    Summary

    Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).

    He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.

    Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.

    Summary

    “This is…a bingo board,” Colin said slowly. He enjoyed the colouring—blue and yellow, somewhat complimentary, with black and cursive writing—appreciative of Penelope for taking the time to create such a thing, despite not knowing what it was supposed to represent or make him feel better.

    “A sex bingo board,” she corrected, her heart pounding out of her chest in anticipation of his reaction, and by the looks of it, he was utterly confused.

    Summary

    [PODFIC]

    “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

    What began as whispers among the ton — rumors of a grand matchmaking ceremony decreed by the Queen — soon became reality. No one could predict who would be bound together under Her Majesty’s watchful eye, and Penelope Featherington dreaded the outcome as much as Colin Bridgerton resented the intrusion.

    When the night arrived, Penelope’s worst fears seemed inevitable… until the herald called Colin’s name, followed by hers. Stunned into disbelief, she could scarcely move until Lady Bridgerton urged her forward. Colin, already at her side, gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and stepped boldly before the throne — a silent promise that whatever came of this, she would not face it alone.

    From that moment, their bond shifted. Yet in the quiet of his own chamber, Colin’s thoughts betrayed him. He imagined what it would mean to cross that final boundary. To see Penelope not just as his dearest friend, but as his wife in every sense. The thought unsettled him, even as it stirred a desire he could no longer ignore.
