Summary
The Bridgertons have thirty-five days to come up with a plan to save Aubrey Hall, or lose it due to some minor financial mismanagement. There’s a loophole, though. If one of the heirs of the estate marries, their spouse can accept the property in a transfer and avoid forfeiture.
Naturally, Colin volunteers to marry Penelope. Platonically.
No problem, right?

Summary
When Penelope wakes, blearily, she shifts to her opposite side in the uncomfortable hospital bed.
She sees him there, in the same place he has been for the last several days, from the moment she first awoke.
The man they say is her husband.
She knows this man; she has known him nearly her whole life.
But she does not know Colin Bridgerton as her husband.
An accident steals five years of Penelope's memory, leaving her baffled and confused as she tries to adjust to the life that is, apparently, hers—a life she had once dreamed of, no less. Colin is Colin, taking care of her every need, but maintaining a careful distance that has her wondering how he fell in love with her in the first place. But as they navigate the strange new world they find themselves in, and as bits and pieces of Penelope's memory return, she learns how it feels to be truly and wholly loved by Colin Bridgerton.
And how it feels to be betrayed by him.

Summary
It's maybe not something he should be doing for his friend. It is maybe too much, not normal, but Colin likes how it makes him feel. For two months a year he gets to be a man who has a girl to buy flowers for. Sometimes when the florist says for your girlfriend? he will say yeah, and when they say lucky girl he will say yeah, yeah she is or I'm the lucky one and for a few moments he is another person entirely, a man with a purpose and a life and a warm flat with a pretty girl in it, waiting upside down on the sofa for her peonies with her hair trailing.
Better than the reality, that he is a thirty-two year old loser with no job (which is why he can afford to be loping around the city all day looking for flowers). No job no girlfriend no point.
It is the happiest he is all year.

Summary
"Marry me," Colin blurts out suddenly, turning to her fully. "I did not mean to be so abrupt about it—it is just that it shall work in our favor."

"W—what did you…?"
"Marry me, Penelope," he repeats. "As the Viscount, I am expected to take a wife. If you marry me, you shall be free of all the eyes on you. You will have your own free will."
The one where Viscount Colin Bridgerton is under pressure to take a wife. Who better than to offer a marriage to than his best friend Penelope Featherington? Or Colin and Penelope enter into a marriage of convivence.

Summary
Just one kiss.
The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.
It does not have to mean anything.
Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.
And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.
They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—
After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.

Summary
When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.
Or, a Jane Eyre Au.

Summary
In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.
—•—
Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.
Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.
“Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”
The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
Shallow.

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
Penelope Featherington is bound and determined to get over Colin Bridgerton after overhearing him laughing about her with her cousin. She thinks she’s done a pretty great job thus far. She has a job she loves, friends she adores and a respectable boyfriend – all whilst keeping Colin at arm’s length.
It isn’t until Debling’s dark secret is exposed for the world (and the tabloids) to see that she begins to realise that maybe her resistance is futile. Especially when Colin is so set on supporting her through the worst time in her life. Will she be able to get through this whilst also keeping her already battered heart protected?

Summary
When Colin opened the door for Penelope that day, he hadn’t realized that his life as he knew it was about to change. As he took her coat, it hadn’t occurred to him that he didn’t have all the time in the world to smile at her or enjoy her smiles or to jokingly battle with Eloise over who would have the honor of escorting her to the dining room where everyone was gathered. No, Penelope was his, ever since childhood, and he couldn’t conceive of a world where he didn’t have his best friend.
