    Summary

    “Woah there,” he says softly, one hand darting out to cup the bottom of her glass, the other softly encircling her wrist. “Careful, Penelope.”

    He says her name with a British accent but there is something American in the intonation, the way he goes up at the end. It is something Penelope has found herself doing from time to time here, her voice automatically mimicking those around her; she thought it signaled a certain weakness of character, as though she knows herself so little that even her voice cannot hold onto itself.

    But from him it just sounds… right.

    She likes how he says her name with such familiarity, even though they haven’t been introduced yet. He says it as if they’ve known each other for years.

    “This is Colin, obviously,” Eloise says and Penelope nods, unable to speak. He is tall and lithe and his hair falls in dark waves the same colour as Eloise’s. He’s wearing a white T-shirt tucked into high-waisted blue jeans, tan leather cowboy boots and there is a white Stetson perched atop his curls.

    Summary

    Never in his wildest fantasies did Colin Bridgerton think he'd be woken up at 5am the day he was due to fly out to Sri Lanka by Penelope Featherington begging him to take her with him.

    She was supposed to be celebrating her engagement, after all.

    Summary

    “Eddie’s been married once, and after Shannon asked him for a divorce and then died before they could do anything about it, he figured that was it for him. One marriage with all its ups and downs is enough for a lifetime.
    Granted, he didn’t think he’d fall in love with Buck and be lucky enough for that love to be returned.”

    OR

    Everyone seems to expect Eddie to propose to Buck any minute now, which is annoying because Eddie doesn’t want to get married again. He's sure of that. Or is he?
