    Summary

    Colin can still remember what Penelope’s handwriting looked like when she was a little kid.

    He had spent years getting lost in the large loops of her handwriting, bubbly and sweet, with long curls on lowercase G and Y, the spidery lines on uppercase F and E, the little tail on the letter R that he could never be bothered to complete. The people in the queue with him are chattering excitedly about how obsessed they are with the new P. Featherington book, the cute picture of her cat on her Instagram, the TikTok she posted of her making homemade strawberry ice cream, and Colin can’t stop wondering if a single one of them has any idea what her handwriting looked like when she was young.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has been trying to get over her crush on her best friend Colin Bridgerton for the last several years. It should be pretty easy to do considering he spends the vast majority of his time away from London and in far off corners of the world as part of his travel writing and social media enterprises. He’s never around and she only sees him a couple of times a year at most. However, it turns out her problem in being unable to get over him has nothing to do with how often she spends time with him in-person. Her problem is the telephone.

    --

    Or, the one where Penelope and Colin start having phone sex as “friends.”

    Summary

    The Selkie was a rough old pub, only a stone's throw from east London's best brothels and the working men they both served. There wasn't anywhere quite like it though, not with Charlotte running the place and seizing every opportunity she could get - even if it meant making deals with a gangster and setting his favourite barmaid in his sights to keep him sweet.

    Penelope had always been taught the Devil would have a handsome face - what she wasn't prepared for is for him to be a gentleman as well.

    What does a poor working girl do when a dangerous man offers her what none ever has before: safety.
