    In a marriage shadowed by secrets, Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington's union is strained from the start. Despite his initial belief that love could bridge the emotional rift caused by her concealed past, Colin's feelings of betrayal and jealousy become insurmountable. Penelope, patient and hopeful, struggles to connect with him as the silence between them deepens. Colin’s sudden departure, leaving only a note behind, shatters the fragile bond they had.

As her pregnancy progresses, a chance encounter with Benedict Bridgerton forces Penelope to confront the painful truth of Colin’s abandonment.

    Summary

    “Wait, wait, wait. Do you need your marriage certificate to fill for divorce?” asks a very serious Colin all suddenly.

    “Yes, it’s one of the mandatory papers to present.”

    “So if there’s no certificate you can not do it?” He asks for confirmation with his eyes blinking really fast.

    That’s when Anthony realizes his brother brain—now full of alcohol—is paying attention in a way he normally only reserves for Penelope or food. But why is he fixating on this? And then he thinks, Oh, oh the idiot. Incredible how he’s a two times bestselling author and so gullible at the same time, but Anthony is going to have a bit of fun with this.

    Summary

    After a rather dramatic encounter at the end of the year, Colin Bridgerton rushes home from Greece to face his friend (and his feelings) as he fights to protect her from herself.

    Penelope Featherington, however, will do everything in her power to let her saviour know that she does not, in fact, need saving and would quite like for him to stop his meddling.

    The two come together through the 1814 Season to navigate business, a saviour complex, and the terrifying notion of telling your friend you are in love with them.

    Summary

    From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.

    This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.

    *CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*

    Ch 1 Preview:

    She was startled and looked up into his eyes for a moment, and then started giggling. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. It sounded like his mom’s wind chimes on the back porch, or the bells on the ice cream truck when it rounded the corner… but even more magical. He giggled back at her.

    “I’m Colin,” he said with a smile that he didn’t even have to try to make so big.

    “Penelope,” said the girl with the giggle that was now his favorite song.
