Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
“I do not know how to swim.”
The words come out in a rush, like a waterfall tumbling over rocks.
“No one knows,” Penelope adds miserably. “Not even Eloise.”
“I know, Pen,” Colin says, and his voice is as gentle as the lapping of water along the pond’s shore.
“H-how? All those summers we spent together. Why did you never say anything before?”
“Because you did not say anything, and I had no wish to embarrass or upset you. There is no shame, and it is never too late to learn.”
OR
Colin has been waiting for Penelope’s debut for years—finally, he will be able to court her properly. But when she flees the presentation hall, everything he hoped for shatters. One summer morning, a swimming lesson changes everything.

Summary
Years after their divorce, Penelope Bridgerton is called to A&E as Colin Bridgerton’s emergency contact—only to learn that a benign brain tumour may explain the anger that destroyed their marriage.
Staying means reopening old wounds. Leaving means abandoning the man she once planned a life with.
Set in modern London, this is a slow, hard-earned reconciliation about illness, accountability, and choosing each other again—not out of obligation, but love.
(I got this idea after watching S2 E2 of "The Pitt", went down a rabbit-hole, now here we are.)

Summary
"Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"
Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.
On the day she finds out she is to be married, Penelope falls in love
