Summary
"You — you bind other people?" Penelope blurts out, forgetting herself. Then her cheeks redden. "Sir," she adds, her heart pounding.
Mr Bridgerton's brow creases and he looks down at his leg, at the rope wound about his large fingers.
"Yes, Penelope. The feeling is like none other. I am able to… well." He clears his throat and his back straightens. He has never said so many words to her all at once, Penelope realises. "The rope allows one to forget one's troubles for a few moments."
Penelope does not think before she says:
"I am yours to command, sir."
OR maid penelope suggests to her widowed master that he ties her up. for his mental health of course

Summary
Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.
"I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."
Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.
"Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"
Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"
"I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"
"Yes."

Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.

Summary
A warmth spread through her, consuming her, until even the air seemed too thick to draw into her lungs. She pressed her palms against her knees, as though to steady herself, yet her mind would not be stilled. She saw again that brief flash of his smile, the one that had undone her entirely, and her breath trembled.
What foolishness this was. What wicked foolishness. And yet… she could not summon the shame she knew she ought to feel. Her sisters often spoke of temptation as something that hunted the innocent, but Penelope could not help but feel, in that moment, that it was she who hunted it.
OR
Deemed hopeless on the marriage market and quietly sent away to a convent, Penelope spends five quiet years trying to tame her heart before taking her vows. But when a young farmer begins assisting Sister Agatha, his gentle presence awakens feelings she ought never to harbour. Try as she might, Penelope cannot banish these wicked longings, nor the dangerous hope that her life beyond the convent walls might yet be her own.

Summary
Penelope knows how many times she has shared tea with Colin. She knows the number of times they have danced, knows how many times he touched her before they were engaged, how many letters they have written, how many crystal goblets they received as wedding gifts.
She did not know he knew how many sugars she takes in her tea.
That is something for which she did not account.

Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.
