Summary
When Violet Bridgerton invites Penelope Featherington to be a guest at her destination wedding in the BVI, Penelope is grateful for the chance to relax and spend time with her second family. However, she's surprised to find old, (supposedly) unrequited feelings resurface when Colin Bridgerton shows up with his new girlfriend, Marina Thompson.
(a.k.a. undeniable chemistry, a sprinkle of jealousy, a little white lie, and lots of beach holiday clichés ... let's do this.)

Summary
"You don't seem to be breathing enough."
"Colin."
"And every time we slide, your lips flatten into this little line—"
"I am a grown woman and perfectly capable of driving my own car in the snow—"
The wheels started sliding, so she drove into it, as she was taught.
But the car didn't recover.
It kept going.
~
Driving to Aubrey Hall in a snowstorm for Christmas is more dangerous than Penelope expects.
And more enlightening, especially after she crashes into a tree, and Colin insists upon hashing out their problems in the freezing winter air.

Summary
Every December Colin sends his friend Penelope a fun advent calendar – something silly toys or tasty treats. It’s their thing. A little tradition which started years ago.
Only this year when the calendar arrives Penelope’s heart stops. Her brain melts. Her whole world turned on its head.
This calendar didn’t contain toys or treats. This calendar didn’t contain anything at all, except written suggestions.
Sexy suggestions.
Because apparently her friend Colin had decided to send her a sexy advent calendar for horny couples.
———————
“I can’t believe after all these years this is how he tells you he’s down to fuck.” Gen laughs like a maniac. “I’m not sure if he’s smooth or psychotic?”
“Shut the fuck up, Gen! Shut the fuck up.”
She needs to concentrate.

Summary
"I should sooner marry a dear friend like Penelope Featherington than any of the ladies you dunces might select for me.”
When Colin Bridgerton inadvertently declares his intent to marry Penelope Featherington, he unwittingly alters both their fates. Wracked with guilt for ensnaring his dearest friend in a situation she never sought, he vows to set things right. But Penelope, ever-practical, refuses to let him sacrifice himself for a match devoid of love.
Determined to make amends, Colin proposes a solution: A courtship of convenience to allow Penelope to garner the attention of other suitors. But, as Colin spends more time in her company, he finds himself increasingly unwilling to let her go.
Or,
What if Colin hadn't been caught saying he'd never court Penelope Featherington? What if, instead, he loudly claimed he wished to marry a friend, perhaps somebody like her, and sweet little Hyacinth kindly let the class know.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been trying to get over her crush on her best friend Colin Bridgerton for the last several years. It should be pretty easy to do considering he spends the vast majority of his time away from London and in far off corners of the world as part of his travel writing and social media enterprises. He’s never around and she only sees him a couple of times a year at most. However, it turns out her problem in being unable to get over him has nothing to do with how often she spends time with him in-person. Her problem is the telephone.
--
Or, the one where Penelope and Colin start having phone sex as “friends.”

Summary
It wasn’t normal for them not to see each other as soon as he was back, and she knew he’d be upset, but selfishly Penelope really wanted to try and move on from him, and make things work with the new guy in her life, she liked him and he seemed to like her too. They’d been seeing each other for a few weeks and she didn’t want Colin to derail things.
So she bought herself more time before seeing Colin again. Better to focus on possibility, she'd told herself.
But then they'd had a fight.

Two strangers. One room. Fifty days. No stimuli. £5 million.
A desperate Penelope enters a study to win £5 million. All she has to do is stay in a stark-white, nearly empty room for fifty days with another person. No technology, no books, no games, no anything. Nothing but a bed, a bathroom, and a person she’s never met for almost two months.
It seems easy enough, until she steps out of the elevator and sees that her partner is anything but a stranger, and this study is anything but ordinary.
