    Summary

    In her fourth year teaching kindergarten, Miss Penelope Featherington thinks she’s seen it all—identical twins who wore matching outfits every day and were impossible to tell apart, a little boy who only talked about himself in the third person, a girl who managed to find a pair of scissors in the cafeteria and cut essentially all her hair off… This year, though, Chloe Bridgerton catches her by surprise. She’s never met a child who so immediately captured her heart. Chloe’s not the only Bridgerton pulling on her heartstrings either. Her “easy on the eyes,” charming father Colin captures her attention in an entirely different way. She’s never had a hard time remaining professional with her students’ parents in the past, but this man might just test every rule and guideline she tries to live her life by—both within the walls of her classroom and outside it too. To make matters more complicated, sweet little Chloe seems determined to become a successful matchmaker on her very first try.

    --

    Or, the one where Pen is a kindergarten teacher, Colin is a single Dad, and they fall in love in part thanks to the meddling of a very special little girl.

    Summary

    “Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”

    Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.

    He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”

    Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.

    Summary

    If he took even one wrong step with Pen and got her into that place in his life, he would ruin it and that was simply not worth it. This was what he had decided for himself. The role she played in his life. He loved her and she was precious and he would never touch her because everything he touched turned to fucking dust in his hands in the end.

    Only… only for the longest time, he had not thought about this at all. He had simply once decided on it firmly and then the rest had been passing thoughts and fleeting half-boners. Yet now he thought of nothing else. It was her fault. If she hadn’t brought up having a baby with him, he wouldn’t be in this state now, he knew it.
