Summary
“Excuse me!” Kate called out, letting Newton run forward. “Sorry, excuse me!”
The man turned around in surprise, looking down the street after them. “Yes? Are you…? Being chased?”
Kate ignored how the gravel of his seemed to echo through her. “We aren’t being chased. You are.”
He looked behind him and then down at Newton who was sniffing his immaculately polished shoe. “Who’s doing the chasing? Hello, doggy.”
There was something sort of sweet about that but Kate ignored that as well. “Do you like women?”
His eyes flashed to hers and a slow smile spread across his face. Making him seem even more handsome. “Oh, I love women.”
“And your name is?”
“Anthony, lovely to meet you.”
Kate nudged Sophie in front of her. “This is Sophie and we’re doing spontaneous blind dates to find the love of her life.”
Anthony’s eyes flashed to Sophie before they landed back on Kate. “No offence to Sophie, she seems lovely but I think I’d rather go on a blind date with you.”OR
Kate was trying to do a fun segment and ends up flirting with her polar opposite

Summary
Penelope Featherington, 32, is successful and living what most would call a good life. Yet her world still seems to orbit around her longtime neighbors—the Bridgertons—and her dearest friends, Eloise and Colin. After a revealing family dinner, Penelope begins to question the life she’s built. Has she spent too long defining herself by the people around her? Maybe it’s time to step out of their shadow and finally become her own person. This is a story of growth, self-discovery, redemption—and, of course, finding love along the way.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
“I do not know how to swim.”
The words come out in a rush, like a waterfall tumbling over rocks.
“No one knows,” Penelope adds miserably. “Not even Eloise.”
“I know, Pen,” Colin says, and his voice is as gentle as the lapping of water along the pond’s shore.
“H-how? All those summers we spent together. Why did you never say anything before?”
“Because you did not say anything, and I had no wish to embarrass or upset you. There is no shame, and it is never too late to learn.”
OR
Colin has been waiting for Penelope’s debut for years—finally, he will be able to court her properly. But when she flees the presentation hall, everything he hoped for shatters. One summer morning, a swimming lesson changes everything.

Summary
Every year, Colin and Penelope visit the same little Christmas market, and every year, they buy each other gifts there, going to greater and greater lengths each time to prevent the other from catching them in the act. This year, however, Colin is determined to make their first market together as Mr. and Mrs. Bridgerton something she will remember forever.
Just then, as though she can sense his presence, that invisible string that seems to stretch between them tugging at her attention, she looks up. And there’s that smile—the one that is only for him, that fills him with a sweet honeyed warmth even on this cold December evening.
He walks toward her, closing the distance between them in a few long strides and wrapping his arms around her, surrounding her with his embrace. She sighs happily and leans against him, her arms slipping around his neck.
“Good evening, Mr. Bridgerton,” she murmurs into his chest, her breath warm even through his coat.
He pulls back without breaking their embrace and gazes into those sapphire eyes before planting a gentle kiss on her lips and murmuring softly, “Good evening, Mrs. Bridgerton.”

Summary
The image of Colin so badly wounded is horrifying, and Penelope hears herself letting out a choked gasp when she finally manages to take a breath.
“Pen, hello,” Colin says from the chair near the entrance where his men have seated him, smiling through his pain. The kindness in his tone, despite how badly hurt he is, makes tears immediately spring to Penelope’s eyes. “I am fine,” he repeats, reaching with his good hand towards her.
It is not the first time Colin Bridgerton falls off a horse, but this time it is infinitely worse. His injuries not only put an early end to his travels, they also prevent him from doing barely anything. Colin is fortunate to spend his recovery at Aubrey Hall surrounded by his family and Penelope during the off-season, but soon, he gets tired of his boring reality. He is happy enough to spend time with his dear friend and family, but his brain is restless, and with that restlessness comes a memory: what was it that Penelope wanted to tell him right before he departed for his travels?

Summary
This dog was going to be the death of him. Colin Bridgerton adored his four-year-old Pyrenean Mountain Dog, adopted from a farmer he’d met on one of his many trips through the French countryside. The puppy wasn’t suited for livestock guardian work, the man had said. And Colin had taken one look at the precocious, stubborn pup and fallen in love. He’d cut his trip short, travelling back to London that weekend, the soft white and grey puppy asleep on the seat beside him on the train.
And now that puppy (more than tripled in size) was flopped down on the yellow blanket of some poor woman, drooling all over her. Colin slowed to a jog before coming to a halting stop a few feet away, breathing heavily.
“I am so sorry,” he panted, gulping in air. “He’s never run off like that before!”
He was so busy glaring at his damnable dog that he almost missed the flush that crept up the stranger’s cheeks. He froze. If he thought he’d been breathless before, it was nothing to how he felt now.
Colin's dog leads him to someone he never expected.

Summary
Colin knows that touch has always been something he just does. Touching for touching’s sake, nothing more, for friendship, for comfort, to show affection - it's always been something he’s good at. Something he does and something he seeks out. Considering he knows this and does this, it takes him an embarrassingly long time to realize that Penelope, well, doesn’t.
Or,
Colin Bridgerton is what you might call a touchy person. And this makes Penelope Featherington’s brain short circuit with anxiety, all while trying to avoid the fact that she desperately wants to be touched.
A story in eighteen parts about how Colin and Penelope learn to hold each other, and fall in love in the process.

Summary
She never felt this confident in a service before and slowly, she began to forget about that food critic and their remarks about her (wonderful) risotto. She wiped her hands on her apron, smiling as she looked around the kitchen.
That was, until she heard two of the servers whispering harshly to one another, rapid and urgent.
“You tell her.”
“No, you should do it. She likes you better.”
Or Penelope is the head chef of one of London's hottest new restaurants, Whistledown and Colin, well, he's the guy that doesn't like her risotto.
