Summary
Colin and Penelope's friendship used to be easy. But eight months abroad, and a few too many unspoken truths, have left their once-effortless friendship fraying at the edges. Now that Colin’s finally home, he’s determined to pick up where they left off. What he doesn’t expect is Penelope keeping him at arm’s length.
Penelope, for her part, is doing everything she can to protect a heart that's been quietly breaking for years. Because loving Colin is one thing, surviving it is another.
Rebuilding their friendship might be harder than Colin expected, especially when he doesn’t realize he’s the reason she's pulling away

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is the smug head of Bridgerton Publishing. Penelope Featherington is the bestselling author who once called him “an overpriced bookmark in a suit.” Their public feud is legendary—fueled by sharp tweets, literary panels turned battlegrounds, and one very compromising limo incident outside the Publisher’s Book Awards.
What starts as professional rivalry turns into something a lot messier (and a lot more romantic), unfolding across live tweets, poetry books, post-it notes, and accidental proposals.
Enemies to lovers?
No.
Enemies to viral scandal to emotional chaos to “my wife, my nemesis.”
And the internet never stood a chance.Bookmarked by sugarviolence

Summary
Anthony paused briefly and gave his brother a pointed look. “If this is a matter of wetting your wick—“
“Enough!” Colin leapt from his chair and moved toward his brother. “You insult me and my intended.” He straightened to his full height, now towering over Anthony sitting at his desk. “But if that is what you truly believe, that my being green and naïveté is what has led me to fall for Miss Thompson, then escort me to one of your bloody brothels and be done with it. If ‘wetting my wick’ as you so crassly put it, brother, is what it takes for you to believe me serious, I will—however begrudgingly—accompany you.”

Colin goes to a brothel in Season 1 and makes several discoveries (about himself and others) that drastically alter the course of events

Summary
His mother was convinced he’d only moved to Notting Hill to have his own great love story. And while, yes, he may have the floppy hair and bumbling Britishness required of a Richard Curtis character, the current state of his love life (nonexistent) has Colin convinced his Hugh Grant moment is still a long way off.

Summary
Once Eloise leaves Colin's room, Penelope and Colin's proximity changes its tone; maybe it’s all in Penelope’s head, but there’s an intimacy here as she burrows into Colin’s naked chest, like it’s where she belongs. It feels like she does. It feels like he’s supposed to hold her like this, captivate her with the heat of his flesh, the depths of his breaths, and the strength of his hold. It feels a little like home, and it devastates her to think like that.
But this is what she’s missed the most. These unparalleled moments where there are no guards or boundaries or weirdness. The parts of him that make her feel the softest, when he’s affectionate with her through touch, like yes, he missed her as in her personality, but also her as in the feeling of her skin and the softness of her hair, because she’s missed those things from him, too. The quiet of his voice as he speaks only to her, the caress of his fingers when he tries to get her attention, the warmth of him when he invites her into his bed so he can hold her like this.
or; Penelope and Colin are forced to be touching at all times.
