out it was supposed to be a wedding dress—flowy, beautiful, striking. Her hair was dishevelled, and she had the sort of face casting directors would kill for (of course he noticed, the girl had, objectively, an extensively beautiful face.)

    Colin blinked. The fair lady blinked back.
    Then, without a word, she walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in.

    Colin gaped. “Um. Hello?”

    The girl looked straight ahead. “Drive.”

    Summary

    Publishing magnate Agatha Danbury finally got her favorite author Penelope Featherington to retire her num de plume Lady Whistledown and disclose her identity to the public three months before the release of the ninth and final book of her romance book series titled ‘Mayfair Affairs’.

    Editor Siena Rosso concerned that Penelope’s single status could harm book sales offers to hire an actor to play her devoted boyfriend. Penelope promptly rejects the offer just in time for her dear friend Colin Bridgerton to waltz in and volunteer for the position.

    The question plaguing Penelope is whether she can survive six months of fake dating Colin “the love of her life” Bridgerton.

    Neither of them realize that the real question is whether Colin Bridgerton can survive six months of fake dating his best friend.

    Summary

    After the work party meet-up in London that wasn't, and then the night in Sheffield that definitely was, Colin has gone to the big apple and plans to see Pen at the weekend once he gets back.

    -

    I have no plan for this. None whatsoever. I just wanted to write some fluffy fluff. It hasn't troubled the desks of my usual Beta readers, and the formatting is probably iffy!

    Please read 'Since yesterday' first, also in this series. It's probably fine without, but definitely much more fun with.

    Updates will be occasional and random!

    Hope you find it fun though,
