    Summary

    Colin leans over to ruffle her hair but she shoves him off, her heart ping-ponging around her ribcage. “I knew you’d figure it out on your own. I don’t know if anyone’s told you this, but you’re a pretty smart cookie, Penelope Featherington.”

    “Not that smart,” she says churlishly, to hide the way the ball of light bursts and thrums inside of her. “Eloise figured it out when she was a kid.”

    “You’re only a little bit older than I was when I came out. It’s harder when you’re bi, because you can convince yourself that the attraction you feel to the opposite gender is the real attraction. You can’t be gay, can you? Not if you still fancy girls - or boys, in your case,” he adds.

    Boy, she thinks. Just boy.

    Summary

    “I am still angry that I am not allowed to see my dearest friend.” She puts her hands on her hips, and tries to pull her face into her usual proud mask. “All for the fear that we might accidentally commit the marital act - ” she whispers the words.

    “Oh, I don’t think they are afraid it would be an accident, El,” Benedict interrupts, his eyebrows raised.

    “Benedict!” Colin scolds sharply.

    Summary

    Penelope gets the sight of a wafer thin girl with dark brown tresses tied up with pink ribbons.

    Her dress is so worn it’s partially sheer and Penelope swallows at the sight of her body.

    Summary

    It seemed everyone else was more eager than she to see her pregnant. Ofcolin’s status in the new family was precarious, and in the beginning she rashly wished to be with child quickly just to be rid of the expectation. However, as the months went on without any progress - nor any threats of punishment - she was now unsure of what she wanted. Ofcolin quite liked passing the days in quiet repose. Her next family might not be so lenient. She rather wanted to prolong her current assignment as long as possible.

    .::.

    Commander Colin is a scion of the Bridgertons, a political dynasty whose lineage can be traced back to the founders of the Republic of Gilead. Following tradition, a handmaid is bestowed upon him to help fulfill his duty. Seemingly demure and docile, Penelope is amiable enough, but scarcely occupies space in his mind. That is until one night, when he sees a spark in her eyes, a look that intrigues him, ensnares him. What they set into motion upends Colin's daily existence as he comes to realize that rather than a Venusian Eve, his handmaid is forbidden fruit incarnate. And forbidden fruit is always the sweetest.

    Summary

    There lay in Penelope a sickness, or so she had been told.

    A very specific kind that only this physician, as he called himself, could potentially be willing to alleviate for her, if there were any hope at all. At least that was what the flyer had said.

    A gentleman by the name of Mr Bridgerton had developed a technique of stimulatory effect to relieve the sufferings of women. Of sharp tongues and short tempers gone in a few months or less, within three sessions with his special apparatus.
