    Summary

    “You punched Theo? Did he try something with you? Did he hurt you?” 

     

    “No! Oh my God, no, not at all!”

     

    “Then why the hell did you have to punch him?” Colin asks, voice raising slightly. “If he didn’t do anything, was it something that he said? Did he disrespect you?” 

     

    “I- well, yes, a little bit but-”

     

    “Right, I’m gonna kill him.”

     

    “What?” Penelope says as he all but storms past her. “Colin, wait! I haven’t told you the whole story yet!”

     

    But he’s already storming down the stairs. “Sharpe, I swear to God I’m gonna…”

     

    Colin’s words escape him as he tries to comprehend the sight in front of him. Theo, tied up, gagged with his own tie. He blinks, and then he turns to Penelope. 

     

    "Okay, so I know that this looks bad, but hear me out…”

     

    In which Penelope has to hold Theo hostage to stop him from ruining Eloise's wedding, and the only person around to help her is her ex-boyfriend that she just had a one night stand with. What could go possibly wrong?

    Summary

    Penelope and Colin are senior nurses at St. Jude Hospital in London, but the similarities end there. She has found a safe haven in hospital protocols. He, a recently transferred nurse from Scotland, prefers to bend the rules to do what he believes is right.

    When the competition for the Lead Change Nurse position begins, it not only tests their skills, but also forces them to confront their fears and open wounds. As their walls come down, the two discover something far deeper than they ever imagined.

    Curing others has always been their specialty. But is love enough for them to cure themselves?

    Summary

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Erm… well… fuck. Ok. Colin.” She clears her throat. “I’m so sorry, but this is a call of shame.”

    “A what?”

    “A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”

    “Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.

    “No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”

    “I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.

    “And not like sensible adults.”

    “I remember that too.” If felt fucking incredible.

    “So you might have chlamydia.”

    “I understand how STIs work, Pen.”

    Summary

    Colin had sworn to not two, not three, but four people he would not be in attendance: Eloise, Daphne, his mother, and Benedict. But Pen wouldn’t have come if she knew he was going to be in attendance, and Penelope needs his family nearly as much as she needs a holiday. He can’t let her vanish from their lives just because he’d hurt her feelings. That’s Colin’s fault, not Penelope’s. That’s his punishment to bear.

    It’s just that the punishment is staying away from Penelope, and Colin can’t quite stand the thought of bearing it all the way.

    --

    Or, Penelope Featherington gets severely sunburned and Colin Bridgerton is just trying to get the girl.

    Summary

    "So…." He awkwardly starts, "What exactly seems to be the issue here, sweetheart?"

    God, he's so…dirty. His arms are covered in grease, smeared all the way up to his shoulder. He can barely wipe his hands clean with the blue cloth. His hair? It's greasy. Probably from all heat and well, being under all the cars that are here.

    "Uh—I can barely get her to start lately," Penelope mutters. "There is this awful screeching when I get her to start. If I keep trying, eventually it starts. I'm sorry, I don't really know a ton about cars."

    The one where Penelope Featherington breaks down and meets pervy mechanic Colin Bridgerton.
