    Summary

    "You might — you might pretend to court me," she says.

    "You — what?" he asks dumbly. He feels dizzy, his mind working slowly as if he is wading through the lake.

    "Just for a few weeks," she explains quickly. "Just to give me — room to breathe. Keep the alphas at bay for a short while."

    She blinks up at him , so pretty and plump, her skin shining like polished porcelain in the moonlight. She has the loveliest little flush upon her chest now, blooming in pink patches that he cannot help but imagine beneath his lips.

    "I shall pretend to court you," Colin repeats slowly, his eyes tracing over the tops of her breasts, his jaw working helplessly. "And you shall let me — let me bite?" He cannot believe the words dropping from his tongue. "Let me — let me play alpha?" There is a sort of ringing in his ears.

    Penelope's eyes go very round then, her breaths coming out quick.

    She nods.

    Summary

    For the better part of the last decade, Colin has been relentlessly travelling but he's returned home to spend time with his family and to support his recently widowed sister, Francesca. Amidst grief and tense family gatherings, she turns to him for a distraction, nudging him towards an old flame.

    Enter Penelope Featherington, once his dearest friend— the one he left behind with two rings in her pocket. Colin’s wish to start over evolves into an accidental plan to ease Francesca’s worries as they pretend to have rekindled their connection. To his surprise, the act brings his family closer than they’ve been in years.

    But Penelope has a secret—and a family—of her own.

    Or. A modern exes to lovers AU, with a side of fake relationship, among other things.

    Summary

    “Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.

    “Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.

    “Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.

    It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.

    With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

    Summary

    “I am going to make this right, Pen, because I was made to be your husband… and I cannot live in a world where I am not.”

    Now he is stuck in a race against time, floundering in a world he does not recognise, determined to get back to the life and love he has lost.
