Summary
Colin is a 47 year old divorcee living in London with a long list of failed relationships and his current relationship is circling the drain.
This year he was chosen to be the gala chair and host for the Bridgerton charity gala. The biggest social event in London every year.
His best mate and honorary brother James is bringing his new girl to the gala and along for a couples getaway week to the Bridgerton estate. No one is shocked more than Colin that his playboy friend is finally serious about a woman.
When he walks into the ballroom he is confused when he spots a young redhead hovering around his family's gala table. And even more confused when he shakes her hand and she is introduced as his best mate's new girl.

Summary
“You look beautiful. Don't marry him.”
“I hope you had fun today. Please be with me instead.”
So he said nothing. Instead, he took the long way, stretching the moment just to share the same air with her. It calmed him, knowing she wasn't getting married today — that for now she was with him, in his car, and he was taking care of her. That way, he could let his mind drift and imagine that she was running away with him on her wedding day, with her beautiful veil on and his leather jacket wrapped around her.
The evidence that she almost belonged to another, but ended up choosing him.
or Colin picks Penelope up from her hen party and the fact she is wearing a veil fucks him up a bit.

Summary
“Damn you, both! I would never even consider a widow, I am not looking for anything like that! It simply will not happen, not in your wildest fantasies, Benedict!”
Penelope's chest begins to ache slightly at the laughter that rings out in response, she had expected to be a topic of conversation, that was only natural. But this was almost cruel, diminishing her to only her status when they had never even laid eyes upon her. Three years spent predominantly alone has weakened her defenses, no longer needing to shrug off whichever slight or insult her family had aimed her way.
She pulls back her shoulders and reminds herself that she does not have to stay if society proves to be more of this. She will give it a chance, introduce herself to her neighbours (perhaps avoiding the men), attend any balls or soirees she could get an invitation to and simply see if she fits. Her desire for company was not so great that she was willing to suffer for it. If the Ton proved to not be for her, then Abbey Hall awaits her back in Yorkshire. The only thing her late husband truly provided for her, a secure home should the worst happen and she had not managed to produce an heir.

Summary
"Colin....." Benedict looks at Penelope as he says his brother's name, "Don't you think that's a touch too far?" Penelope gathers herself enough to look Colin in the eye. "It is okay Benedict" She says, her spine stiffening "I do not need pity or protecting from Colin's words. I assure you all, whatever tender feelings I once had for Colin have been replaced with utter disdain. "
In which the Bridgerton's find out Penelope's biggest secret, and some words are exchanged that cannot be forgotten.
