    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is a wanderer — always somewhere new, always charming his way through life without much reason to settle down. Among the people he keeps coming back to is Penelope Featherington, an old friend who has built exactly the quiet, grounded life he never wanted for himself. When a car accident puts Penelope's life in danger, something shifts in Colin that he can't shake. For the first time, he has to reckon with what she actually means to him — but Penelope has spent years making peace with who Colin is, and she's not waiting around. He has a lot to prove, and no guarantee she'll let him.

    Summary

    “Good,” Colin’s mouth curves upward as he hums, using his pen to underline ‘writers block.’ He leans forward, hands on his knees as he meets her eyes. “So, I'm thinking…while we’re both here, what if we swapped genres? You write a romance novel, and I will write one of your realistic fiction books–that way, the change in what kind of thing we’re writing about will break both of us out of this…creative lapse in judgement.”

    Penelope snorts, raising her eyebrows in complete and true disbelief. “Me…write a romance novel?” She says, her voice flat. “There’s no way you’re being serious.”

    “Fine. But we make it a contest. We have to finish this book by August and whoever sells the most copies wins. The loser has to endorse the book of the person who wins, repeatedly. I’m talking social media, press tours, when you’re giving out recommendations at the Notting hill bookshop, all of it,” Penelope argues firmly. “I want my name and the name of my books to be in your mouth, constantly.”

    Colin, looking a little awe struck by the initiative she’s taken, grins proudly. “Deal.”

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton had it all: a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and a fulfilling career.

    Saying he’s content is an understatement; he loves this life.

    That is until he’s yanked from this reality and finds himself in the hospital, awakening from a coma.

    It turns out he is not married and never has been. Penelope’s just his friend, his children don’t exist, and his perfect job is merely a pipe dream.

    On a journey of rehabilitation, self-discovery, and grief, Colin must come to terms with the life he has and build it into the one that he dreamed of.

    …trying to convince the girl he’s known as his wife of their wonderful life together shouldn’t be too tricky, right?
