Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

Summary
For a month, the only thing Penelope managed to tell him was goodnight. For a month, she pretended like that was enough. That is, until Colin showed up at his brother's engagement party unexpectedly.
She knew he wanted answers. She knew he deserved them.
Would she finally be brave enough to give them to him?

Summary
Penelope opens up her flat’s door to a disheveled and heavily panting Colin Bridgerton who apparently got in a bar brawl against her boyfriend after the unsavory things he said about her in his drunken stupor.
She should fix him up and send him packing. Right, just the rightful thing to do. Except that a bruised-from-fighting-for-her-honor Colin was something that had stoked some inner kindling inside her. Alone with him in her apartment in the middle of the night while she tended to his scraped and wounded, but hard, tight and toned torso….she should be fine right?

Summary
Penelope Featherington has always felt like an outsider, even among those who love her best.
She knows the rules: Smile, laugh, belong just enough. Never ask for more. Never hope too loudly.
So, when Colin Bridgerton asks her to be his date to a wedding she really doesn't feel welcome at, Penelope says yes. Of course she does, it's Colin. Hasn't it always been Colin?
Among the fabulous wealth and beautiful people, Penelope pretends she fits. She pretends she isn’t breaking in two every moment of every day.
