    Summary

    Pen sends a risky text to Colin even though they're at a family gathering. Even though they're not together. Even though they have never, EVER done anything of the sort before. But it's just a joke, so it's probably fine, right? Right???

    Summary

    It's not the first time Colin has woken up with a dry mouth, an achy body and a severe case of ‘what the hell did I do last night?’ but it is definitely the first time he has woken up here.

    What’s happening…?

    What is this place…?

    Is that Penelope he can hear…?

    His panic and confusion melt away at the sound of her voice and he feels a sense of relief. Penelope is close, she’s here… she’s… very close, actually… very, very close.

    Wait… Is she…? Is he…? Could he be…?

    Inside her?

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is an expert at being invisible. Deep in the throes of her PhD research, away from friends and family in a small Aberdeen attic, she has perfected the act of hiding her struggles from everyone. When a trip to London confirms her worst fears, she retreats to her cosy sanctuary, ready to let the world forget her entirely.
    But someone was paying closer attention than she realised.
    While everyone else accepted her polite texts and vague excuses, Colin Bridgerton noticed. Haunted by a moment of thoughtless betrayal and a sudden, terrifying need to bridge the distance between them, he follows her into the cold Scottish rain to join her under the rafters of her tiny attic.

    When Penelope Featherington arrived at Rosemere Hall as a governess, she didn't expect that she'd get any attention from its cold, widowed master. But the Earl of Hawthorne has always gotten what he wants, and soon Penelope finds herself trapped in a dangerous arrangement that blurs the line between punishment and desire.

    Beneath his ruthless control lies a man shaped by neglect and impossible expectations. He is a self-proclaimed beast, and Penelope may be the only person capable of seeing him for what he truly is.
