    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is a rather popular travel influencer on Instagram and contributor to GQ magazine. He goes home for the holidays to visit his family after a particularly long stretch abroad. Somehow, he ends up going on an all-expenses paid trip to a little slice of heaven in the Caribbean with his best friend, Penelope Featherington. He’s not used to traveling with another person, but he finds himself rather looking forward to the time away with her even if he’s not sure what to expect. He expects it will all go according to plan. What could possibly go wrong when embarking on a trip with your best friend after all?

    Penelope works in a junior position at a publishing house in London, scraping her way financially through young adulthood. She’s also doing her best to get over her decade plus long infatuation with her best friend Eloise Bridgerton’s older brother Colin. Somehow, she finds herself agreeing to accompany him on a trip to Turks and Caicos after the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t know how she’ll manage it, but Penelope is determined to ensure this trip goes smoothly and that she doesn’t let her heart get ahead of her brain. She and Colin will never be together romantically. Not in a million years.

    Summary

    In this modern AU, Colin returns home after an extensive journey abroad. He's been exploring the world and documenting his adventures as a travel blogger, often accompanied by his new girlfriend. His travels have kept him busy, but they've also allowed him to avoid facing his past, especially the unresolved tension with Penelope.

    Penelope, now a successful editor in a prestigious publishing house, is working on her first book. Despite her professional success, she can't escape the shadow of her last encounter with Colin.

    Colin finds himself face-to-face with Penelope at a family gathering. As they attempt to navigate this new normal, old feelings and unresolved emotions begin to resurface. Both struggle with their lingering affection for one another while grappling with their current realities. Colin is torn between his current relationship and the undeniable connection he still feels with Penelope, while Penelope must confront the emotions she thought she'd buried.

    Will they find a way to reconcile and rekindle their relationship, or will they remain separated by the walls they've built around their hearts?
