Summary
Colin and Penelope couldn’t have been more in love. They were strangers when they met… two lives crossing paths by sheer luck. But the moment their eyes met, something shifted. It was immediate, electric, as though the universe had been quietly orchestrating this encounter all along. They fell in love at first sight… no slow burn, no hesitations. Just a headlong dive into something that felt inevitable... untouchable.
Their relationship unfolded like a dream. Every date felt like a scene from a storybook. They had fallen hard and fast. Within a few months, they were engaged. Their wedding was nothing short of magic… sun-drenched vows, dancing under fairy lights, and a room filled with people who believed, without a doubt, they were made for each other.It was perfect. Too perfect, perhaps. Because just when it seemed life had handed them a forever kind of love… it was as if fate’s script had been stolen, its sacred design undone by a whisper in the dark, uninvited… leaving only ruin in place of what was meant to be.

Summary
He kept holding her as big waves of sobs came over her one after the other. He felt as though he was holding her together. Like if he let go she might fall into a thousand pieces.
He had done this before. She had done this before. They had done this before.
She had turned up on his doorstep at a time when they were both miserable and she had broken in his arms. And he had held her like this, and put her back together, and she put him back together and they were happy. For a while.
- Colin told Penelope he loved her, and then they married other people. Five years later, it’s all fallen apart. -

Summary
Penelope had never explained to Colin why she refused to write to him on his second tour. She also had never expected him to cut his tour short and show up on her doorstep in the middle of the winter, insisting that she accompany him to Aubrey Hall at his mother's behest so that she and Eloise could repair their friendship before the new season began. She certainly had not expected an abundance of accidents and bad luck to leave them trapped alone at an inn for the foreseeable future.
But Penelope was resolute in her decision to break free of their so-called friendship. She could make due with her lingering anger at Colin's harsh words the season before and take solace in the fact that Colin, as a beta, wouldn't be ruled by his instincts at the prospect of being trapped with an omega like an alpha would.
Thank god Colin was a beta...
Wasn't he?

Summary
In an attempt to win his best friend back after putting her reputation in jeopardy at the Featherington ball last season, Colin offers to help Penelope in her quest to find a husband. They meet every week in the privacy of his home for a set of lessons to boost her confidence when interacting with eligible gentlemen.
On Penelope's most recent visit, a mix-up in the kitchen has her accidentally consume a rather large portion of the tea he had acquired during his travels. While Colin desperately tries to ensure for her safety, Penelope appears to be determined to send him to an early grave as not only does she shake up his entire worldview with each new revelation, she would also not stop flirting with him, making it rather difficult to remember she was a lady and his friend.
Or perhaps, she was a lot more than that...
