    Summary

    “Hey,” Colin said sheepishly, anxiously brushing his hand behind his neck. “I’ll take your virginity if — you know — if you want me to.”

    Platonic sex, sex between friends, friends having platonic sex.

    It won’t be a problem, right?

     

    Or the classic: ‘I’ll take your virginity but don’t fall in love with me” finds everything they’re looking for in a person who ‘just wants to get over with having sex for the first time so they can get over the mental hurdle and start dating around.”

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is a rather popular travel influencer on Instagram and contributor to GQ magazine. He goes home for the holidays to visit his family after a particularly long stretch abroad. Somehow, he ends up going on an all-expenses paid trip to a little slice of heaven in the Caribbean with his best friend, Penelope Featherington. He’s not used to traveling with another person, but he finds himself rather looking forward to the time away with her even if he’s not sure what to expect. He expects it will all go according to plan. What could possibly go wrong when embarking on a trip with your best friend after all?

    Penelope works in a junior position at a publishing house in London, scraping her way financially through young adulthood. She’s also doing her best to get over her decade plus long infatuation with her best friend Eloise Bridgerton’s older brother Colin. Somehow, she finds herself agreeing to accompany him on a trip to Turks and Caicos after the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t know how she’ll manage it, but Penelope is determined to ensure this trip goes smoothly and that she doesn’t let her heart get ahead of her brain. She and Colin will never be together romantically. Not in a million years.

    Summary

    Penelope and Colin had a falling out years ago.

    Does she still love him? Yes. Is she doing her best to forget him? Absolutely (if you don't count that *one* thing).

    He's been busy traveling the world, barely home at all — certainly not for New Year's.

    So. What exactly does he think he's doing at the lodge, standing in her room?

    Summary

    When Colin Bridgerton returns to London for a social media sabbatical, Penelope suggests that he crash with her for the duration, however long it might be. Sure, she's been in love with him forever, and sure she has a full-time job, and sure she's a secret romance writer and nobody knows it, but she's really good at hiding things, so it should be fine, right? But when she also suggests that he work with her publisher, all of the secrets she's been so carefully tending start creeping into the light.
