Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
When forty year old Colin meets a vibrant twenty three year old Penelope at a restaurant bar, he tries to avoid her advances, before giving in entirely.
--
When she pulls back, he mourns the loss, but then she asks, “do you want to kiss me?”
And in that moment, he remembers how young she is. He looks down into her eyes, and sees the uncertainty. The bravado, confidence, it teeters on a knife's edge, a balancing act of substantial proportions. She needs him to take over.
The first brush of their lips together sends a shiver down his spine. It’s soft, sweet, tentative, and when she moans against his mouth, something inside of him snaps. He grabs her face between his hands, holding it steady while he devours her. Their tongues become embroiled with one another, and the sounds she’s making—god—he wants to eat her alive, all of a sudden. When he feels her body pressed into his, her soft breasts rubbing against his torso, his arousal spikes. But this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s not twenty three.

Summary
Just one kiss.
The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.
It does not have to mean anything.
Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.
And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.
They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—
After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton has a lot of things going for him. He's over six feet tall, has silky, chestnut brown hair that curls naturally in a most fashionable way, and a smile that's been known to make women ages 2 to 92 swoon. Beyond the surface-level things, he's also smart and interesting and treats others with kindness and respect regardless of how he knows them and what walk of life they're from. Objectively, he's an absolute catch. Any girl would be lucky to be his, even just for one night. So, why then, at 26 years old and with all that going for him, is Colin Bridgerton still a virgin?
--
Or, the one where Penelope platonically takes her best friend Colin's virginity and helps him through his sexual awakening.

Summary
"I have needs," he blurts out, and then his face does something awful, crumbling almost, before he catches and rights it out of habit. "Fuck. That came out wrong. I don't mean—I'm not—" His hands are shaking. "I need help, Pen. And I think you might be the only person I trust enough to ask."
Colin asks. Penelope gives. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the structure starts to fail.
