    Summary

    When Penelope Featherington is dragged from her bed in the middle of the night, she’s told that her nom-de-plume has been uncovered. Not by the Queen as she’d feared, but by the men who murdered her father. There are debts to be paid far beyond her Whistledown earnings. Fortunately for Penelope, a mysterious figure from her past is set on protecting her at all costs.

    Summary

    As the sun began to set and braziers were lit across the square, a figure emerged from the Temple, carrying a large clay ewer. Colin could just see the gleam of red hair in the firelight as she passed by the alcove where he waited.

    “Pen!” he called out cautiously. The priestess froze, the ewer balanced on her shoulder, blocking her face from his view. “Pen, is that you?” he asked, hardly daring to believe it might be her—the girl he had played with as a child. The girl who had once been his dearest friend. And then she turned and he knew. It was her. Pen. His Pen. His Penelope.


    Childhood friends Penelope and Colin were separated when she was sent away at age fourteen to serve as a priestess in the Temple of Aphrodite. Years later, fate (and the gods) have reunited them—and Colin will go to any lengths necessary never to lose her again.

    Summary

    Colin has no memory of his life before the orphanage—and he prefers it that way. The past holds nothing for him; his future is all that matters. Smuggling contraband across the border of two warring nations is dangerous, but it’s the fastest way to earn enough gold to escape the city with his closest friend, Penelope.

    But when Penelope’s hidden past comes crashing into their carefully built lives, the two are forced to flee—and straight into the hands of the Bridgerton royal family. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Colin must confront a past he thought he could outrun, and a destiny he never chose.

    Summary

    “This is my fault,” the Viscount said. “I should have taken him to a brothel long ago.” He gulped down his drink. “I should take him now.”

     

    “What use would it have?” Benedict asked. “He’s already engaged, he’d reject the offer in favour of his beloved fiancé.”

     

    “Beloved?” Anthony laughed humorlessly. “He’s too green. I bet you all it’d take for him to abandon this nonsense is to find a willing girl to wet his wick with.”

     

    “What does that mean?” Penelope asked. She did not mean to, but the prospect of Colin saving himself from entrapment prompted her to blurt the question out.

     

    After accidently hearing a rather crude declaration from Colin's older brother, Penelope decides to put the put it to the test.

    Summary

    He shook his head and groaned. The last thing he needed was to think about his ex with another man, being all happy and lovey dovey and downright disgustingly in love.

    Because that used to be them.

    For a year and a half, it was them. They were so, so, very disgustingly in love as pointed out multiple times by his siblings any chance they got. Not that Colin had ever minded. He was pleased to show off how much he loved her, cherished her. That was until it all ended one night with four words that still haunted him in his nightmares.

    “We want different things.”

    Or Colin and Penelope break up because of a misunderstanding and they try to deal with the aftermath.

    (It’s also them figuring things out and inching back together.)

    Summary

    Two strangers. One room. Fifty days. No stimuli. £5 million.

    A desperate Penelope enters a study to win £5 million. All she has to do is stay in a stark-white, nearly empty room for fifty days with another person. No technology, no books, no games, no anything. Nothing but a bed, a bathroom, and a person she’s never met for almost two months.

    It seems easy enough, until she steps out of the elevator and sees that her partner is anything but a stranger, and this study is anything but ordinary.

    Summary

    Colin knows that touch has always been something he just does. Touching for touching’s sake, nothing more, for friendship, for comfort, to show affection - it's always been something he’s good at. Something he does and something he seeks out. Considering he knows this and does this, it takes him an embarrassingly long time to realize that Penelope, well, doesn’t.

    Or,

    Colin Bridgerton is what you might call a touchy person. And this makes Penelope Featherington’s brain short circuit with anxiety, all while trying to avoid the fact that she desperately wants to be touched.

    A story in eighteen parts about how Colin and Penelope learn to hold each other, and fall in love in the process.

    Summary

    In that split second between handing her the oxygen and pushing the button, he can’t help but smile. She’s a mess–her face is salty with sweat and tears, dried blood matting her hairline where she’d hit her head on impact. But she’s strong. And she’s alive. And Colin will stop at nothing to make sure she stays that way. At the very least, he gets to die trying.

    He wonders, then, about what he’ll become after this. In what form will his atoms take shape next? As her favorite flower? A pet she’ll find on the sidewalk? A specimen under her microscope? Whatever it may be, he knows it’s not a matter of if but when he finds his way back to her side. In every universe, every state of matter, Colin Bridgerton’s place is always next to Penelope Featherington.

    or, the Agents of SHIELD au no one asked for.

    Summary

    She made a little humming noise. “I am afraid, Sir Knight, that this is one danger you cannot wave your sword at. There is no escaping my marriage.”

    “Oh. That. Marriage is no danger.”

    She gave him a look of such sharpness that he felt himself wither. “You are a man. You do not have the first idea of the dangers marriage entails for women.” Her chin trembled though she held it aloft. “And you are a Knight Protector — you are not permitted to marry until after I am wed.”

    He opened his mouth to retort — but closed it quickly. She was, he supposed, right. In fact he could not imagine someone less suited to offer counsel on the subject than himself.

    “What is it that you fear?” he asked.

    She took a deep breath. “Cruelty. Neglect. Loneliness. A life spent in solitude and uselessness, my mind slowly disintegrating through lack of exertion. There is so much world out here, Colin, and I shall only ever see one tiny patch of it. I fear dying after a life only half-lived. I have dreams and ambitions and they shall never, ever be realised. So while I am able, I mean to live.”

You get to come to a ball like you have always dreamed of, and I get out of these pesky marriage plans.” He looked at her eagerly. “What do you think?”

     

    Penelope could only stare at him, dropping her hand from his grasp. “I think… that you are quite mad.”

     

    “It is the perfect plan!”

     

    “It is insane.”

     

    “Why?” the prince challenged. “Really, Pen, give me one good reason why it will not work.”

     

    “I can give you a hundred!”

     

    His lips quirked into an amused smile. “Well, perhaps, start with one and then we can work through the rest.”
