    Summary

    “In retrospect, Penelope shouldn’t have been that surprised at Colin Bridgerton propositioning her. She just wishes she hadn’t been wearing a stained sweatshirt and musty, third-day-worn leggings when he did.”

    Last summer, Penelope’s family was cast out of upper class society after her cousin disappeared into the night with half the town’s money. Coupled with an explosive fallout with Eloise, Pen is sure she’s doomed to rot away in a dilapidating manor. Her luck turns around when Colin returns from his latest jaunt abroad. He makes Pen an offer: pose as his companion for the summer and he’ll help restore her family’s reputation, all while paying her way for dinners, dances, dresses and more. It’s harmless fun for the summer, free from expectations and attachments. But when their transactional relationship starts to skirt something more, her secrets and his skeletons threaten to tear the two apart for good.

    Summary

    “Oh.” Eloise sat back and raised a hand to her mouth, considering. “That is a neat solution. If you two were married, then our troubles would no longer plague us.”

    “Pardon?” Penelope said, heartbeat thudding in her ears.

    “Excuse me?” Colin said at the very same moment.

    Despite knowing that this is an awful idea, Penelope agrees to a marriage of convenience. She settles into an idyllic house in the countryside to await letters from her husband travelling abroad.

    Time will tell whether the marriage proves truly convenient—or something more than any of them could have anticipated.

    Summary

    "I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.

    "Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.

    It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.

    "Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.

    "No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

    Summary

    “This is not happening Colin. I am not going to play any part in this, do you hear me?”

    “Of course, nobody would expect you to fall over at my feet, especially in light of my unforgivably rude comments last Season.” Colin said, all reason and calm as he collected his hat from a footman, “And what would be the entertainment in that? You must be permitted to test my mettle as a suitor. Indeed I am beginning to look forward to the chase.”

    “There will be no entertainment! No chase!” Penelope protested, panic steadily rising within her. “Colin-”

    “Good day, Miss Penelope.” Colin smiled, familiar laughter and devilry dancing on his handsome face. She watched in mute outrage as he tipped his hat to her and strolled out her front door.

    After his careless words ruined Penelope's prospects on the marriage mart, Colin is determined to do everything he can to restore her reputation and to find her a good match, even if it means pretending to court his best friend.

    However, outside forces with a grudge against the Bridgertons inadvertently transforms a wallflower into the most coveted prize of the London Season of 1815.

    Summary

    He knows he likes sitting side-by-side with Meng Yao, though. He likes the scratch of pen on paper, the feeling of a meal well-prepared, and the scent of smoke that wafts from Meng Yao’s hair.

     

    “Meng Yao,” he says, still a little amazed he can just reach out and touch his attendant’s cheek like this. “Would you care for rest?”

    Bruce does not remember anything leading up to this moment. He does not remember teaming up with Superman recently, nor does he remember being anywhere but Gotham proper.

    He does remember having Robin at his side. Robin, it turns out, is not there any longer.

    Summary

    Yin Yu is convinced all of the Heavens would laugh if someone would dare to suggest Crimson Rain Sought Flower to be gentle in anything. Black Water Sinking Ships, He Xuan, is so much more like a Devastation, like the rolling, furious ocean of his name.

    But there is no space for hostility or insults, when their bodies are pressed close together and their breaths mingle into one.

    Summary

    He opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out, and Mu Qing begins stroking a hand down his back.

    “Speechless already? That isn’t like you, Your Highness. What will the effect be when the both of us are…” His words intentionally trail off.

    Xie Lian swallows.

    Feng Xin dips his head and presses a chaste kiss to his chin then murmurs, “Ignore him; I always do. But, Your Highness, if you’d like, we can… continue?”

    Xie Lian had been so lost in these new touches that he’d nearly forgotten there was more to this event. He sucks in a sharp breath and glances up at Feng Xin. His eyes are warm and dark, but the thirst is undeniable. If he were to turn around, he’s certain it would be easy enough to spot in Mu Qing as well. Certainly, it’s also present in him—in the very pit of his stomach, slowly unfurling its fingers to squeeze at his lungs.

    “Yes. I want it,” he whimpers.
