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 billionaire and one of London's most prestigious architects, charming and successful. A life well-made and enviable, with a dream job. However, every night when he arrives home he can feel the loneliness that permeates the walls of his “home,” of his life. What is this feeling inside of having everything you dreamed of and at the same time feeling incomplete?
Penelope can no longer handle this suffering, her life ceased to have meaning from the moment he left. She holds the last letter he sent her and the precious gift he gave her, closes her eyes tightly and with her last breath toward the sky makes a wish… to see him again.
Or, Regency Penelope travels to Modernity where she meets Modern Colin. A story of soulmates.

Summary
“But when am I getting married? And who am I getting married to?”
“More like who would want to marry you?” Prudence mumbles as Philippa snickers along unkindly.
Penelope frowns, for a moment she wonders if her mum will tell Prudence to stop, that being mean also isn’t ladylike, but she doesn’t do that, she just ignores it. “Well, you’re a little too young to be getting married right now, that will have to wait until you’re a bit older, but as for who you’re going to marry… I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.”
Two days after the wedding, Penelope knocks a boy off his bike by accident with her yellow hat. He laughs with her about it instead of yelling at like she’d assumed he would, and the moment she hears his laugh she knows that she’s met the love of her life, and the minute she opens the door she tells her mum that she knows exactly who she’s going to marry one day.
She’s going to marry Colin Bridgerton, the flowers said so.
OR
At nearly every single wedding she goes to, Penelope catches the bouquet. These are the various times it happens, and a couple of times when it doesn't.

Summary
Some love stories begin with an unexpected meeting.
Colin and Penelope’s began with a promise.
They were only fifteen when they fell in love, convinced that what they had was simple, eternal, unbreakable. For years, it was.
But time has a way of pulling people apart. Colin became consumed by work, travel, and responsibilities. Penelope stayed behind, filling the spaces he left empty, until she began to disappear from his sight altogether.
What was once effortless love became silence. What was once certainty became doubt.
After eighteen years together and fourteen years of marriage, one devastating argument changes everything. A slammed door. A business trip. A goodbye that never came.
Penelope refuses to let their story end without a fight. Determined to save the marriage she still believes in, she follows Colin before the distance between them becomes impossible to cross.
But some journeys change everything.
And some doors should never be opened unless you’re ready for what’s waiting on the other side.
Penelope wasn’t.
Because when she finally finds Colin, he isn’t alone.
