    Summary

    For years, Colin Bridgerton has behaved as though Penelope Featherington belongs especially to him. His family has noticed. Penelope has certainly noticed. Colin, unfortunately, has not.

    But when Penelope enters society and the rest of the ton begins to admire what he has known since he was eleven, Colin finds himself objecting to an increasing number of perfectly innocent men and growing rather less convinced that what he feels is only protectiveness.

    Or: Colin has spent years acting like Penelope is exclusively his and is very annoyed that society appears to agree. As if he has been obvious.

    Summary

    Colin prides himself on being a gentleman. He has practically ensured it. He does not kiss gently bred ladies in the cover of darkness in the gardens of a host or stow them away in his bedroom or ask them to steal away from their chaperones so that they might have a few moments alone to simply talk discuss subjects that might interest them both.

    But perhaps, not all of that is true.

    Or one small request from Penelope turns their worlds upside down; a Polin regency fake amnesia AU

    Summary

    The vest hung open.

    Penelope stood in front of the mirror holding the marigold loosely between her fingers.

    The girl in the mirror looked… different from the one she remembered.
    Softer in some places.

    Sharper in others.

    But undeniably real.

     
    Alive.

     
    Seven months ago, she would have picked the image apart immediately.

    But today something strange happened.

    She just looked.

    Before she could think about it too much, she raised the camera and took the picture.She opened the caption field.

     
    Typed slowly.

     
    Still here.

    Spring showed up anyway 🌼

    Then she pressed post.

     
    Notifications flooded the screen.

     The sunlight.

    The marigold.

    Penelope Featherington looking like some sort of modern Botticelli painting.

    “Oh my god.”

    "HELLO?????🤯🤯🥵"

    "WHEN DID WE START DOING RENAISSANCE PORTRAITS????!!!🤯🤯😻"

     
    The comment count kept rising.

     
    Thousands of strangers noticing her.

     
    Colin felt something sharp twist in his chest.

     
    He opened the comments.

     
    Immediately regretted it.

    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.
