Dirty Law by BurtonBridge04

Penelope Featherington is graduating from Oxford and after a long six years of ruthless studies (and hardly any decent sex) she finds herself at a loss with substandard men who are lacking in the 'satisfaction' requirements. However, when she gets a call regarding a new job opening that seems perfect for her, things seem to be looking up... But after a night in a swanky new club in London, she finds herself in a rather peculiar situation as the man who completely blew her mind last night is sitting opposite her in the hiring chair. Oops - that old (Sleeping with the boss but didn't know he was your boss) trope. This is a Penthony story - do not read if you do not like this ship. It is a one shot right now; however I may continue in future.

Lady Debling (Polin) by delightful_fear

Penelope has returned to London as a widow, not sure what this next phase of her life will entail. Many men are interested in this young widow, and she needs to learn to sort their intentions. Do they seek her out for her wit, her company, or a chance of love? Or a little bit of naughty fun? And why is her old friend Colin Bridgerton watching out for her so intently? *Friends to Lovers *Slow burn, some smutty scenes eventually *Canon compliant until mid-Season 3 *Alternative Universe, set five years after Season 3 **This will have about 10 short chapters. **There will be a few spicy scenes, but this story will have a lot of pining & slow burn.

magical contract by vikkikino

The story revolves around Penelope Prewett, an ambitious and independent girl with dreams of a career in magical journalism. However, her fate is tied to a magical marriage contract between her family and the influential Bridgerton family. The three Bridgerton brothers - the determined Anthony, the creative Benedict and the charismatic Colin - have different attitudes towards the situation, but each of them has feelings for Penelope that go far beyond family obligations. Amid social events, romantic intrigue and magical secrets, Penelope tries to defend her right to freedom of choice, unaware that her connection with each of the brothers awakens their internal conflicts and forces them to reconsider their own priorities. Can they find a compromise between feelings and duty, and how will their lives change when secrets from the past and present begin to unravel?

Unexpected romance / Benedict&Anthony by chxckbxss

Delilah has never truly had a good relationship with anyone. Her father had made it no secret that he did not want her and had not paid her any care, her brother had never been around, and unless you counted Lady Danbury, she would not consider she had any friends. So, how shall she cope when she is thrown into the lion's den of the ton, and attracts the attention of none other than the Bridgertons? Shall her immediate interest in Anthony lead to a happy ending, or is there an unexpected romance around the corner? Anthony Bridgerton x OC Benedict Bridgerton x OC

A Wallflower's Discoveren by enaganda

At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife. Having interviewed most of the ladies of the ton and found none deserving, his interest was piqued whilst at the Danbury Ball when he overhears his mother and sister speak of a lady in high regard; and in their comments found that this woman shares the same qualities he had been looking for in a prospect. What will happen if he finds out that the same lady in question was no other than his sister's best friend and their long time neighbor, Penelope Featherington?

Colin x Penelope (COMPLETE) by fangirlspam_234

I just finished binge watching Bridgerton and I loved it! Colin and Penelope deserved more screen time and I just finished reading the 4th Bridgerton book that is focused on them and I just wanted to see more of them. Seeing that there are not many fanfics about them I of course took the liberty of writing one my self. Set between the last chapter and epilogue of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton Rated M for mature MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW AND BOOKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

A Single Moment. by BurtonBridge04

Anthony is a single dad returning back to England after five years. He returned home with high hopes of building a new life for him and his daughter Bella. He didn't want complications... But then he meets his daughters teacher and everything changes in 'A Single Moment'. PENTHONY HEA - if you do not like this ship - do not read. Thank you.

Goodnight, Mr Bridgerton by Caesar_Flickerman

As Colin Bridgerton is falling for Penelope Featherington, Benedict is also falling for a London season debutante. But though he is one of the ton's most eligible bachelors and has girls falling over themselves to dance with him, this is not a romance that blossoms in the ballroom, but in the quieter rooms of the grand houses of the season's hosts. Clara Marlowe has enough problems without a handsome stranger finding her in her hiding spot at Lady Danbury's ball, and enough suitors to try and forget him when he doesn't call on her the next morning. But by the second ball of the season it seems she cannot move on from him so easily. Set parallel to the events of season three. Basically Benedict being a hopeless romantic for 15k words. *also posted on ao3*
