Summary
“Thank you,” she whispers into the moonlight, her voice barely audible over the pounding of his own heart.
She turns to flee — and his hand darts out without his permission.
He doesn’t plan on wrapping his fingers around her wrist and pulling her right back to him.
He doesn’t plan on kissing her again.
But he does both anyway.

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.
