    Summary

    Sophie (Gun) Cha has always lived by other people’s expectations — a dutiful daughter, a perfect wife, and the quiet artist behind her mother’s gallery of “masterpieces”. But on the eve of her first wedding anniversary, one drive toward the Golden Gate Bridge shatters the illusion. As Sophie’s world collapses, she must confront the lies that shaped her family, her marriage, and herself.

    Summary

    One night changes everything.
    After a bitter fight with Eloise fractures the one friendship Penelope Featherington has always believed unbreakable, she arrives at the ball already aching—raw with loneliness and regret. But it is not until she overhears Colin Bridgerton’s careless words, spoken with laughter and certainty, that something inside her finally shatters.
    In the glittering shadows of the ballroom, Penelope realizes that waiting quietly, loving faithfully, and hoping endlessly has only ever left her invisible. The girl who believed kindness and patience would be enough is left behind on the marble floor.
    By dawn, Penelope makes a silent vow: she will no longer shrink, soften, or settle for being overlooked. If the world refuses to see her as she is, then she will remake herself entirely—and this time, she will be unforgettable.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is a successful English teacher, Deputy Headteacher and single mum to an energetic 5 year old, Elliott. They venture to London for a few days of exploring and new experiences during the summer holidays.

    Penelope’s plans include a trip to museums, a boat ride, culture and new foods. Elliott’s plans include seeing as many dinosaurs as possible and eating lots of ice cream.

    What Penelope doesn’t expect however, is for her carefully managed and curated world to collide with the chaotic Bridgerton family due to chance meeting between Elliott and some of the next generation of Bridgertons.

    Penelope has spent years building a coat of armour to protect herself, and by extension Elliott, from everything negative that the world could throw their way. She is determined to give Elliott a totally different upbringing from her own. Her suit of armour also serves to cover the mental and physical scars, and closely guarded secrets, that she carries thanks to her past.

    Surely her armour can stay intact for a few days in London… surely?

    Summary

    The room seemed to tilt sideways, so much so that Colin felt the need to grip the doorframe until he thought the wood might splinter beneath his fingers. Anthony being left at the altar. That dreadful Whistledown article about Eloise. The Featherington Ball. All of those things had happened.

    They had happened months ago.

    He had danced through that night drunk on victory, had attended Anthony’s much more successful wedding to Kate in August, had gone on to his second tour. He had returned to London just days ago for the new season. He had attended the Danbury Ball. He had spoken to Penelope on the terrace. He had gone to Mondrich’s and gotten drunk and punched Fife in the face and given his father’s sleeve buttons to a beggar and—

    —and died.

    Or: Colin Bridgerton being an idiot...repeatedly

    Summary

    Loss is always bitter — a slow poison that seeps into the bones, leaving the heart raw and ragged. But this time, it wasn’t just any loss. It was a tearing, a hollowing out from the inside. She wasn’t only losing someone she loved — she was losing herself.

    Summary

    Colin was pacing the front hall. He had never been so jittery in his life. All his anxiety, anticipation, and excitement compelled his feet back and forth across the hall.

    Ever since Mama had told him that Penelope would be joining them for the holiday via the girls’ carriage, he had been even more fidgety than usual. He had not been able to be normal around her since he had been home from Eton, and that was six months ago. When Eloise had called after her in the park and she had turned, her hair swirling around her, her face pink and her mouth laughing, a feeling Colin could only describe as blazing hot calm had washed over him. She was so perfectly beautiful, so perfectly kind and charming, so perfectly clever and sparkling.

    Perfect.

    It wasn’t fair.

    ///

    Colin's friendship with Penelope means everything to him, but when he falls for her before she has even debuted, he despairs. When she joins the Bridgertons at Aubrey Hall for Christmas, things spiral.

    A little angst, a lot of feelings, and some happy holiday smut!

    Summary

    Penelope has felt as if she is unwanted from the moment she could recollect it - her father is more focused on the notion that the family is drowning in debt, her mother wants to climb the social ladder, and her two elder sisters love bullying her. When her hat flies off her head one afternoon and smacks one Anthony Bridgerton in the face, their entire worlds change forever.

    After being unofficially adopted by the Bridgerton family, Penelope grows up as a surrogate daughter, enjoying the luxury and comfort provided, especially the halfway decent education she gets. However, in her late teens, she realizes just how deep her love for one Anthony Bridgerton goes, but, given his high status as a viscount, as well as CEO of Bridgerton Enterprises, she never believes she will be good enough for him, until a chance of a lifetime comes her way...

    Summary

    Eloise Bridgerton finds herself in a position of which she initially could never conceive herself to be in, a place that she has only ever witnessed her own siblings fall into.
    And that is, none other, than to, fall in love.

    Unsuspectedly this too, is with Cressida Cowper.

    While the two women have braved their way from being enemies to friends then to enemies yet again, to finally, lovers, they soon face new adversaries.

    Such formidable adversaries include, the judging eyes of society, the harsh conditions of secrecy, the battle of love and hate between families but above all, the unpredictable decisions of fate.

    Young Eloise’s romance endeavour will not be alike as to the ones in which her own brothers and sisters have preserved through, to now share happily.
    It is of one that will change not only the lives of the two women, but of also, the remarkable lives of London’s most revered aristocrats, the Bridgertons.

    Summary

    At their biggest London show yet, The Bluebells take the stage.

     

    During the last set, between the songs, Colin Bridgerton opens up to the roaring crowd, sharing the stories behind each track: the childhood memories, the quiet moments, the family mayhem, and the pieces of growing up that shaped their sound. Waiting just offstage is Penelope Featherington, first his friend, his closest confidante, and now his girlfriend, hearing each story right along with everyone else.

    As the night builds from soft beginnings to a spectacular finale, Colin’s memories reveal the heart behind the lyrics: friendship, devotion, bravery, and the kind of love that grows slowly and surely over years.

     

    Or

     

    Every song tells a part of the same story.

    Summary

    Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.

    "I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."

    Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.

    "Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"

    Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"

    "I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"

    "Yes."

    --

    Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.
