    Summary

    After turning thirty, Penelope decides she's done waiting for the perfect man and wants to be a mother. With the help of an esteemed fertility clinic, she selects a sperm donor and gets pregnant on her own. Scared to deal with the judgement of others, she lies and says that her ex boyfriend who moved away is the father.

    Though she and Colin have drifted in recent months, when he finds out her news, he vows to support her and show up for her and her baby. Her feelings for him muddy the waters, and she does her best to keep him at arms length during such an emotional time.

    --

    It all started with a brochure. 

    When Philippa struggled to get pregnant with her second, she and Albion looked into every option they could think of. At another painful Featherington family tea, Portia rattled off a list of old wives tales of sex positions they could try, earning groans and gags from all four of her daughters. Penelope glanced at the table, where the brochure lay forgotten, the words “Mayfair Fertility Clinic and Sperm Bank” sprawled in elegant typeface across the front, as though it were a fine dining menu and not an institution where men jerked off into cups.

    Summary

    When she moved to a new city, Penelope felt like things were going her way. Despite her nerves, she quickly realized things were different. Better. She made new friends, a boyfriend. Life was good.

    Until it wasnt. Nothing could stay perfect in Penelope's life. If something could go wrong, it would. Murphy’s Law and all that.

    Summary

    “But can you promise me Pen, that you wouldn’t do a disastrous thing like getting with one of my brothers. Or even worse, fall in love with one of them?”

     

    **

    She knew how it happened, knew what changed. It was when she started her job at Magazine Danbury a month after she finished University, it was when Colin decided he was staying home instead of whisking away to some place else in the world and got himself a job at the same company.

    It was when Colin came into her life completely. As a colleague, as a friend, as something more.

    And Penelope tried, she tried so hard to resist him with all of her heart.

    But growing closer created a pull that was alluring, that was wanting, and that made Penelope weak to the knees. And being in close proximity with him these past couple of days, made her fall even deeper.

    All of it, leading to this moment. The day after the conference which he invited her to. They were together in their hotel room, room no.165, naked under the sheets in the bed. Laying in the morning afterglow from a mind blowing night before and-

    “What have we done Colin?”

    “Something that we both wanted, for such a long time.”

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is a successful English teacher, Deputy Headteacher and single mum to an energetic 5 year old, Elliott. They venture to London for a few days of exploring and new experiences during the summer holidays.

    What Penelope doesn’t expect however, is for her carefully managed and curated world to collide with the chaotic Bridgerton family due to chance meeting between Elliott and some of the next generation of Bridgertons.

    Penelope has spent years building a coat of armour to protect herself, and by extension Elliott, from everything negative that the world could throw their way. She is determined to give Elliott a totally different upbringing from her own.

    Surely her armour can stay intact for a few days in London… surely?

    Summary

    R/Advice
    “I (23,F), has always had a crush on C (25, M), my best friend's (E, 23, F) brother. Before his last trip, at a party we shared a drunken kiss before he said sorry and left. Since then, we have been friendly but something changed. I tried to move on, and began dating for the past 2 weeks, A (28, M), a fine man who I am still exploring things with. Last night, at C’s welcoming party, he was his usual happy self and we talked like before, like nothing happened. However, I left the party early because I heard him say to B (28,M), his brother “Are you crazy, I’ll never date Pen!”. I said nothing and left pretending I had an urgent uni matter. What can I do? Should I just forget and focus on A? Any tips are welcomed”.
