Summary
Penelope has accidentally joined a cult.
A hapless, bumbling family cult that has her tied up as a “virgin” sacrifice to a demon.
Never mind that she’s neither a virgin nor remotely devout: they insist she’s the chosen one.
But the real surprise isn’t the ritual; it’s Colin, a shy, awkward demon who might be the least terrifying thing about this whole fiasco.

Summary
AU: Penelope's out of options. Her novel’s not coming along like she‘d planned. She‘s working part time at a coffee shop and she‘s been looking for an apartment for ages but can't find anything. So when Colin, her best friend's brother and the one guy she's been in love with for years, offers her a room in his flat she accepts.
Colin loves taking photographs, especially on his travels. But there‘s more he wants in life. More he needs. He just doesn‘t know what it is. Until a redhead moves in with him and things start to change.
The friends to lovers/forced proximity AU you didn't know you needed.P.S. Yes, the title refers to the Taylor Swift song but I promise this story will have a happy ending.

Summary
Glancing through the spyhole, Colin was pleasantly surprised to see his sweet, pint-sized neighbor standing outside his door holding a takeaway box. He quickly unlocked the deadbolt and the front door, giving her a smile as he briefly drank in the sight of her.
Dressed down in a white knit cardigan over a loose faded shirt and leggings, her hair twisted up into a messy half bun, Penelope looked… different in a way, but still as charming as ever.

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.
.OR: post-divorce, Colin Bridgerton takes his friend Penelope on a road trip to Italy
