Summary
NOW COMPLETE!
Colin:
Am I stalking my neighbor Penelope? Yes. Is that necessarily a bad thing? Surely not. Look, I realize it sounds bad, okay? But I take care of Penelope's problems whenever they arise. Just look at her ex-boyfriend, for example. He was trouble. Now he’s not around anymore. See? I solve problems. Whenever Penelope needs help, I’ll be there for her. It’s just who I am. Besides, if you aren’t obsessed with the one you love, are you even in love?Penelope:
Someone is stalking me. I can’t figure out who it is, but I know they’re out there. And the worst part is, now they’re after my sweet neighbor Colin. I’ve accidentally dragged him into my dark web of true crime and sleuthing, and now he’s in danger. It’s a good thing I can keep him close. And not because of his gorgeous eyes and hard body. No, it’s because I want to keep him alive. After all, I have a stalker, and I can’t let Colin be their next victim.- Language:

Summary
Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).
He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.
Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.
.OR: post-divorce, Colin Bridgerton takes his friend Penelope on a road trip to Italy

Summary
After Penelope falls out with Eloise over her popular gossip blog, all the Bridgertons cut contact with her. It's the worst thing that has ever happened to her, but after a few months of wallowing, Penelope moves to Scotland and buys a book shop and gets on with her life. It turns out she can live without the Bridgertons and she's happy enough with the new life she's cobbled together. No one knows anything about her here and that's how she likes it: complete and total separation from her life back in London and her old online persona.
That is, until she spots Colin Bridgerton at the coffee shop next door.
