    Summary

    “Having a nice time, even after you were so reluctant to join us?” Fife asked, not even glancing Colin’s way.

    “Well enough,” Colin said, and he meant it. There was something enjoyable about watching one’s friends fawn over women well out of their league. And the dancing was quite entertaining for his own benefit, too.

    “You might like this next act,” Fife said with a knowing, mischievous grin. “I’ve seen her before. She’s quite something.”

    “This is a high-quality sort of place,” Colin retorted, trying not to roll his eyes. “They’re all quite something.”

    The first upbeat notes of “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado began to play over the speakers. “Just watch,” Fife directed, his smile widening.

    When Colin goes out for a stag night at a strip club, the last person he ever expects is up on the stage.

    He's angry.

    And turned on.

    Summary

    Colin maintained that his recent bout of lunacy was, in its entirety, all Penelope Featherington’s fault. For, had she not been so very resolute in her refusal to speak to him after an off-season's worth of unanswered letters, it was wholly possible that – after having overheard his mother lamenting both the state of the Featherington baronry and the effects of Lady Featherington’s now rather indiscreet baby race on Penelope’s chances at a felicitous (if practical) match – Colin would have acted far more rationally than to orchestrate a not-so-clandestine, not-so-very-appropriate, and also not-at-all-truthful midnight tryst between them in the orangery at Vauxhall Gardens.

    (Maybe.)

    After all, if it was simply time Penelope needed to work her way towards forgiving him and restoring their once warm friendship, as his mother had suggested… Well, then a lifetime together would certainly suit that, with change to spare, wouldn’t it?

     

     

    — or, Penelope is a storm Colin is determined to weather. A different take on the entrapment of it all.

    Summary

    So much of their friendship has been defined by distance, so she has always known what missing him feels like, but this is different. This feels visceral. He is right here with her, but it is not enough.

    Penelope and Colin and their new relationship... figuring it all out one sexy escapade at a time.

    OR: the one with car sex because someone asked, and I felt like it was my duty to deliver. Also, why not? There is plot, but blink, and you may miss it.
