    Summary

    An ancient marriage pact forces Colin Atherley, newly made Duke of Austinborough, to marry Penelope Featherington—the quiet girl he once knew as a child and has long since forgotten.

    To Colin, the marriage is little more than an inconvenient obligation. Within a day he leaves for London and his medical studies, abandoning his new bride at Everthorne.

    But five years is a long time.

    When Colin finally returns home, he expects to find the same timid girl he left behind.

    Instead he finds a woman who has rebuilt his estate, earned the loyalty of the village, and learned how to live perfectly well without him.

    The more Colin learns about his wife, the more unsettling a realization becomes:

    Perhaps he was never the only one wounded by their marriage. And perhaps the quiet girl he overlooked has been the most extraordinary woman in his life all along.

    Summary

    When Penelope Featherington’s debut manuscript is threatened by a malicious claim of stolen authorship, she needs to get to New York before the publisher walks away from the book she has spent years building.

    The problem: a brutal weather system has grounded most flights out of London.

    The worse problem: the only person who can get her there is Colin Bridgerton, her former best friend, long-haul pilot, and the man she has spent the last year trying very hard not to love after overhearing exactly what he thought of her before he left for Athens.

    Forced into close quarters above the Atlantic and then into one rain-soaked New York hotel room, Penelope and Colin are finally left with nowhere to hide from the wreckage of their friendship—or the truth of what has always been between them.

    Or: Colin is a pilot (because there's just not enough of it here), and Penelope is her usual brilliant self.
