Summary
Caught in a crisis of faith, Father Colin Bridgerton cries by his altar, tears dripping onto the floor under the red moonlight streaming into his church. He is just a man bound by sin, plagued by greed and expectation, desperate for a sign from his God validating that he is right in his devotion.
He looks up, quickly realizing he is not alone. To his fear and joy, standing by the cross is an angel, beautiful, curious, and red, red, red.
His God has sent him an angel.

Colin, Penelope, a wet t-shirt contest, and a whole lot of Bridgerton family meddling.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Penelope asks her boyfriend, Alfred Debling, to meet her friend, Colin, in the park to partake in Alfie’s favorite hobby: birdwatching. He acquiesces, determined to still engage in his favorite pastime despite Colin’s status as an amateur.
Penelope also asks her best friend, Colin, to meet her new friend, Alfie, in the park to partake in Colin’s new hobby. Despite being upset upon learning Pen won’t be coming, Colin agrees to meet Alfie, determined to get to know Penelope’s new friend.
One would assume, after an afternoon full of puns, plumage, and plenty of revelations, that the two men would be birds of a feather.
Right?

Summary
It's week before the wedding of Eloise Bridgerton and Phillip Crane. Guests flock to Number 5 for a wedding shower full of love, greenery, and champagne.
It is here where best man Colin Bridgerton makes a stupid declaration: that never, in his wildest dreams, would he ever be anything more than friends with his best friend and the maid of honor, Penelope Featherington.
What he doesn’t know, though, is that she hears this firm proclamation.
That, now, he must navigate an uncomfortable new chapter of their friendship before their friends’ nuptials.
That his statement may not accurately capture his true feelings for his best friend.
And that his dreams can get pretty wild. Fantastical, even.

Summary
When he is away, she moves and keeps moving.
She adjusts. She endures. She thrives.
She misses him, but the act of missing him becomes as intrinsic as the act of loving him, and yet another thing she carries with her.
But after—
Everything is different.
Wherein these two idiots have the worst possible timing, the best of intentions with the worst ideas, and spend far too much time talking without saying anything at all.

I'll Hold You, I'll Know You by SunburstsandSpearmint

Summary
Colin knows that touch has always been something he just does. Touching for touching’s sake, nothing more, for friendship, for comfort, to show affection - it's always been something he’s good at. Something he does and something he seeks out. Considering he knows this and does this, it takes him an embarrassingly long time to realize that Penelope, well, doesn’t.
Or,
Colin Bridgerton is what you might call a touchy person. And this makes Penelope Featherington’s brain short circuit with anxiety, all while trying to avoid the fact that she desperately wants to be touched.
A story in eighteen parts about how Colin and Penelope learn to hold each other, and fall in love in the process.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is 33 years old and very sure of himself. At least, that is what any of his seven siblings would tell you. He's the lovable teddy bear with an ease about him that makes everyone feel comfortable in his presence. Never taking himself, or any situation all that seriously. And then he meets Penelope Featherington in a busy London pub and everything he thought he knew about himself changes.

Summary
Colin and Penelope have circled each other for two decades, playing a perpetual game of tug-of-war over who will have the courage to ask. The equally spellbinding and agonizing reality of being in love with your best friend offers a kind of delicious torture that the two creatives wield as both a weapon and a shield.
♡♡♡
Or, against the stunning backdrop of Ojai, California, where Pen is leading her first writer’s retreat, maybe, just maybe, someone will finally take the leap.
