    Summary

    Colin is a 47 year old divorcee living in London with a long list of failed relationships and his current relationship is circling the drain.

    This year he was chosen to be the gala chair and host for the Bridgerton charity gala. The biggest social event in London every year.

    His best mate and honorary brother James is bringing his new girl to the gala and along for a couples getaway week to the Bridgerton estate. No one is shocked more than Colin that his playboy friend is finally serious about a woman.

    When he walks into the ballroom he is confused when he spots a young redhead hovering around his family's gala table. And even more confused when he shakes her hand and she is introduced as his best mate's new girl.

    Summary

    It was meant to be a playful pre-party setup.
    Cocktails, feathers, maybe a few blushes.
    Penelope never expected Colin Bridgerton to unravel at the sight of her lingerie-themed product launch—or for the truth about her decade-long crush to come tumbling out alongside half the vibrator stock.
    And Colin?
    Well… he’s about to realize his best friend is a temptation he can’t resist.

    Summary

    Penelope knew the truth of her malady—call it hysteria or some other pretty name—she was lonesome. Her life was monotonous and dull, devoid of color. She had already reached out with both hands and grabbed for what little she was permitted to have and even some she wasn’t—balls, social events, a friendship with Eloise, Whistledown, independence. None of those erased the pain of a decade of being found wanting by the very men she was reared and raised to attract and serve. Dreams of being a wife and mother dying and curling into ash with every passing season.

    There had to be more and yet all she found behind it was melancholy. She knew it wasn’t something that country air would fix. Country house parties had plenty of fresh air but didn’t shift her mood. Instead, she just found herself looking into her future and saw… bleak nothingness.

    So yes, she knew she had to do something if she were to survive. Perhaps treatment for hysteria was the answer and Colin, it seemed, held the cure.

    Summary

    Just one kiss.

    The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.

    It does not have to mean anything.

    Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.

    And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.

    They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—

    After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.
