    Summary

    In her fourth year teaching kindergarten, Miss Penelope Featherington thinks she’s seen it all—identical twins who wore matching outfits every day and were impossible to tell apart, a little boy who only talked about himself in the third person, a girl who managed to find a pair of scissors in the cafeteria and cut essentially all her hair off… This year, though, Chloe Bridgerton catches her by surprise. She’s never met a child who so immediately captured her heart. Chloe’s not the only Bridgerton pulling on her heartstrings either. Her “easy on the eyes,” charming father Colin captures her attention in an entirely different way. She’s never had a hard time remaining professional with her students’ parents in the past, but this man might just test every rule and guideline she tries to live her life by—both within the walls of her classroom and outside it too. To make matters more complicated, sweet little Chloe seems determined to become a successful matchmaker on her very first try.

    --

    Or, the one where Pen is a kindergarten teacher, Colin is a single Dad, and they fall in love in part thanks to the meddling of a very special little girl.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is stuck. Her job’s a mess, her dating life’s a bigger mess, and her best friend just dragged her to a remote eco-retreat slash research outpost on an island where the WiFi is nonexistent, the seaweed-infused drinks flow freely, and everybody seems to ignore the warning signs for the neighborhood great white sharks.

    The plan: meditate, journal, maybe find herself. The complication: Colin Bridgerton--yes, the same Colin Bridgerton who inexplicably ghosted her for a year--is also on the island, giving presentations and giving scuba lessons.

    Still, as dive lessons replace meditation sessions and sea creatures prove less terrifying than unresolved feelings, Penelope starts to wonder if this trip might be more about rediscovery than escape. And maybe, just maybe, the tides are finally turning in her favor.

    Summary

    Penelope needs to take an emotional leap in order to heal.

    Enter Colin, who will always believe she's worth catching.

     

    CW: Please pay attention to the tags on this story, which is rooted in non-graphic but strongly implied/referenced past emotional/sexual abuse (and physical added to that warning out of an abundance of caution) from Penelope's past partner. It IS a story of love and comfort, and a Colin & Penelope HEA. I promise you I've got them, but if these are topics that trigger you, use caution or opt out.

    Summary

    When her friend Genevieve suggested she... explore other options to finally end her sexual drought, Penelope only laughed at the idea. Later that night, however, she could not help but check out the cam site her friend had recommended.

    Deciding she did not really have much to lose, she finally made an account and started scrolling through the page. What she saw was truly eye-opening, if not somewhat scarring.

    She had almost given up for the day when she found him...

    He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life and just the sight of him had her dripping wet. As soon as she entered a private chat and heard his voice for the very first time, Penelope knew she was done for.
