    Summary

    At four-and-forty, Colin Bridgerton found himself wanting more from life than travel. Something steady. Something that lasted.

    What he didn’t expect was to propose to a freshly debuted girl—Penelope Featherington—in a desperate bid to salvage her reputation.

    Who cared about a twenty-seven-year age gap, anyway?
    Apparently, Colin did.

    Summary

    "Thank you for your letter, by the way," she said suddenly, turning to face him. "I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to come at first, but hearing from you pushed me to say yes."

    "Really?" he blinked, surprised. "I wasn't sure if it would make any difference at all. It had been so long since we've seen each other, and I didn't think I had that much influence."

    "Maybe I came back just because I missed you, too," she teased, nudging him with her hip. He was so tall she could only knock his thigh. "Looking at this mess, I'm definitely going to hold you to your offer to help out."

    "It's…a lot," he admitted, smirking. "But hopefully, it'll be a lot of fun too."

    ~

    After a few years in the city, Penelope Featherington returns home after her father's death to take over the family farm. It's a bit of a mess, but Colin Bridgerton--finished with his blacksmith apprenticeship and a bit of traveling--is more than ready to help out.

    The town is full of gossip as something more than just a field of potatoes and turnips blooms between two old friends.

    Summary

    It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.

    It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.

    “Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.

    Colin throws back the last of his drink.

    And Penelope moved on from him.

    -

    After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.

    The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.
