Summary
“Good,” Colin’s mouth curves upward as he hums, using his pen to underline ‘writers block.’ He leans forward, hands on his knees as he meets her eyes. “So, I'm thinking…while we’re both here, what if we swapped genres? You write a romance novel, and I will write one of your realistic fiction books–that way, the change in what kind of thing we’re writing about will break both of us out of this…creative lapse in judgement.”
Penelope snorts, raising her eyebrows in complete and true disbelief. “Me…write a romance novel?” She says, her voice flat. “There’s no way you’re being serious.”
“Fine. But we make it a contest. We have to finish this book by August and whoever sells the most copies wins. The loser has to endorse the book of the person who wins, repeatedly. I’m talking social media, press tours, when you’re giving out recommendations at the Notting hill bookshop, all of it,” Penelope argues firmly. “I want my name and the name of my books to be in your mouth, constantly.”
Colin, looking a little awe struck by the initiative she’s taken, grins proudly. “Deal.”

Summary
The Featherington family inherit a house, and it brings Penelope within punching distance of Colin Bridgerton.
He’s maddeningly cute, ridiculously nice (which is stupidly hot), and has some weird ideas about the rules of ‘yellow car’.
There’s a spark, for sure. Is it friendship? Or is it more? There are a lot of teenage hormones in the mix so it’s hard to know, but it shouldn’t take them long to figure out, right? Right?!

“But you can’t go alone,” she added, her gaze meeting his with quiet conviction.
Colin’s lips quirked. “You sound as though you’re volunteering.”
Penelope’s smile was faint, but her eyes gleamed with the same spark he had always known; when she found a story, when she had uncovered some hidden truth others missed.
“Someone has to keep you from getting trampled in traffic.”
OR
A year after his disappearance, and the Brazilian government’s eventual declaration of his death, Colin and Penelope journey into the same jungle where Edmund Bridgerton vanished, seeking answers. But as they brave the wild together, they find that the greatest discovery is not what lies hidden in the jungle, but within their hearts.

Summary
His touch wasn’t polished, but it was real, rough in the way a rancher’s hands are, the kind of rough that made her feel every inch of him. Her dress did little to soften the contact, and that only seemed to stoke the heat flaring in her belly. Her lips parted, a soft gasp escaping as her body arched into his touch.
She’d known heat before—working the forge, toiling under the sun—but this? This was something else entirely.
OR
A new rancher rides into town in search of the finest blacksmith to forge his tools, but instead, he finds a round-faced redhead girl with a quick wit and a stubborn streak who turns his whole world on its head.
