Summary
Penelope Featherington is bound and determined to get over Colin Bridgerton after overhearing him laughing about her with her cousin. She thinks she’s done a pretty great job thus far. She has a job she loves, friends she adores and a respectable boyfriend – all whilst keeping Colin at arm’s length.
It isn’t until Debling’s dark secret is exposed for the world (and the tabloids) to see that she begins to realise that maybe her resistance is futile. Especially when Colin is so set on supporting her through the worst time in her life. Will she be able to get through this whilst also keeping her already battered heart protected?

Summary
2022 - Colin and Penelope share travel, drafts of their writing projects, a London flat, and a bed. Their relationship is perfect, just the way it is. He thinks, anyway. So when Pen tells him everything is about to change, his initial reaction…isn’t great.
1815 - Colin’s relationship with Penelope was perfectly fine. Until she overheard some truly unkind words he uttered to some gentlemen in attendance at the Featherington Ball. Now he fears he’s ruined the most important friendship he’s ever had.
Neither Colin is thrilled with his circumstance at the moment, but it’s about to get a lot worse. Modern Colin is about to wake up in Regency Colin’s time and place, and vice versa. Let’s see how they do trying to clean up each other’s messes… Or will they somehow manage to make everything worse?

Summary
“It’s not as though you are in love with Penelope,” Eloise says.
She catches the tiny change in Colin's expression: a barely there wince. It takes her a moment to grasp the implications of it.
“Oh,” she whispers.
—
“It’s not as if you would actually wish for Colin to court you, so his words from last season need not signify,” Eloise says.
Penelope cringes.
“Oh,” Eloise says. Again.
—
In which Penelope resolves to keep her friendship with Colin perfectly proper, Colin attempts to truly know Penelope, and Eloise knows everything.
