Summary
Just because People has resolved herself to a lifetime of spinsterhood in the Featherington household, does not mean she needs no opportunity to occasionally escape.
She had not anticipated one such escape coming in the form of a sick Colin Bridgerton, just back from travelling and requesting her assistance at Number Five while the rest of the Bridgertons are at Aubrey Hall. Nor had she anticipated just how difficult it would be to prevent herself from getting swept back up into the orbit of the man she's always loved.
If she can ignore her heart while she takes care of him, she’ll be a far stronger woman for it.

Summary
"Saving people, hunting things - the family business." (or: the one in which the Bridgertons are hunters)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, your family hunts...these things?" Penelope clarified while she paced back and forth in the Bridgerton guest quarters, trying to wrap her head around the fact that the bloody Bridgertons - a family she loved and adored, the family of her best friend and the man she loved, for God's sake! A family Penelope followed and watched and knew - had somehow managed to keep such a miraculous, monumental, horrible secret from her for all these years.
And she had never suspected a thing.
How?
Eloise gave a sort of shrug, "Well, yes."
"And Colin - "
"Is on a hunting trip, yes," Benedict reiterated, "He should be back within a matter of days, if all went well."
"And if it didn't?"
The siblings glanced at each other, sharing a dark, worrisome look. Benedict swallowed.
"Oh," Penelope breathed, and that was just...
Well, that was just too awful to consider.

Summary
Colin would like nothing more than to teach his dearest friend the true art that could be found in a game of pall mall, although he only wished he could do so without the help of the peanut gallery and all their meaningful 'looks'. Penelope, for her part, is determined that a slight against Lady Whistledown will not go unchallenged setting her thoughts upon a most dangerous path.
Pall mall, rain, and midnight trips to the library. What could possibly go wrong?!

Summary
“It’s not as though you are in love with Penelope,” Eloise says.
She catches the tiny change in Colin's expression: a barely there wince. It takes her a moment to grasp the implications of it.
“Oh,” she whispers.
—
“It’s not as if you would actually wish for Colin to court you, so his words from last season need not signify,” Eloise says.
Penelope cringes.
“Oh,” Eloise says. Again.
—
In which Penelope resolves to keep her friendship with Colin perfectly proper, Colin attempts to truly know Penelope, and Eloise knows everything.

Summary
Penelope swears that she will make it Aubrey Hall if it kills her. The universe takes up her challenge.
Sans carriage and caught in the worst storm that has struck England in living memory, Penelope bumps into a familiar face on the road (what a mystery who could it possibly be!). Their only hope of a shelter in the storm requires a degree of... creative... application of the truth and Penelope finds herself wondering how a young lady is to comport herself when the bounds of propriety have been all but swept away.
Enter Colin, who has a suggestion or two.
