    Summary

    Christmas Eve 1947. London rests in the soft post-blackout glow, and war correspondent Colin Bridgerton is certain he’s already missed his chance with Penelope Featherington.

    Then, in a Bloomsbury tree lot, he finds her again—reshaped by the war but the same old Pen, the dear friend he grew up with. Over the course of a single Christmas Eve spent together, misunderstandings unravel, old hopes spark back to life, and a quiet nudge from his father’s memory reminds him that some chances aren’t lost after all.

    OR

    Post WW2 Polin find love at Christmas, with some unlikely help from Edmund Bridgerton.

    Summary

    "And then he looked at the baby. Her small face turned to see Colin, little mouth lit in a smile. She had a head of thick brown hair, chestnut and wavy. Her eyes were wide and round and blue, and for a moment Colin thought he was staring in the looking glass. His mouth dropped. Air disappeared. The blood in his ears roared. All he saw was the child with his likeness, and she was quickly fading from his vision. Desperately, he searched for the faces of the other two in the room, both of them suddenly concerned. Vaguely, he heard one of them say his name, but it sounded far away, like an echo."

    In 1816, a terrible argument leads to painful and rash decisions. Years later, in 1835, Lady Penelope Debling's daughter, Agatha debuts in society. Rumors about her swirl through the ton, and a girl who has always felt out of place begins to question everything about where she comes from. And her questions only grow when a once popular bachelor returns to society, one who bears a remarkable resemblance to Agatha herself.

    Summary

    Eloise Bridgerton believes in love the same way she believes in God. Perhaps He exists, but she doubts He will meet her. Either God or some smitten man, patient enough for her to thaw in his embrace. If she is honest, she does not believe she wants to meet Him.

    Or Eloise watches as Penelope takes communion.

    Summary

    New York Times Bestselling author Colin Bridgerton is in the midst of a flop. The sales for his second romance novel are abysmal, the online reviews are even worse, and someone out there is writing fanfics of his work that far outshine the original.

    There’s only one person who can help him fix this. The only problem? He hasn’t spoken to her in seven years.
