    Summary

    Colin is supposed to be abroad and drinking, touring, and perhaps even raking his way across the continent. Instead, he is stuck in England managing a modest yet still cumbersome country estate, grieving a recently deceased wife who apparently never loved him, and caring for a pair of newborn twin babies sired by a former lover of that same wife of his. He is trapped in a perpetual state of wretchedness as he tries to come to terms with so many seemingly insurmountable responsibilities before him. The only recent success comes in the form of a wet nurse he managed to hire. He is certain the disarming young redhead with abundant curves will be able to offer the babies the care and nourishment they so desperately require. With that rather significant concern off his plate, he expects he will be left with more time to wallow and slowly descend deeper into a state of despair in peace. He is not prepared, however, for that nurse’s unique brand of tenderness and care to extend beyond the twins, and he is certainly not prepared for the ways in which she just might be capable of healing his broken heart and soul.

    Summary

    “In fact, are you sure you wish to be caught conversing with me, Mr Bridgerton?” she asks. There is a tease in her voice, her eyes darting over to where Henry Granville is now half-laughing, half-shouting at Lady Danbury. She kisses the silver cigarette holder and his eyes are drawn to her mouth once more. “This is not the sort of room Bridgerton boys should be caught frequenting. Agatha might tell your mother.”

    He thinks it is a test.

    Well. He means to pass.

    He tilts his chin, and drags his eyes up from her mouth. “I am exactly where I wish to be, Penelope,” he says decisively.

    She smiles around the cigarette, smoke curling from the edges of her lips. He steps closer, and his heart is beating rather loudly.

    “And what of you?” he counters, lifting an eyebrow and darting his gaze behind her, the flock of crows hovering and flapping. “I would not wish to keep you from your admirers.”

    The blue starlight of her eyes meet his, direct and clear and bright. “I am exactly where I wish to be.”

    Summary

    She was the one who finally broke the silence, “Will you go back to New York after the cruise?”

    Colin met her eyes. “No, I’m coming back here.”

    “Until the wedding?”

    “For as long as it takes.”

    She cleared her throat. “For as long as what takes?”

    “For as long as it takes to convince you to give us another chance,” Colin spoke slowly, clearly, watching her closely for a reaction, “or to convince myself that you really don’t love me anymore.”

    Summary

    “Coooliiiiinnnnn,” she giggles. “I am in your head, Colin. You will do whatever I say,” more giggles, “now, buy me some of that candyfloss.”

    He’s so glad he insisted that Penelope be his woman in the van for this surveillance operation because these little giggles right in his ear are the greatest sounds he’s ever heard.

    “We’re professionals, Pen,” he says but is clearly giggling too. “And of course I will do whatever you say, but you know you don’t need to be in my head for that.”

    “Hhhmmmmmmm, interesting,” she says in a low sultry voice.

    OK, that was the greatest sound he’s ever heard. Fuck, that was sexy!

    Colin, stop it!... this is not the time or the place for your insane thoughts. She... is... not… interested… in… you! She’s going on a date with Debling TONIGHT! Now get your bloody head in the game. We've got a drug lord to catch.

    Summary

    "I want you to marry me," he continues, voice cracking. "I love you so much and—actually, I think you love me too." His eyes stay on hers. "Do you?"

    She's frozen. Her mouth opens. Then closes. Then opens again.

    Finally, she speaks. "Are you serious right now?"

    He nods. "If you love me, Penelope…" he swallows, reaching his hand out to her. "Then just take my hand and walk out of here with me."

    The one where Colin Bridgerton literally stands up during Penelope Featherington's wedding and ruins it.

    Summary

    A pile of boy and broomstick lay on the street’s cobbles, deposited squarely on top of her new hat. The boy bit of the pile groaned as he levered himself to his feet. He rubbed a hand through his chestnut curls, both in embarrassment and in an anxious check for spillage.

    Another boy, still sat on a broomstick hovering a foot from the ground, was in hysterics.

    “Nice one Bridgerton!” he wept.

    The first boy grimaced, but his green eyes still sparkled with humour. “Enough, Cedric,” he mumbled, then reached down and picked up Penelope’s hat. He dusted it down with his even dustier hands, then paused and abashedly handed it back to her before he could cause any further damage.

    “Sorry, that wasn’t very well done of me, was it?” He gave her a sheepish lopsided smile.

    It was in that moment, at eleven-years-old, as she took back her dusty new hat with shaky fingers, that Penelope Featherington fell in love.

    OR

    How you blinked and missed our favourite Featherington lurking with her quill in the background of the HP series…

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington left everything behind to become an actress and singer. Now, at 24 years old, she’s living what she always dreamed of: she’s booked, busy and loves her job. But her soul longs for what she had before, a simpler, lovely life instead of the extravagant lifestyle of a celebrity.

    What will happen when she meets Formula 1’s new rising star, Colin Bridgerton?

    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

    Truthfully, Colin would have loved to give Agatha a little sister but there was one tiny, minuscule complication.

    A very, very small one really.

    (It was not, in fact, small.)

    He and Penelope weren’t married. They weren’t even a couple. They had never been in that type of relationship.

    Or the one where Agatha Bridgerton won't stop asking her unmarried parents for a baby sister.

    Penelope turns to him. “What’s so important it can’t wait till we go inside?”

    “I–um,” he starts, debating if he should tell her. “I’m Spider-Man.”

    She blinks. “Spider-Man? Like…the Spider-Man? The guy on the TV, swinging around the city? Fighting all those bad guys in that suit?”

    The one where Colin Bridgerton is Spider-Man.

    Summary

    Penelope needs a date to her ex boyfriend, Alfie Debling's wedding. She thinks asking Colin to pretend to be her date for the evening could be the best, or more likely, the worst, idea she's ever had.

    Colin just wonders how on earth he's going to get through the evening when pretending is the last thing he wants to be doing when it comes to Penelope.

    From the prompt - "My ex just invited me to their wedding and I need you to be my date so it doesn’t look like I’ve spent the last few years failing to get over them."

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton's days of being an aimless wanderer come to an abrupt end when he's arrested for accidentally bringing a tiny, minuscule, hardly-noticeable-but-definitely-illegal amount of drugs into the country on a flight back to London. When Penelope Featherington bails him out and offers him a place to stay, he begins to see her - and himself - in an entirely new light.

    With his passport seized and nowhere else to go, he can't run from his feelings when he's forced to stay still.

    Summary

    "Apparently she's into bad boys now."

    He could remember the exact moment that phrase caught in his throat, how he coughed slightly, coffee splattering.

    "Bad boys?"

    “The whole deal, sexy. Leather jacket, rule breaker, brooding eyes, possibly owns a motorcycle.”

    “Oh, that is interesting."

    It wasn't interesting. It was catastrophic.

    Colin Bridgerton is hopelessly in love with his best friend Penelope Featherington. He's spent years trying and failing to confess his feelings.

    What if he gets a piece of intel from Eloise, his sister and her other best friend – Penelope has a thing for bad boys.

    Desperate for a new approach, Colin enlists the help of his partners-in-crime Michaela and Phillip to transform him into ‘The Ultimate bad boy’.

    And chaos ensues!!
