Way Back Into Love by Gypsygirlontherun

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.

Summary
Penelope lost Eloise in an attempt to save her from the queen. Although she knows that was not the reason Eloise is mad at her.
Penelope learnt how Colin truly felt about her, the same night he vowed to protect her. His true colors made her feel small and unworthy, breaking her.
Penelope could no longer take the hits and is hasty to run from them, leaving her in a dangerous situation.
Set right after the ball in 2x08.

Summary
She released a huffed breath. “I absolutely cannot believe we’re doing this,” she said, studying their scrawled list of rules. “This is crazy, this is absolutely insane.”
He lifted his hand, almost reached out to place it on her clenched fist but thought better of it. “Hey, we’ve got this. We’re the top students of the entirety of Avonlea High, if anybody can pull something like this off, we can.”
She snorted.
Gilbert plastered one of his trademark grins onto his face. “Alright, Carrots. This time Monday morning, we’ll be an official couple.” He reached his arm across the table, hand palm open.
“You and that damned nickname,” she hissed back, but placed her own hand in his anyway. It dwarfed it.
They shook, hands clasped in one another’s tightly, then immediately dropped them.
“God help me,” Anne whispered.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has always lived through her writing, pouring her heart into words no one ever sees—except Colin Bridgerton. Once, they were best friends who shared everything: stories, secrets, and a connection that felt like more. But a falling out five years ago ended their bond and left too many things unsaid.
Now, Penelope is back at Aubrey Hall for her best friend Eloise’s wedding—Colin’s sister. As maid of honour to his best man, she can no longer avoid him… or the memories they left behind. Old letters and unresolved feelings resurface, threatening the fragile calm Penelope has built with ink and distance.
As tension turns to truth, Penelope must decide: can she rewrite the ending of their story, or are some words better left in the past?

Summary
With a broken heart and an abandoned building he just bought, Colin Bridgerton had a dream.
To have his own bookshop.
So saying goodbye to his family and friends, to the city he once loved to call home, Colin made the journey to a little town in the countryside to see if his dream was so far out of reach. Of course, he knew it wouldn’t be easy.
To try and renovate a space that’s lost its soul, while trying to heal his heart, and throw in an older brother who doesn’t have much faith in him, it was quite a struggle to get going.
But maybe a sweet redhead baker who owns a cafe across the street might be able to help, and maybe show him that there’s so much more here in this little town he was now a new resident in.

Summary
Phillip Crane is twelve. Eloise Bridgerton is ten. The pond is technically on Aubrey Hall land, though he has never quite conceded this.
They meet every summer. They write letters when they can't. He makes her a bookmark out of pressed clover so she'll stop bending the pages. She embroiders him a lopsided daisy and calls it character.
It is a very long time before either of them calls it anything else.
