    Summary

    To an observer, Colin and Penelope were nothing more than frosty acquaintances.

    That did not stop Penelope from lingering in the Bridgerton family wing, however.

    “Took you long enough,” Colin mumbled in Penelope’s ear as he dragged her down the hall towards his room. Penelope could hear her heart pound in her ears as she submitted to him.

    -

    Three years after calling off their engagement, Colin is back in town for the new social season. How much longer can Penelope continue to deny him?

    Summary

    After a rather dramatic encounter at the end of the year, Colin Bridgerton rushes home from Greece to face his friend (and his feelings) as he fights to protect her from herself.

    Penelope Featherington, however, will do everything in her power to let her saviour know that she does not, in fact, need saving and would quite like for him to stop his meddling.

    The two come together through the 1814 Season to navigate business, a saviour complex, and the terrifying notion of telling your friend you are in love with them.

    Summary

    Colin maintained that his recent bout of lunacy was, in its entirety, all Penelope Featherington’s fault. For, had she not been so very resolute in her refusal to speak to him after an off-season's worth of unanswered letters, it was wholly possible that – after having overheard his mother lamenting both the state of the Featherington baronry and the effects of Lady Featherington’s now rather indiscreet baby race on Penelope’s chances at a felicitous (if practical) match – Colin would have acted far more rationally than to orchestrate a not-so-clandestine, not-so-very-appropriate, and also not-at-all-truthful midnight tryst between them in the orangery at Vauxhall Gardens.

    (Maybe.)

    After all, if it was simply time Penelope needed to work her way towards forgiving him and restoring their once warm friendship, as his mother had suggested… Well, then a lifetime together would certainly suit that, with change to spare, wouldn’t it?

     

     

    — or, Penelope is a storm Colin is determined to weather. A different take on the entrapment of it all.
