Summary
What began as whispers among the ton — rumors of a grand matchmaking ceremony decreed by the Queen — soon became reality. No one could predict who would be bound together under Her Majesty’s watchful eye, and Penelope Featherington dreaded the outcome as much as Colin Bridgerton resented the intrusion.
When the night arrived, Penelope’s worst fears seemed inevitable… until the herald called Colin’s name, followed by hers. Stunned into disbelief, she could scarcely move until Lady Bridgerton urged her forward. Colin, already at her side, gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and stepped boldly before the throne — a silent promise that whatever came of this, she would not face it alone.
From that moment, their bond shifted. Yet in the quiet of his own chamber, Colin’s thoughts betrayed him. He imagined what it would mean to cross that final boundary. To see Penelope not just as his dearest friend, but as his wife in every sense. The thought unsettled him, even as it stirred a desire he could no longer ignore.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton thinks love is a thunderbolt from the sky-a sudden, dazzling force that leaves no room for uncertainty. A stomach flip. A rush. A spark worth chasing. Which is precisely why he courts the wrong woman and sulks when the thrill fades. Penelope Featherington—clever, steady, and quietly devoted—has always stood just beside him, watching and aching. When Lady Whistledown's pen delivers a twist no one expected and tragedy strikes her household, Colin must finally confront the difference between what he wanted and what he truly needed.
Because sometimes, the heart always knew—it just waited for him to catch up.Bookmarked by spektacle

Summary
What if Penelope reacted differently when Colin accused her of trapping him?
Penelope ran away from the Ton, giving Colin what she thought he desperately wanted: his freedom. She loves him too much to allow him to be trapped in a loveless marriage with her.
Colin never expected to lose Penelope; his anger towards her pushed her to leave him, promising he would never have to see her again.Thanks to the money she made as Lady Whisteldown, she fled to Greece, passing as a young widow named Anne Bridges. She is set to be a single mother and raise her child away from a society that never cared for her and from a father who would think the child is only a product of her "plan entrapment".
Thanks to the help of his brothers, Colin will do even the impossible to get his Pen back.
