Summary
Colin met her eyes across the room, and from there he was done. She’d been in his family’s orbit for years, Eloise’s best friend that somehow became his over time. They’d hung out, the three of them, then slowly just the two of them were watching movies together, going out for dinner, even having sleepovers (in separate rooms of course).
This night was different, and he didn’t know why…
*******
OR Colin finally acts on his feelings for Penelope, even with his whole family downstairs.

Summary
On the day of his thirtieth birthday, Colin Bridgerton wasn't sure if he wanted to renew his contracts and continue to travel the world or to finally settle back in London to keep his family and friends happy. However, the decision grows obvious when he overhears his friend Penelope say that, even though some new "penguin fucker" named Alfred is giving her the best orgasms of her life, she still feels like she has to settle while dating.
And, well, Colin refuses to let his best friend "settle" for anything.

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
