    Summary

    In her fourth year teaching kindergarten, Miss Penelope Featherington thinks she’s seen it all—identical twins who wore matching outfits every day and were impossible to tell apart, a little boy who only talked about himself in the third person, a girl who managed to find a pair of scissors in the cafeteria and cut essentially all her hair off… This year, though, Chloe Bridgerton catches her by surprise. She’s never met a child who so immediately captured her heart. Chloe’s not the only Bridgerton pulling on her heartstrings either. Her “easy on the eyes,” charming father Colin captures her attention in an entirely different way. She’s never had a hard time remaining professional with her students’ parents in the past, but this man might just test every rule and guideline she tries to live her life by—both within the walls of her classroom and outside it too. To make matters more complicated, sweet little Chloe seems determined to become a successful matchmaker on her very first try.

    --

    Or, the one where Pen is a kindergarten teacher, Colin is a single Dad, and they fall in love in part thanks to the meddling of a very special little girl.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is a rather popular travel influencer on Instagram and contributor to GQ magazine. He goes home for the holidays to visit his family after a particularly long stretch abroad. Somehow, he ends up going on an all-expenses paid trip to a little slice of heaven in the Caribbean with his best friend, Penelope Featherington. He’s not used to traveling with another person, but he finds himself rather looking forward to the time away with her even if he’s not sure what to expect. He expects it will all go according to plan. What could possibly go wrong when embarking on a trip with your best friend after all?

    Penelope works in a junior position at a publishing house in London, scraping her way financially through young adulthood. She’s also doing her best to get over her decade plus long infatuation with her best friend Eloise Bridgerton’s older brother Colin. Somehow, she finds herself agreeing to accompany him on a trip to Turks and Caicos after the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t know how she’ll manage it, but Penelope is determined to ensure this trip goes smoothly and that she doesn’t let her heart get ahead of her brain. She and Colin will never be together romantically. Not in a million years.
