Summary
“The columnist who writes the Love and Sex column has had a medical emergency,” Penelope explains as she takes a fortifying sip of wine. “They want me to take over writing the column for her for an indefinite amount of time while she recovers.”
Francesca gives Penelope an appraising look. “You’re nervous about this? Why?”
“I suppose it’s two things,” Penelope says, looking into the middle distance between her friends. “First, it’s a lot of work.”
“You’ve never been afraid of hard work, Pen,” Eloise offers.
“Thank you, but second, and probably more importantly, I don’t think I have the requisite experience to do it well.”
“Why? You’re a great writer,” Colin says from the corner where he’s been uncharacteristically quiet all night.
Penelope feels herself flame red. “It’s not my writing that’s the issue.”

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
It was the lightest of grazes from his fingertips – barely a touch at all.
But her nerve endings sparkled into life with a ripple of electricity that raced across her skin. It twinged in her nipples and between her legs. Her breath hitched and she was grateful her face was hidden in the headrest, so he couldn’t see it slacken.
It was then she realised it wasn’t his reaction to her body she should be worried about. It was her body’s reaction to him.
When her usual therapist is off sick, Penelope discovers the exquisite torture of being massaged by Colin Bridgerton
Spoiler: he's good with his hands

Summary
It's exhausting, honestly. Loving someone this much.
Six months of silence, and then Aubrey Hall.
Penelope and Colin are thrown back into each other’s orbit for Kate and Anthony’s wedding, with too much history and not nearly enough distance. Tension simmers, old wounds resurface, and neither of them is as unaffected as they’d like to be.
