Summary
When Penelope Featherington is dragged from her bed in the middle of the night, she’s told that her nom-de-plume has been uncovered. Not by the Queen as she’d feared, but by the men who murdered her father. There are debts to be paid far beyond her Whistledown earnings. Fortunately for Penelope, a mysterious figure from her past is set on protecting her at all costs.
A regency bodyguard 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
Colin maintained that his recent bout of lunacy was, in its entirety, all Penelope Featherington’s fault. For, had she not been so very resolute in her refusal to speak to him after an off-season's worth of unanswered letters, it was wholly possible that – after having overheard his mother lamenting both the state of the Featherington baronry and the effects of Lady Featherington’s now rather indiscreet baby race on Penelope’s chances at a felicitous (if practical) match – Colin would have acted far more rationally than to orchestrate a not-so-clandestine, not-so-very-appropriate, and also not-at-all-truthful midnight tryst between them in the orangery at Vauxhall Gardens.
(Maybe.)
After all, if it was simply time Penelope needed to work her way towards forgiving him and restoring their once warm friendship, as his mother had suggested… Well, then a lifetime together would certainly suit that, with change to spare, wouldn’t it?
— or, Penelope is a storm Colin is determined to weather. A different take on the entrapment of it all.

Summary
Sometimes, you do not realise what you have until it is gone.
But after nearly losing his best friend, Colin was determined to do everything in his might to keep Penelope in his life. Which proved to be more difficult than he had anticipated, as all of a sudden, everyone seemed to be rather determined to get between them.
Penelope, on the other hand, found herself more confused than ever by Colin's behaviour. But with new guidance, she might finally succeed in securing a match, and then she would no longer have to worry about her stupid feelings ever again.
Or so she thought.
