    Summary

    As yet another heatwave hits London, Penelope and Colin find themselves sweltering in the summer heat and missing a very important luxury. Air conditioning. When Colin and Benedict are installing a window unit in Penelope's room for her, they come across a curious album labeled "Spank Bank" filled photos of a certain Bridgerton man.

    How will Colin handle the new information and how did the second air conditioning unit mysteriously break, leading to the two being forced to share a bed during the summer nights?

    Summary

    It was 1991 when Penelope, struggling to get pregnant in her marriage to Alfred Debling, made a bold and socially frowned-upon decision for the time: artificial insemination with the help of an anonymous donor.

    Four years later, after a difficult divorce from an abusive husband and raising a son who still carries the emotional scars of that past, Penelope is doing her best to rebuild her life. Until a data breach at the fertility clinic exposes identities once promised lifelong confidentiality – and a stranger, with the same eyes as her son, appears at her doorstep.

    —•—

    “Is there something I can help you with?”

    Penelope touched her son’s head with one hand and gripped the doorknob with the other, confusion and unease tightening in her chest as she watched the man before her regard her child with quiet curiosity.

    “I… I have reason to believe I’m the biological father of your son.”

    Summary

    Colin knows the signs. Blood humming in his veins. Gut stirring with need. A temper that flares without rhyme or reason. His rut looms on the horizon, meaning it’s time to download the apps and go through the motions of mating simply to stave off biological need.

    It’s begrudging. Empty. Not at all what he wants and something that only satisfies his alpha. No, what Colin wants is a connection. Intimacy. Someone he can fall asleep beside and take to breakfast the following morning. And he is certain he won’t find that on the apps.

    But then he meets Anne, and his life is irreparably changed.

    Summary

    Colin can't quite shake the niggling feeling that something is wrong in his life. He's back in London after a month working in Australia and everything from the outside looks the same. Same Tuesday night pub gathering, same siblings, same topics of conversation that frankly hold no interest for him at all, same Penelope...

    Oh.

    AKA Colin realises that Penelope is ignoring him, and immediately begins to unravel.
