Summary
"I have needs," he blurts out, and then his face does something awful, crumbling almost, before he catches and rights it out of habit. "Fuck. That came out wrong. I don't mean—I'm not—" His hands are shaking. "I need help, Pen. And I think you might be the only person I trust enough to ask."
Colin asks. Penelope gives. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the structure starts to fail.

Summary
Welcome to My Best Friend Ride - aka the JoyRide (TM) AU
Colin has a genius - and highly unconventional - idea for a new van service catering to best friends looking for... more, so much more... He just needs to convince his best friend, Penelope, to be his business partner to properly sell the "ultimate joy-ride experience."
“How are we the perfect couple to sell a joyride for best friends?” She doesn't even hide the incredulity in her voice.
“You know what? You're right, Pen!” A wicked thought forms in his mind. “We should go on our own joyride and take notes. You know, for… business reasons."

Summary
“I’m sorry,” he tested, pleased when she seemed to deflate a little in relief. “I don’t mean to upset you, Pen. It’s just—well, I feel very…it makes me a little crazy to see you with anybody else.”
To Colin’s astonishment, fear didn’t come flooding back into her eyes at his admission. In fact, her eyes seemed to go a touch hazy, the last of her frown melting away as she looked all over his face, her gaze lingering for a few seconds on his mouth.
“I’ve never made a guy crazy before,” she murmured, still staring at his mouth.
Colin’s belly began fluttering and clenching, a nervous energy suddenly ricocheting all over his insides—she liked the fact she made him crazy. She liked that he was a little surly and snarly and mean. What’s more—she liked that she was the cause of it.
“You make me crazy, Pen,” he whispered, dragging his eyes to her mouth. “Don’t make me hurt anybody else when all I want is you.”

Summary
After Colin witnesses Penelope's failures with men firsthand, he offers to help her learn how to flirt, leading to disastrous results as he finds himself questioning whether he knows anything about women at all, and wondering why watching Penelope become more successful at dating makes him want to claw his own eyes out.
--
Penelope Featherington hates clubs. As soon as she walks in the door and the scent of sweat and body odor overtakes her nostrils, along with the thumping of the base and strobe lights from the DJ booth, she immediately regrets all of her decisions that led her here tonight.
She scans the crowd, praying to find a recognizable face quickly and minimize the amount of time she has to awkwardly stand alone on the wall. She’s spent most of her life in such positions, but normally she had Eloise by her side. Someone to whisper with as they judged all of the glorious people who weren’t too scared to put themselves out there and behave as though they were the main character in their own stories. She envied them. She hated them. Since Eloise moved to Birmingham for work a few months ago, Penelope finds herself struggling to become the main character in her own life.

Summary
When Penelope finds out her husband is cheating on her, she wants to leave the marriage. Unfortunately for her husband the timing could not be worse. They come up with a compromise.
****
“So I suppose there is just one thing left to discuss.” Colin stated, taking the glass out of her hand and placing it on the side table next to one of the plush armchairs, only to resume his position towering over her.
“What?” she asked, feeling slightly confused for a second. The confusion was short-lived, though, when Colin’s hands came to rest just above the curve of her plentiful hips and he dipped his head down low, stopping his mouth a hairsbreadth away from her own.
He smiled, his pupils dilated wide.

Summary
“Good,” Colin’s mouth curves upward as he hums, using his pen to underline ‘writers block.’ He leans forward, hands on his knees as he meets her eyes. “So, I'm thinking…while we’re both here, what if we swapped genres? You write a romance novel, and I will write one of your realistic fiction books–that way, the change in what kind of thing we’re writing about will break both of us out of this…creative lapse in judgement.”
Penelope snorts, raising her eyebrows in complete and true disbelief. “Me…write a romance novel?” She says, her voice flat. “There’s no way you’re being serious.”
“Fine. But we make it a contest. We have to finish this book by August and whoever sells the most copies wins. The loser has to endorse the book of the person who wins, repeatedly. I’m talking social media, press tours, when you’re giving out recommendations at the Notting hill bookshop, all of it,” Penelope argues firmly. “I want my name and the name of my books to be in your mouth, constantly.”
Colin, looking a little awe struck by the initiative she’s taken, grins proudly. “Deal.”
