    Summary

    “You earnestly believe you can trick me into loving you in three months? Mr. Bridgerton, this shall be the easiest-won wager any woman has ever known.”

    Colin chuckles. “I believe,” he says, “I can do it in one. The latter two shall be enjoyed as our honeymoon.”

    Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton haven’t properly seen each other in years.

    Now, they find themselves maneuvered into an arranged marriage neither of them wants.

    Penelope, sharp-tongued and self-possessed, has no intention of being anyone’s consolation prize. Colin, newly returned from the continent and having already insulted his bride, did not comprehend quite the little spitfire he'd been given.

    And so, a wager is struck: Three months to earn her regard, or surrender the match.

    "Soup can be sexy."
    "If you're given the right spoon!"

    Colin Bridgerton has always had a thing with spoons, and nobody seemed to notice.

    Summary

    Colin lifts his hand with the cigarette to his lips at the same that his eyes open, his head turns, and he first notices Penelope standing there watching him.

    "Fuck," he mutters before looking away from her and to the window. "I'm sorry."

    She isn't sure what he's apologizing for really—for smoking or fighting with Marina or maybe both. Regardless, it breaks a little part of her to see him looking so dejected and sad. There's a light missing from him, a weight pulling him down and making him seem smaller. It's not fair, though. He's so inherently good. He doesn't deserve to feel like this. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. He deserves—

    Penelope can't help but blink in surprise even at just the meandering path of her own thoughts, at the idea that just popped into her head about what exactly she thinks Colin Bridgerton deserves at this moment and what exactly she'd like to do to make him feel better. It's ridiculous, right? She shouldn't… She couldn't… But what if she did?

    Flatmates Penelope and Colin take a winding, complicated, messy path on their friends to lovers journey.

    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

    "Bet I could still catch you," he tells her and she glowers at him but he can see the little twitch in her pout. She wants to smile. He feels good. "Now, come on. Give me a hug. I haven't seen you in forever."

    As he wraps his arms around her, gathers all her plushness to his chest, his nose is filled with her scent.

    And Colin Bridgerton forgets the performance. Forgets that he has to be careful with her. Forgets that his family are about two feet away.

    Because she smells fucking divine. Not the right word, surely — too exalted for the earthiness, the rich salt that makes his jaw work and his tongue press to the roof of his mouth and his fingers dig into the rolls on her back. Does she always smell like this, he wonders — this dirty, bright and cloying — or did she just forget deodorant? He can't recall — can't recall anything, except the vivid musk of her, fresh and sweet like the cut stalks of flowers, sweat and tang and — fuck — he's hard. Hard and leaking, immediately and so profusely it kind of feels like he's pissed himself. Fuck. Fuck.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is an expert at being invisible. Deep in the throes of her PhD research, away from friends and family in a small Aberdeen attic, she has perfected the act of hiding her struggles from everyone. When a trip to London confirms her worst fears, she retreats to her cosy sanctuary, ready to let the world forget her entirely.
    But someone was paying closer attention than she realised.
    While everyone else accepted her polite texts and vague excuses, Colin Bridgerton noticed. Haunted by a moment of thoughtless betrayal and a sudden, terrifying need to bridge the distance between them, he follows her into the cold Scottish rain to join her under the rafters of her tiny attic.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope are cheating on their respective partners with each other and neither knows how to stop.

    --

    Colin's lips find her neck from behind as his hand trails down the front of her body. She grips the counter on either side of the sink, eyeing herself in the mirror. No words are exchanged. He looks up and catches her eye as his fingers dip below her knickers and swipe across her clit. It’s immediate ecstasy.

    A drug.

    An addiction.

    Colin rolls her sensitive nub lazily between his fingers for a few moments, checking to see how wet she is before she nods and he pushes back, fishing his wallet out of his back pocket, producing a condom. He’s gotten really good at refreshing his stash each time they used one, especially after one horrifying instance where he’d forgotten, and they’d had to resort to other tactics to satisfy them, lamenting the missed opportunity for him to fill her properly.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope had an unlikely friendship with a side of purely inquisitive, deeply scientific fascination. On Penelope's part anyway. It was just an infatuation. Because of course she hadn't fallen in love with him when she was eleven, or fifteen, or twenty-five.

    That would be ridiculous.

    They were just friends. That's how friends behave.

    Right?

    But what if the fabric of their being was tied to the other? And even after the first fracture they both held on? What if it all came down to timing?

    OR:

    Penelope thinks this is the closest she'll ever get to him.

    Colin thinks this is the closest she'll ever let him get.

    Summary

    Colin was on the end of his rope. It had been but five days since Penelope Featherington had flipped his world on its head and Colin couldn’t take it anymore.

    His days were filled with a manageable, distractible longing, but the nights were only becoming more and more unbearable. He couldn’t think of anything but the taste of her perfect soft lips, the gasp he swallowed, the way her fullness felt against him. He would’ve taken anything she gave him in that moment.

    OR Colin Bridgerton after he kissed Penelope cannot get her out of his head and acts on his deranged thoughts in the middle of the night by sneaking into her room.
