Summary
It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.
It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.
“Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.
Colin throws back the last of his drink.
And Penelope moved on from him.
-
After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.
The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.

Summary
Because if her papa wasn’t a baron, she would never be able to live in Mayfair. If she didn’t live in Mayfair, she would have never knocked Colin off of his horse and if she never knocked Colin off his horse, she would have never fallen in love.
She could have only ever loved Colin. Even if she never met him, she would have never been in love and she loved being in love, even when she hated it. Even when it hurt and it felt like her heart was bleeding out like a spilled ink pot.
Penelope was made for Colin. Colin was made for the world.
She feared marriage would not change that.
-
After the Butterfly Ball, Penelope is plagued by insecurities. Colin, as the product of a happy marriage, never expected her to feel this way.

Summary
It was one of those situations.
The kind where it was going to be a one time thing, and then every time after the first time was just one more time until they’d lost track of how many one times it had been.
They’d broken up for a good reason. They’d thought that then, and they still thought so now. At least most of the time. It only slipped out of her head when Penelope was two gin and tonics in and she was once again ready to convince herself that she could hook up with Colin and not be in love with him (she couldn’t, but, oh, how she tried).
Or, a second chance modern Polin romance

Summary
He cleared his throat, hoping to brush off the entire conversation. Unable to help himself, he looked back in the direction of Penelope and Debling, watching as they shared a drink without ever breaking eye contact.
It reminded him of their practice in Bridgerton House, and he wished he could take back any and all lessons he had impressed upon her with an intensity that surprised even him. The idea that she might one day find someone to marry filled him with dread and anxiety the likes of which he had never experienced. The idea that she might have already found that someone to marry made him want to empty the contents of his stomach in despair.
What if Colin had gotten the courage to ask then and there?
And actually asked.
