Summary
“Penelope”, Colin Bridgerton in the flesh is standing right in front of her, looking as distraught as she feels. The man is wearing what she imagines are his travel clothes, sweat all over his face, and keeps clutching at her for dear life. He made it to the wedding, after all.
“What are you…” she starts asking, but is quickly interrupted by her friend.
“Pass out, Pen. An unconscious bride can’t get married”, he instructs, eyes boring into her with a fierceness she’s never seen before, arms holding her steady as if saying “I’ll catch you. Let go”.

Summary
Colin thought he was doing a nice thing. He thought he was being a good friend. He thought Pen would be lonely on her impulsive trip to Ibiza after her dud of a fiancee broke up with her. He thought she'd appreciate his company and that he dropped everything he was doing in New York to spend the week with her and help her have a little fun. What he hadn't spent much time thinking about, however, were his best friend's honest motivations for this solo holiday…

Or, Penelope goes to Ibiza to get laid after ending her engagement and Colin unknowingly accompanies her to fulfill that goal and much, much more.

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.

Summary
When Penelope Featherington’s debut manuscript is threatened by a malicious claim of stolen authorship, she needs to get to New York before the publisher walks away from the book she has spent years building.
The problem: a brutal weather system has grounded most flights out of London.
The worse problem: the only person who can get her there is Colin Bridgerton, her former best friend, long-haul pilot, and the man she has spent the last year trying very hard not to love after overhearing exactly what he thought of her before he left for Athens.
Forced into close quarters above the Atlantic and then into one rain-soaked New York hotel room, Penelope and Colin are finally left with nowhere to hide from the wreckage of their friendship—or the truth of what has always been between them.
Or: Colin is a pilot (because there's just not enough of it here), and Penelope is her usual brilliant self.
