Summary
An ancient marriage pact forces Colin Atherley, newly made Duke of Austinborough, to marry Penelope Featherington—the quiet girl he once knew as a child and has long since forgotten.
To Colin, the marriage is little more than an inconvenient obligation. Within a day he leaves for London and his medical studies, abandoning his new bride at Everthorne.
But five years is a long time.
When Colin finally returns home, he expects to find the same timid girl he left behind.
Instead he finds a woman who has rebuilt his estate, earned the loyalty of the village, and learned how to live perfectly well without him.
The more Colin learns about his wife, the more unsettling a realization becomes:
Perhaps he was never the only one wounded by their marriage. And perhaps the quiet girl he overlooked has been the most extraordinary woman in his life all along.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton has a lot of things going for him. He's over six feet tall, has silky, chestnut brown hair that curls naturally in a most fashionable way, and a smile that's been known to make women ages 2 to 92 swoon. Beyond the surface-level things, he's also smart and interesting and treats others with kindness and respect regardless of how he knows them and what walk of life they're from. Objectively, he's an absolute catch. Any girl would be lucky to be his, even just for one night. So, why then, at 26 years old and with all that going for him, is Colin Bridgerton still a virgin?
--
Or, the one where Penelope platonically takes her best friend Colin's virginity and helps him through his sexual awakening.

Summary
After Colin witnesses Penelope's failures with men firsthand, he offers to help her learn how to flirt, leading to disastrous results as he finds himself questioning whether he knows anything about women at all, and wondering why watching Penelope become more successful at dating makes him want to claw his own eyes out.
--
Penelope Featherington hates clubs. As soon as she walks in the door and the scent of sweat and body odor overtakes her nostrils, along with the thumping of the base and strobe lights from the DJ booth, she immediately regrets all of her decisions that led her here tonight.
She scans the crowd, praying to find a recognizable face quickly and minimize the amount of time she has to awkwardly stand alone on the wall. She’s spent most of her life in such positions, but normally she had Eloise by her side. Someone to whisper with as they judged all of the glorious people who weren’t too scared to put themselves out there and behave as though they were the main character in their own stories. She envied them. She hated them. Since Eloise moved to Birmingham for work a few months ago, Penelope finds herself struggling to become the main character in her own life.

Summary
"It makes perfect sense!" Penelope's eyes are bright with wine and conviction. "Think about it. We know each other. We trust each other. We both agree that virginity is some arbitrary social construct, so why are we letting it bother us? Let's just—" She makes a decisive cutting motion with her hand. "—get it over with."
"Pen—"
"Colin," she sighs dramatically. "We could die tomorrow. As virgins."
"We are not going to die tomorrow."
"We could. And it will kill us."
"Well, we’d already be dead, so—"
“We could die. Tomorrow. As virgins. I don’t know if there is a fate worse than that, Colin!”
The one where a question, posed under the weight of alcohol, leads to more than either bargained for.
