Summary
“Penelope.”
He means it as a question; he truly does, but his voice cracks along the syllables and then, suddenly, she is leaning into him, her free hand coming up to his chest, fingers curling in the lapel of his waistcoat. He feels whiplashed, racing thoughts subsiding entirely as her mouth grazes his. Her lips are soft and warm, tasting of port and berries, and he sighs without meaning to, but does not move.
He should, he knows. Should do something, say something, but his mind is blissfully blank, and his lips now taste of berries, and this is Penelope, Pen, and that single fact seems to erase all else. For there is nothing but the heat of her, and the pressure of her mouth, and the impossible fact of Penelope Featherington—his Pen—is kissing him. And beneath the shock, beneath all of it, is something bright and startled that feels terrifyingly like delight.
Wherein a little tincture handcrafted by Hyacinth with some... generous measurements leads to one ruinous night.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is tired of traveling, and tired of his family leaving him behind. With no family properties left and a deep urge to settle down, he buys an old manor in Wales, intent on fixing it and making it a home.
The estate was built in the 1700s, and has none of the conveniences he expects—including most of a roof. The villagers are wary of this new presence, but Colin is determined to show them he is capable of hard work.
But when something makes itself known in the house, he cannot resist the temptation of the dark.

Summary
Penelope, an editor in Bloomsbury, has spent weeks on her sofa since the wedding that never happened, avoiding a manuscript she can no longer read and friends who finally install a dating app on her phone. Colin, a photographer just back from Ushuaia and fully intending to leave again, wants the same thing she does. Six weeks. No strings, no promises, no future. They write it all down in a contract: twelve clauses, including never looking each other up online. They text under pseudonyms, write to each other at dawn, and discover they are far better at keeping the rules than at not getting attached.
Contemporary AU, with one struggling houseplant, a family with opinions about everything, and a great deal of lavender.

Summary
"I am sure you do, baby," he gives her a smirk. "What do you think you're gonna do with him? Marry him and give him lots of babies?"
"Mhmm," she mumbles, biting down on her bottom lip as she stares into his eyes.
It's the way he looks at her, the instant jealousy that seems to consume him. Or maybe it's what she wants to think he is consumed with. That he's so jealous that this could be a reality for her. That she could really marry Conner after all this.
The one where Penelope Featherington fucks her boyfriend's dad, Colin Bridgerton.
