Summary
Penelope Featherington is packing up her life and moving to Dublin — new country, new city, new people, a Creative Writing MA at Trinity, and a real shot at finishing her novel. Fresh start, clean slate, no complications. She had a spreadsheet. It had tabs. She had thought of everything.
She had not thought of Colin. She had definitely not thought about living with him.

Summary
Four months after Colin and Penelope’s three year relationship came to a very icy end, the holiday in Greece that had been booked prior, has finally come around.
Not wanting to dampen the mood on Benedict and Sophie’s engagement, Colin and Penelope decide to pretend they’re still very much in love for the three weeks they’re stuck abroad.
With no one apart from Eloise in the know, the pair will have to face some feelings, obstacles and situations they never thought they would have to when they broke up all those weeks before.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton had it all: a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and a fulfilling career.
Saying he’s content is an understatement; he loves this life.
That is until he’s yanked from this reality and finds himself in the hospital, awakening from a coma.
It turns out he is not married and never has been. Penelope’s just his friend, his children don’t exist, and his perfect job is merely a pipe dream.
On a journey of rehabilitation, self-discovery, and grief, Colin must come to terms with the life he has and build it into the one that he dreamed of.
…trying to convince the girl he’s known as his wife of their wonderful life together shouldn’t be too tricky, right?

Summary
It is his sister’s wedding breakfast when Colin overhears the woman he has been courting talking to Lady Featherington – and before he knew it, he is engaged. To Penelope. Penelope, who is decidedly not the woman he has been courting.
By God, he has not so much as gifted her a single bouquet of flowers, which one surely ought to have done before speaking ones vows. Guilt was eating at him. He feared an entire florist shop would not make up for his actions.- Language:
