Summary
This definitely wasn’t on Penelope’s 2025 bingo card. To be completely honest with herself, it wasn’t even on her lifetime bingo card.
Right before he left for his month-long trip to New York, Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington had sex, and it was glorious.

Summary
The realization strikes him like a lightning bolt, a white-hot and searing shock that splinters through his chest and cracks his heart into pieces. All he can hear is his own rapid pulse in his ears and the agonized howl that rips through through his hindmind.
The box containing the cursed bouquet tumbles to the floor, spilling out its blood-stained petals and wilted blooms, and his knees follow—as if he's being dragged down by the weight of his worst nightmares, which now lie scattered across the carpet.
Or, a tale of what happens when a young Omega is carelessly spurned by her oblivious True Mate.

Summary
Sometimes you meet the right person too early. You’re not ready yet, you lie to yourself, you keep pretending you’re “just friends”, until denying it becomes impossible.
Every ex has a story to tell about that oh-so-“platonic” relationship between two best friends.

Summary
In the shadows of Washington’s brightest lights, President Colin Bridgerton rises as the youngest leader in American history—charismatic, brilliant, but dangerously entangled with the one woman he cannot have: his fixer, Penelope Featherington. While the First Lady smiles for the cameras, Colin and Penelope steal moments in the dark, tethered by a love too powerful to name and too ruinous to expose. Every debate, every state dinner, every crisis threatens to unravel them, as ambition and desire collide behind closed doors. With Michael Sterling circling, Marina suspicious, and the press hungrier than ever, the line between politics and scandal grows razor-thin. The question is no longer if the truth will come out—but when, and what it will destroy in its wake.
Or
Penelope is Olivia Pope and Colin is Fitzgerald down-bad Grant.

Summary
Penelope had to get out. She felt like she was dying every time she had to return to Featherington house, and now with the heir race well underway with her sisters, she knew she had to get out. Penelope was no fool, she knew living with one of her sisters as the new Lady Featherington would be interminable and she’d likely be kicked out and sent to the country – or worse, Ireland in exile. However, Penelope had been planting seeds and she had two plans – hopefully one of them would work.
The first one involved Lady Danbury and a desperate plea for asylum – before she wound up in one.
The second one involved telling Anthony Bridgerton she was in love with him and wanted to be his wife.
