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

Colin Bridgdon has returned to Los Angeles after having spent the last couple years as a digital nomad. Encouraged by his brothers to start networking, he goes to a meet-up for members of his college fraternity, where he runs into Fred Debling, one of the guys who graduated with Anthony. He’s surprised when Fred asks if he’d be interested in joining in a threesome with him and his live-in girlfriend. Not having hooked up with anyone since his last failed relationship, he decides this might be a good way to get back in the saddle, so to speak. But then he discovers that Debling’s girlfriend is none other than Penelope Fetherston, his sister’s best friend and the girl he secretly fantasized about for years.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton was a rising British tennis star, who disappointed in his professional debut and struggled to find his footing amongst the ATP Tour for years.
His dreams of winning Wimbledon seemed further and further away when a knee injury sidelined him during his eighth season. The only bright side was re-connecting with his sister's best friend he hadn't seen in years, who reminded him to focus on what inspired him to play from the beginning.
Penelope tried to keep her distance from Colin, remaining as guarded as possible, but relented when circumstances kept bringing them together, preparing herself for the inevitable heartbreak that would consume her when he re-joined the tour and moved on with his life.
---
“What if I can’t?” Colin asked, voicing his actual biggest fear out loud. The dark cloud looming overhead. “What if I try and give it everything I’ve got and I can’t get it back?” Shame trickled throughout his body.
Penelope paused again, not rushing her response. She spoke quietly, cradling his insecurities with her soft spoken understanding. “Then at least you’ll know for sure. And you won’t look back with regrets.”

Summary
Oftentimes, people talk about soulmates in romantic terms. And they might be right, for the most part. A soulmate is someone who speaks to your inner self—the person who sees you for who you are, not the version you pretend to be for the world.
But sometimes, the word soulmate isn’t enough. It doesn’t capture the gravity of a connection that feels like both salvation and ruin.Penelope and Colin crossed the soulmate threshold long ago. They love each other wholly, fiercely—and maybe that’s the mistake behind everything that follows.
Because soulmate-ism isn’t just a word. It’s what happens when a soul sings in perfect tune with yours, when being “each other’s person” stops being enough.
When what you want is all of them—etched, burned, and tattooed into your existence.
Or
The one where Penelope becomes a rockstar and Colin has always been so down bad for her, he goes through hell and back multiple times without her knowing. At all.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton was everything Penelope Featherington was not.
She loathed him entirely, dodging him in the gardens, forcing smiles during social events, providing scowls whenever he gave her a sideways look. Their conversations were brief and to the point, involving some sort of insult or comment that shook the other one up. It wasn’t the witty banter that often came from mere acquaintances; at least, not for Penelope.
Penelope wanted to be Colin Bridgerton.
Strong, fierce, respected.
Everything she wasn’t.
OR
Princess Penelope Featherington wants to join the rebellion with the help of her least favourite knight, Sir Colin Bridgerton.

Summary
'It’s been nearly a year since the first time they did this.
That time was rushed and frantic. Like there was a risk of someone putting a stop to it and hauling them apart. Like they would die if they didn’t have each other right then and there.
This time is the same, but different. No one is going to stop this. Certainly not her. But it is still frantic and needy. '
----
Colin and Penelope have been friends for years.
They have been friends with benefits for a year.
With life and jobs and Bridgertons getting in the way, they can’t seem to get on the same page.
As time passes with missed opportunities, Colin and Penelope need to find a way to get it right.
