Summary
Colin Bridgerton is a wanderer — always somewhere new, always charming his way through life without much reason to settle down. Among the people he keeps coming back to is Penelope Featherington, an old friend who has built exactly the quiet, grounded life he never wanted for himself. When a car accident puts Penelope's life in danger, something shifts in Colin that he can't shake. For the first time, he has to reckon with what she actually means to him — but Penelope has spent years making peace with who Colin is, and she's not waiting around. He has a lot to prove, and no guarantee she'll let him.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is packing up her life and moving to Dublin — new country, new city, new people, a Creative Writing MA at Trinity, and a real shot at finishing her novel. Fresh start, clean slate, no complications. She had a spreadsheet. It had tabs. She had thought of everything.
She had not thought of Colin. She had definitely not thought about living with him.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is on holiday celebrating her birthday with one of her best friends in literal paradise. All of these things should add up to her spending the week with a beaming smile plastered on her face and having the absolute time of her life. Instead, though, she starts off the trip fixated on the milestone-nature of this particular birthday and one life milestone that she wishes she’d already checked off by this point. Quietly resigned to ringing in her birthday in a few days’ time without making any further progress, Penelope is entirely unprepared for a very helpful offer from her best friend who just also happens to be the person she’d spent years previously hopelessly crushing on.
--
Or, the one where Colin takes Penelope’s virginity “as a friend.”

Summary
Colin and Penelope's friendship used to be easy. But eight months abroad, and a few too many unspoken truths, have left their once-effortless friendship fraying at the edges. Now that Colin’s finally home, he’s determined to pick up where they left off. What he doesn’t expect is Penelope keeping him at arm’s length.
Penelope, for her part, is doing everything she can to protect a heart that's been quietly breaking for years. Because loving Colin is one thing, surviving it is another.
Rebuilding their friendship might be harder than Colin expected, especially when he doesn’t realize he’s the reason she's pulling away

Summary
Being trapped in an elevator wasn’t on Penelope Featherington’s agenda for the Chicago Marketing Summit, nor was having a heart-to-heart with Colin Bridgerton—the marketing golden boy she’s silently followed and admired. Yet, after one hour of unexpected closeness, they step out with plans for a dinner that’s less about networking and more about the sparks that flew when the elevator stopped. As they navigate their new bond in the vast world outside the elevator, the question remains: can their connection survive in the real world, or was it just a perfect moment suspended in time?
