    Summary

    After the deaths of his brothers, Colin Bridgerton returns to London carrying a title he never wanted and a future he isn’t ready for. Pressured to marry, he proposes to the one woman he trusts—Penelope Featherington.

    It’s not a love match. It’s practical. Logical. Necessary.

    But Penelope has loved him for years.

    She accepts, on one condition: he must know who he’s asking to marry.

    What follows is a slow unraveling—of secrets, of grief, of feelings neither of them expected to surface. Because some things don’t burn away. Some things stay, quietly smoldering, waiting for their time.

    Summary

    Penelope did not have her makeup on, her hair was brushed out, and she was bare of all jewelry except her wedding ring. And Colin Bridgerton looked at her as if she was the most beautiful woman to ever exist.

    “Colin…” she whispered, not knowing where she was going with her plea. She had wanted to be with him like she had in their house a few weeks prior, but they knew this was different. This was official. This was their ultimate reconciliation.

    He surveyed her up and down, finally within arm’s length of her. “I do not know how you managed it,” he said, reaching up to caress the fabric of the robe on her shoulder. Before she could inquire further, he continued, “I have dreamt of you every night for months now, in every gown,” he moved forward and raked his hands through her hair, “Every version of you hair,” he touched her face ever so gently, causing her to melt into his touch, lips parted, “Of you making every expression imaginable. But nothing, and let me repeat this in case you did not quite hear me the first time, nothing comes close to reality.”

    Or, I add to the last Colin and Penelope intimacy scene in ep8 because it just left us hanging.
