Summary
“After years of traveling all over the world, seeing incredible things and meeting fascinating people, Colin Bridgerton took everyone by surprise when he said he was coming home and wanted to pursue teaching.
He reached out to Penelope first, asking for advice and a bit of help with the certification process. Penelope was glad to help him; her heart was warmed by Colin’s newfound passion for education, and slowly but surely, Colin was ready to apply for teaching positions. It wasn’t until he had secured a spot at Penelope’s school that she began to grow nervous.”
Childhood friends Colin and Penelope teach in classrooms across the hall from one another. Penelope, in her fourth year of teaching English, shows first-year-teacher Colin the ropes of their now shared profession. As they spend more time together throughout the term, the pair come to see one another in a new light, and the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur.

Summary
Returning from a terrible weekend, Penelope bumps into the last person she had expected to see. But when Colin confuses her for his blind date, crushed when he discovers he has been stood up, she offers to spend her day with him. As friends.
She had long given up hope that he will ever see her as anything but his sister's shadow. However, as she gets to know him better than she ever had before, meeting some old faces along the way, Penelope realises that maybe, getting over him is not as easy as she had thought.
Meanwhile, Colin is struggling with the fact that he is suddenly seeing the redhead he had known for years but never really looked twice at in a whole new light and that she may just be the answer to everything. That is, if she ever forgives him for his own stupidity.
Chaos ensues.

Summary
No one knows more about the power of words and the wounds they can create than Penelope. Still when they are the only thing she has left she wields her quill like a sword and lets her reputation fall upon it.
Meanwhile, Colin learns quickly words cannot be unsaid and they haunt you long after they are spoken. The aftermath of his declaration may have lost him not only a true friend but a future he’d only imagined once it was far too late.
