Summary
Colin Bridgerton returns home from three years’ worth of traveling to find that everything and everyone in the Ton is just the same as the way he left them. At least, that is what seems to be the case until he attends the first ball of the season at Lady Danbury’s estate and reunites with his dear friend and most consistent correspondent, Penelope Featherington. It is not long into their first dance that the rug is pulled from beneath both of their feet and everything, quite literally everything, between them changes.
--
Or, Colin is an Alpha, Penelope might not really be a Beta, and they are bonded in a way that defies logic and precedence.

Summary
“I want you to try to wrap your arms around me and drag me to the bed like he did,” she stated, firmly.
“I’m not doing that.”
“How will I figure out how to get away?”
“You can…” Colin searched for an answer, “take self defense lessons. Or get a bat to keep in here! But you’re also tiny, Pen… So that’s why it’s important that your mum knows now that he shouldn’t be here!”
“Lessons cost money, and it would be a stranger! A bat could do little if I can’t get to it, Colin,” she said his name scoldingly, “It’s great my mum knows, sure. But I need to know I can get away!”
“I’ll pay for lessons,” he offered.
“I want to do this now! Come at me,” she demanded.
“No!”
She stomped her little foot and yelled up at him, “I said, ‘now’, goddamnit!”
***OR***
After 5 years Penelope comes back into the Bridgerton’s lives, but she’s changed. The confident, feisty, young woman she’d fought hard to be is hidden under a silent, careful, compliant ruse. Can the love of the Bridgertons and some self defense lessons with Colin bring her back and undo the damage caused by her long-term ex boyfriend?

I'll Hold You, I'll Know You by SunburstsandSpearmint

Summary
Colin knows that touch has always been something he just does. Touching for touching’s sake, nothing more, for friendship, for comfort, to show affection - it's always been something he’s good at. Something he does and something he seeks out. Considering he knows this and does this, it takes him an embarrassingly long time to realize that Penelope, well, doesn’t.
Or,
Colin Bridgerton is what you might call a touchy person. And this makes Penelope Featherington’s brain short circuit with anxiety, all while trying to avoid the fact that she desperately wants to be touched.
A story in eighteen parts about how Colin and Penelope learn to hold each other, and fall in love in the process.
