    When a dinner conversation drifts toward memories of the late Viscount, Colin grows quiet and Penelope begins to suspect that her husband’s silence hides something far deeper.

    Summary

    When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?

    But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington meets Colin Bridgerton on an ordinary Sunday afternoon, parting with the promise to see him again and filled with hope for the future. But after tragedy strikes, everything changes, and Penelope and her family unexpectedly find themselves in the midst of the Bridgerton family, who accept them with open arms and open hearts. The question is - will Penelope allow herself to be loved and taken care of in the way she's only ever dreamed of, or will the guilt she feels for moving forward lead to more than just her own broken heart?

    Summary

    Sometimes she wonders what people would say if they knew that Penelope Featherington was Colin Bridgerton's booty call. Felicity would probably spin it into some grand adventure, casting Penelope as the lonely figure stood on some moonlight shore as she waited for her lover to return. Eloise would undoubtedly be violently sick and then call her an idiot... and Penelope, well Penelope could hardly believe it herself.

    It has to stop though.

    It has to.

    Summary

    After turning thirty, Penelope decides she's done waiting for the perfect man and wants to be a mother. With the help of an esteemed fertility clinic, she selects a sperm donor and gets pregnant on her own. Scared to deal with the judgement of others, she lies and says that her ex boyfriend who moved away is the father.

    Though she and Colin have drifted in recent months, when he finds out her news, he vows to support her and show up for her and her baby. Her feelings for him muddy the waters, and she does her best to keep him at arms length during such an emotional time.

    --

    It all started with a brochure. 

    When Philippa struggled to get pregnant with her second, she and Albion looked into every option they could think of. At another painful Featherington family tea, Portia rattled off a list of old wives tales of sex positions they could try, earning groans and gags from all four of her daughters. Penelope glanced at the table, where the brochure lay forgotten, the words “Mayfair Fertility Clinic and Sperm Bank” sprawled in elegant typeface across the front, as though it were a fine dining menu and not an institution where men jerked off into cups.
