   Summary

   Penelope Featherington has always dreamt of the day she would marry her best friend, Colin Bridgerton.

   What she didn't realize is that she would be marrying him for obligation, not for love.

   At least, not at first...

   ** Slow burn taking place directly after the events of season 2, fic now complete**
