    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is a rather popular travel influencer on Instagram and contributor to GQ magazine. He goes home for the holidays to visit his family after a particularly long stretch abroad. Somehow, he ends up going on an all-expenses paid trip to a little slice of heaven in the Caribbean with his best friend, Penelope Featherington. He’s not used to traveling with another person, but he finds himself rather looking forward to the time away with her even if he’s not sure what to expect. He expects it will all go according to plan. What could possibly go wrong when embarking on a trip with your best friend after all?

    Penelope works in a junior position at a publishing house in London, scraping her way financially through young adulthood. She’s also doing her best to get over her decade plus long infatuation with her best friend Eloise Bridgerton’s older brother Colin. Somehow, she finds herself agreeing to accompany him on a trip to Turks and Caicos after the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t know how she’ll manage it, but Penelope is determined to ensure this trip goes smoothly and that she doesn’t let her heart get ahead of her brain. She and Colin will never be together romantically. Not in a million years.

    Summary

    "How do you not see that it is precisely because I love you that I am so angry?" Colin's words come out sharp, and yet, somehow almost pleading. It is taking everything in him to not raise his voice. "Perhaps if I loved you less, it would be easier to forgive you."

    Colin Bridgerton is angry. So, very angry. And yet, there is still no one else he would rather be his wife.

    S3Pt2 compliant, "fix-it" of sorts. All the moments in between that we didn't get to see.

    Summary

    “Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.

    Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.

    Penelope was ruined.
