Summary
“Are you sure you’re okay?” She looked up at him through her pale eyelashes, a small hand reaching out to gently touch his forearm sending sparks through his body. “You seem… different.”
How could he explain that he seemed different because he was different? What words could he string together to convey that suddenly he looked at her and he really saw her and now he can’t unsee her? What explanation could justify his foolishness for not having seen it sooner? For letting things get this far? For acting so out of character the past twenty-four hours? How could he describe the wave of anxiety consuming him from his toes to his eyeballs? The undeniable urge taking over his body to grab her, pull her into his arms, and kiss her until neither of them could breathe?
“I’m fine. Just tired, I guess.”
Penelope dropped her hand and he felt cold at the loss of her. “Okay then.”
--
Teenaged Colin spirals after seeing Penelope kiss someone else at a party and realizing for the first time that he views her as so much more than a friend.

Summary
When Penelope is kidnapped on the road to London, she doesn’t expect a swift rescue, if one comes at all. Then Colin Bridgerton comes crashing through the door, windswept, heartbreakingly heroic, and entirely too handsome for his own good—especially when she starts praising him for saving her life.
Now they’re stranded for the night with only one bed and Colin rapidly discovers that nothing tests his gentlemanly restraint like sharing close quarters with the one woman whose opinion has always mattered to him—especially when she won’t stop giving him those maddening compliments.

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.
