Summary
“I’m here now” Colin insisted, wondering where Penelope’s complaints were coming from. Of course, he knew he had missed things like premieres and parties, but only because he was working. He had always thought she understood that “I’m sorry that I missed all those things, Pen, but I am here now”
“For how long, Colin?”
“I don’t know, a month or two”
“That’s not long enough for me” Penelope admitted, “I know you care about your job, and it’s wonderful, but it has left me not feeling cared for lately, and I’m sorry to say that I can’t let it continue. Texts and calls and postcards are no replacement for having you here, and I could never make you choose between me or your job”
“You’re not making a lot of sense right now, Penelope”
“I’m so sorry, Colin, but I’m breaking up with you”

Summary
Penelope meets someone from Colin's past and her old insecurities crop up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At that exact moment, Colin wished he had a time machine. A trick, a spell, a magic hat to take him into the past. To force his younger self to realize that the woman of his dreams had been looking at him from the sidelines of every ballroom he attended. To find a way, any way to stop her from aligning her opinion of herself to the opinion the ton had created. But mostly, he wished he could go back in time and give his wife the due attention she deserves from him all those years. All those years when she watched him leave over and over again. All those years when she affirmed to herself that he’d never want her, never love her. All those years when she knew he’d never marry her after he idiotically yelled it out for all and sundry to hear.All those years when she loved him silently. Without expecting anything in return.
But he had no trick, no spell, no magic hat. All he had was here and now. All he had was his undying love for her.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton was not a fool, despite what his siblings might think. Nor was he merely a charming and handsome darling, as Lady Whistledown had labeled him in the past. No, Colin Bridgerton was well-read and well-educated, and he was observant, even though his current predicament required no real outlay of any of these qualities.
Colin Bridgerton knew he had fallen out of favor with Penelope Featherington.
Watch as Colin Bridgerton goes to increasingly mad lengths to keep Penelope Featherington safe and sound (and away from other suitors).

Summary
Colin felt his stomach drop.
“Penelope,” he croaked out. “I was simply joking – I-I mean to say, it was nothing but gentlemen teasing each other-“
“And yet you thought it appropriate to condemn me to an unmarriageable status.” She continued harshly, mouth twisting up into a sneer. “You thought it acceptable that a man in your position, a part of the most influential family amongst the ton, should declare a young woman so unworthy of marriage that the thought itself was simply amusing. That to ensure that no bachelor would dare to be seen pursuing me and therefore sentence me to a life of a spinster. That is what you thought it fair to do.”
******
Somehow, Colin has seriously, completely, messed up.His best friend, his only real friend, is furious with him and he doesn't know how to fix this. How can you undo the kind of mistake he had made? How can you redeem yourself to a woman like Penelope Featherington? How can you tell her that you might actually love her instead?
Colin had a feeling this was not going to be easy.

‘I beg your pardon?’ he said.

Although Colin sends letters like clockwork, he receives no reply from his friend, Penelope Featherington.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

But after nearly losing his best friend, Colin was determined to do everything in his might to keep Penelope in his life. Which proved to be more difficult than he had anticipated, as all of a sudden, everyone seemed to be rather determined to get between them.

Or so she thought.

Summary
“When I first saw you, I knew if I took your photograph, my work would be complete. I would finally feel like I’d shot the perfect frame. I knew if I took your photograph, I would never want to take another one for as long as I lived.” Eve said, fingertips tracing a line from Villanelle’s temple to her angled jawline.
Villanelle smiled softly, her blinking slow in her post-coital haze. “When I first saw you, I thought... what a bitch.”
