Summary
It's exhausting, honestly. Loving someone this much.
Six months of silence, and then Aubrey Hall.
Penelope and Colin are thrown back into each other’s orbit for Kate and Anthony’s wedding, with too much history and not nearly enough distance. Tension simmers, old wounds resurface, and neither of them is as unaffected as they’d like to be.

This year he was chosen to be the gala chair and host for the Bridgerton charity gala. The biggest social event in London every year.
His best mate and honorary brother James is bringing his new girl to the gala and along for a couples getaway week to the Bridgerton estate. No one is shocked more than Colin that his playboy friend is finally serious about a woman.
When he walks into the ballroom he is confused when he spots a young redhead hovering around his family's gala table. And even more confused when he shakes her hand and she is introduced as his best mate's new girl.

Summary
"Marry me," Colin blurts out suddenly, turning to her fully. "I did not mean to be so abrupt about it—it is just that it shall work in our favor."
Her eyes are wide. Pure shock spreading across her face, as though he has told her something scandalous. He watches as she blinks a few times, those blue eyes looking at him. It is the perfect plan, is it not?
The two of them are friends. Plenty of people in the Ton have married for similar conveniences.
"W—what did you…?"
"Marry me, Penelope," he repeats. "As the Viscount, I am expected to take a wife. If you marry me, you shall be free of all the eyes on you. You will have your own free will."
The one where Viscount Colin Bridgerton is under pressure to take a wife. Who better than to offer a marriage to than his best friend Penelope Featherington? Or Colin and Penelope enter into a marriage of convivence.

Summary
A certain author is turning 50 this month, so here I'm exploring an older Penelope with a younger Colin - a 15 year age gap. He's 21 when they meet and it's a slow burn, he falls first and she pushes him away, but if that premise gives you the ick, back out now please!
Writing this for Penelope's birthday in Polin week and for my birthday soon! Still a work in progress but hoping to get it finished pretty soon (famous last words)

Summary
ㅤ🎶 And then I go and spoil it all
by saying somethin’ stupid like I love you 🎶
It all started when Penelope openly lost her marbles during the staff meeting, a week after their trip to Aubrey Hall.
A single long weekend–meant for sweet marshmallow-roasting–had turned their bond of nearly two decades into a wreckage of silent suffering, stretching her resolve so thin she snapped. She wanted to claw her way out of her Colin-shaped bubble wrap because she couldn’t breathe anymore.
So, why not pour gasoline on the fire in front of the whole office?
All she wanted was to avoid him. All he wanted was for her to talk to him and tell him what broke her. The only communication–forced and charged with tension–begs the question: could the remains of their friendship vanishing before their eyes force them to see what they've both been too blind to admit, or will they insist on saying something stupid that isn't ”I love you”?

Summary
In a world where life is moving rapidly, you’re lucky if you find the one person who will steady life around you. Mute it. Give you peace.
Sometimes that person is the only reason you walked into that bar in Queens.
Sometimes that person was there to prove everything you thought about yourself was wrong.It’s the law of inevitability— a key component of The Improbability Principle, which states that among all possible outcomes of a random event, at least one must occur.
A life of decisions and situations will always bring you here: to the person you were bound to be changed by, forever.This story follows two people who are running in opposite directions, but in turn are looking for exactly the same thing.
This is the Art of Falling.
And this is the Art of Falling out of love.
A spectre of probabilities that lead to where you least expect it.
Or
Penelope Featherington needs to experience heartbreak, and Colin Bridgerton needs to experience love.

Summary
“YOU DID WHAT?!”
Colin rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. He had expected this reaction.
“I’m sorry, Pen. I was drunk and the guys at work kept bringing up that photo of us on my desk, and invited us to a romantic weekend getaway at some beach. They think we’re a couple.”
Penelope glared at him, looking even more pissed off. Colin didn’t blame her.
“I understand that part. I get the mix up. What I don’t understand is the part where you didn’t tell them otherwise. You told them we were engaged Colin. Why did you say that?! We are friends!”
