Summary
'It’s been nearly a year since the first time they did this.
That time was rushed and frantic. Like there was a risk of someone putting a stop to it and hauling them apart. Like they would die if they didn’t have each other right then and there.
This time is the same, but different. No one is going to stop this. Certainly not her. But it is still frantic and needy. '
----
Colin and Penelope have been friends for years.
They have been friends with benefits for a year.
With life and jobs and Bridgertons getting in the way, they can’t seem to get on the same page.
As time passes with missed opportunities, Colin and Penelope need to find a way to get it right.

Summary
At 34 years old, Colin decides to adopt. What he didn't expect was that, upon crossing the doors of the children's home, he would find two people who would change his life: Agatha, a beautiful baby whom no one seems to choose, and Penelope, a pretty volunteer librarian at the home with whom talking becomes far too easy.
As the bond grows, Colin must make a decision that will change everything: to choose with his heart, even when time is not on his side.

Summary
Rather than her ridiculously large number of siblings (seven!) or her (sometimes) overbearing (but well-meaning) mother, the first and only warning Daphne gave Simon prior to meeting her entire family at his first Bridgerton Brunch was about Colin and Penelope.
“It may look like it, but they are not in a relationship, and you absolutely cannot ask about it,” Daphne had commanded.
But if that’s true, then why does Simon keep walking in on Colin and Penelope making out?

Summary
Phillip Crane is twelve. Eloise Bridgerton is ten. The pond is technically on Aubrey Hall land, though he has never quite conceded this.
They meet every summer. They write letters when they can't. He makes her a bookmark out of pressed clover so she'll stop bending the pages. She embroiders him a lopsided daisy and calls it character.
It is a very long time before either of them calls it anything else.
