    Summary

    When Penelope woke up in a fancy hotel in Scotland, exactly three things registered in her brain, in this exact order.

     

    1. Today was Francesca and Michaela’s wedding day

     

    2. She was in Colin Bridgerton’s hotel room.

     

    3. Both of them were very naked.

     

    Fuck.

     

    (Well, that was a word she’d certainly used last night- though it was under much more pleasurable circumstances.)

     

    She’d really gone and done it now, hadn’t she? After all these years of pining for Colin, trying to accept that her love was unrequited, and also these last few months of pretty actively trying to get over him- she’d decided to get under him instead.

     

    Wonderful. Fucking. Wonderful.

     

    (And no- pun not intended.)

     

    OR

    the one where Colin and Penelope get together the same way Monica and Chandler do - by hooking up at a wedding. Featuring Benedict and Eloise being the biggest cockblocks known to man.

    They had never been single at the same time.

    Unintentionally.

    By design.

    Until the night they were.

    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

    Summary

    Penelope liked being almost drunk—just enough to forget how long she’d wanted Colin Bridgerton. But when teasing turned into a dare and laughter faded into breathless silence, she learned that “challenge accepted” could taste a lot like peach margaritas and regret she’d never really felt.
