    Summary

    When Penelope wakes, blearily, she shifts to her opposite side in the uncomfortable hospital bed.

     

    She sees him there, in the same place he has been for the last several days, from the moment she first awoke.

     

    The man they say is her husband.

     

    She knows this man; she has known him nearly her whole life.

     

    But she does not know Colin Bridgerton as her husband.


    An accident steals five years of Penelope's memory, leaving her baffled and confused as she tries to adjust to the life that is, apparently, hers—a life she had once dreamed of, no less. Colin is Colin, taking care of her every need, but maintaining a careful distance that has her wondering how he fell in love with her in the first place. But as they navigate the strange new world they find themselves in, and as bits and pieces of Penelope's memory return, she learns how it feels to be truly and wholly loved by Colin Bridgerton.

    And how it feels to be betrayed by him.

    Summary

    Unfortunately, no one believes them. Not when their families keep stumbling upon increasingly contradictory evidence that suggests these two have a very different understanding of what a breakup is supposed to look like.

    Summary

    “Dearest,” his mother’s voice comes out a little louder. The hand on his arm squeezes in emphasis. Colin drags his eyes away from the beautiful vision of his fiancée— his fiancée! — and looks towards his mother.

    “I got Humboldt to fetch you a cravat. I thought you might want to be fully dressed before we escort Miss Featherington home.” His mother presses a plain white scrap of cloth into Colin’s limp hand.

    “Home?” Colin inquires, at a complete loss to his mother’s meaning. Penelope is home. He already escorted her up from the street and into Bridgerton House. Pen's cloak is already settled in the closet amongst their own.

    OR

    A tiny introspective about what occurs after Colin announces his engagement to his family in the Bridgerton drawing room. In which he is mostly being a pouty loverboi about having to say goodbye to Pen.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington thought she had left everything behind. After fleeing London aboard a ship bound for Greece, the last person she expected to encounter was Colin himself. Cold words, wounded hearts, and unspoken truths accompany them across the sea as they struggle through an awkward and painful voyage. 🚢

    When a violent storm tears their ship apart, Penelope and Colin find themselves stranded on a deserted island with only a few salvaged supplies... and a baby depending on them for survival. ⛈️🌊👶 Far from society, titles, expectations, and scandal sheets, survival becomes their first priority. Finding food. Building shelter. Protecting the child in their care. 🏕️🔥🍃

    Yet the greatest challenge may not be the island itself. Penelope must decide whether she can ever forgive the man who broke her heart... while Colin begins to realize that losing her might be the greatest mistake of his life. ❤️‍🩹

    Lost at sea. Alone in the world. And trapped with the one person they cannot escape.
    Will they find their way back home... or discover that home was never a place at all? 🌅💛🏝️
