    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton has written a book, and it’s been surprisingly successful. There’s one small snag: his publisher thinks his female pen name is really him. What’s a boy to do but ask an old friend for a little favour, just one publicity appearance, while his publisher puts out a second print run? Surely she will say yes? Surely their own history and feelings won’t get in the way? And surely things won’t spiral from one little white lie to maintain his anonymity into... a publishing deal at risk, a possible Netflix adaption offer, and, oh God, a romance writers’ conference?

    As his old friend Pen likes to say, "It’s go time, girls."

    (a.k.a. a story extremely loosely inspired by the Claudia Karvan & Hugh Jackman romcom, Paperback Hero. No planes and no Hugh Jackman in this story though. Sorry.)

    Summary

    “Have you done it more than once?”

    “Yes.”

    Colin’s mouth felt dry as the desert. He licked his lips and asked, “With different partners?”

    “Yes.”

    Colin swallowed. “Does it hurt?”

    Her face was briefly illuminated by the city lights as the car moved through the quiet streets, and one corner of her mouth turned slightly upwards. Her eyes seemed to gleam in the darkness. “A little, it always does in the beginning but it’s a good hurt if you’re doing it right.”

    Or

    the anal sex fic nobody asked for.

    Summary

    Midway through their lazy conversation, Colin realizes that this is, perhaps, his perfect Sunday afternoon scenario. Laying in bed with Penelope Featherington and doing absolutely nothing, not even for the first time that week.  

    He’s attracted to Penelope. In the really deep, immediate way that has always taken him way too long to reach with someone. 

    He feels seen. He feels singled out. He feels cared for.

    He feels ready.
