  Summary

  Colin Bridgerton has been travelling for some years, but is now returning to his family, exhausted and dejected. Different from those around him, marked out by fate he knows he must forge his own path, and has spent the time preparing.

  What can Mayfair offer him now, a romantic who can never marry? Only time will tell.

  An ABO fic, but not as you know it.
