    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton was a rising British tennis star, who disappointed in his professional debut and struggled to find his footing amongst the ATP Tour for years.

    His dreams of winning Wimbledon seemed further and further away when a knee injury sidelined him during his eighth season. The only bright side was re-connecting with his sister's best friend he hadn't seen in years, who reminded him to focus on what inspired him to play from the beginning.

    Penelope tried to keep her distance from Colin, remaining as guarded as possible, but relented when circumstances kept bringing them together, preparing herself for the inevitable heartbreak that would consume her when he re-joined the tour and moved on with his life.

    ---

    “What if I can’t?” Colin asked, voicing his actual biggest fear out loud. The dark cloud looming overhead. “What if I try and give it everything I’ve got and I can’t get it back?” Shame trickled throughout his body.

    Penelope paused again, not rushing her response. She spoke quietly, cradling his insecurities with her soft spoken understanding. “Then at least you’ll know for sure. And you won’t look back with regrets.”

    Summary

    In which the Bridgertons host a Christmas-themed D&D night, Hyacinth takes her role as Dungeon Master far too seriously, and Colin rolls a natural 20 on “accidentally making things awkward with Penelope.”

    There’s karaoke, questionable cocktails, and the terrible realization that he’s falling for his little sister’s best friend.

    OR:

    The one where Colin is a big ole nerd and Penelope matches his freak in all the best ways.

    Summary

    Penelope is a Cambridge student pursuing her MPhil in Global Affairs with a Communication and Media Focus.

    But very few know that she is also Princess Penelope, daughter of the Duke of Clarence—the brother of the King of England.

    When her uncle abdicates the throne, her entire world is turned upside down. Suddenly, she becomes first in line to the crown. She convinces the Royal Household to let her maintain her anonymity for one final year—but the catch? She must be accompanied by a bodyguard at all times.

    Enter Colin Bridgerton, the boy she once loved from afar when she was younger, returning after years abroad to pose as her suitemate at uni and guard her in secret.

    Neither of them is prepared for how dangerous, or how heartbreakingly close, the lines between duty and desire will become.

    Or fed up at age nine, Jane Featherington asks her aunts and uncles to help make her Uncle Colin her dad.

    (Chaos obviously ensues.)
