    Summary

    There are some things no one speaks of in polite society.

    Not repeated miscarriages. Not difficulty conceiving. Not the quiet humiliation of watching everyone around you build the family you cannot seem to have.

    So Colin and Penelope say nothing at all.

    They smile through family dinners. Endure Portia’s sharp remarks. Congratulate another Bridgerton sibling on yet another impending child.

    And all the while, Bloomsbury House grows quieter and quieter around them.

    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 has always followed the rules. Never stepping out of place or questioning her overbearing mother.

    But now that she has graduated from university, she has put her foot down. One summer to spend with her best friends Sophie and Kate. Away from the watchful eye of her mother.

    Everything is off to a great start, until a bad boy on a motorcycle stops at the street light next to them and Penelope makes an out of character decision that may change all her summer plans.

    Summary

    To avoid watching a wedding that would destroy her heart, Penelope Featherington fled to a new country. A new life. Little did she know that an escape to find herself would cause the groom to find something missing within himself. Her.

    As she tried to run away from him, he ran away to her. An angsty tale of surviving heartbreak and embracing love.
