Summary
When Penelope wakes, blearily, she shifts to her opposite side in the uncomfortable hospital bed.
She sees him there, in the same place he has been for the last several days, from the moment she first awoke.
The man they say is her husband.
She knows this man; she has known him nearly her whole life.
But she does not know Colin Bridgerton as her husband.
An accident steals five years of Penelope's memory, leaving her baffled and confused as she tries to adjust to the life that is, apparently, hers—a life she had once dreamed of, no less. Colin is Colin, taking care of her every need, but maintaining a careful distance that has her wondering how he fell in love with her in the first place. But as they navigate the strange new world they find themselves in, and as bits and pieces of Penelope's memory return, she learns how it feels to be truly and wholly loved by Colin Bridgerton.
And how it feels to be betrayed by him.

Summary
He looks like hell.
It's a wretched thought, considering all that's transpired the last few hours, and considering he still looks better than a majority of men look on their best days, but all the same. His hair is a tangled mess, bits of leaves and twigs twisted and snarled into the curled mass; his face is dirty and appears to have some small cuts, undoubtedly from the heavy winds casting debris about as he trudged around in the dark saving her sister and searching for Monica; and the dark smudges under his eyes, and the tear tracks beneath them, are the most telling. Every step he takes into the kitchen is heavy, like he carries the weight of the entire world on his shoulders; Atlas reborn in the heart of the Cotswolds.
She wants to reach for him but hesitates; is that what he wants?
The morning after the great storm, after the shocking loss, Taggie and Rupert are left alone in The Priory kitchen.

Summary
Lady Danbury sets her tea cup in its saucer on the table and fixes Penelope with her intense gaze.
"I'd like to sponsor you."
Penelope chokes on her next swig of tea so badly that Lady Danbury rises, moving next to her and patting her back until her hacking abates. Penelope takes in a few steadying breaths, willing air into her lungs. She is sure she misheard, that the shock of her choking has altered her memory. "Pardon, my lady? You wish to…?"
"Sponsor you. For the season."
After Archibald Featherington loses the family fortune when Penelope is thirteen, the family is forced to adapt to life as members of the lower class. By nineteen, Penelope has become Madame Delacroix's apprentice, and her fine skills with a needle catch the eye of Lady Agatha Danbury. Debuting in society thrills and terrifies her in equal measure, as she knows nothing of how a proper lady should behave, but she wants nothing more than to escape from her cruel, embittered mother—and she is perfectly content to settle for a straightforward, comfortable marriage in order to do so.
Enter Colin Bridgerton.

Summary
And it starts like this: a wry twist of a sin-soaked smile and skin that glows golden in the light leaking out from the hallway, illuminating jet-black hair threaded with silver and warm, hazel eyes. There’s a rush of pink across her cheeks that she’s helpless to fight against, even as she wishes desperately she’d worn something other than her brother’s tattered university jumper and frilly, polka dot pyjama trousers.
“You are certainly not one of my daughter’s friends,” he says slowly, looking her up and down. A candy cane hangs loose between his lips, dropping to the ground when he offers her another grin. He doesn’t even seem to notice. “No, I’d have remembered you.”

Summary
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Colin Bridgerton is full of those.
Loving Penelope has always been the easiest thing he's ever done. Helping her love herself proves infinitely harder.
When an attempt to heal years of self-loathing leaves them both heartbroken, Colin is forced to confront a painful truth: Good intentions aren't the same as understanding.
Or: the one where Colin learns that communication is sexier than grand gestures.

Summary
"Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."
It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.
A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.
