Penelope Fetherington had always thought of herself as a romantic, but the reality of her dating life never quite matched up to the fairy tales she read about as a child. At 29, she had enough experience with relationships to know that none of them had quite clicked in the way she imagined they would. The most recent one, with Alfred, had ended amicably, but it wasn't hard to see that she had never felt the spark of true connection with him. Her mother, Portia, on the other hand, had very definite ideas about what Penelope needed. The woman was a walking matchmaking service, and every time they spoke, there was a new man for Penelope to meet. Penelope, despite being grateful for her mother's concern, found herself getting increasingly frustrated. Now, with Christmas approaching, Penelope knew there would be even more pressure. Christmas dinners at the Fetherington estate were notoriously family-centric, and this year, Portia would surely have a new list of men to present her daughter with. Penelope had had enough. A plan began to form in her mind-she will ask one of his friends to be her fake boyfriend for the holidays so she can get her mother off her back.

Penelope Featherington has been good friends with the Bridgertons since she was a teenager. She met Eloise Bridgerton in high school and they were like sisters; as a result of their strong relationship, she got close to the entire Bridgerton family. She became a close friend of Colin, Eloise's brother, and their shared passion for writing bonded them. Colin was a successful writer for a travel magazine, and his position required him to travel much. Penelope was a successful writer who worked in the film industry, developing stories for television shows in general. She was always welcomed to travel everywhere with the Bridgertons and treated like a member of the family. When the Bridgertons prepare a family vacation to Italy, Penelope accepts their invitation to accompany the entire family, unaware that the experience will completely transform her life.

Prólogo A veces, el amor comienza de la forma más silenciosa. Con un deseo escrito en un papel que nunca debió ser leído. Con una esperanza guardada tan hondo que parece imposible que florezca. Penélope Featherington no sabía que aquella Navidad cambiaría su vida. Que un gesto pequeño, casi infantil, abriría el camino hacia un futuro que aún no se atrevía a imaginar. Pero algunos destinos no necesitan ser anunciados. Se reconocen. Y cuando dos corazones se eligen incluso antes de saberlo, el tiempo solo hace lo inevitable: unirlos.

Es el inicio de una transformación no solo física sino también emocional para él, un joven alegre, activo y muy observador, que ahora se ve en el centro de una tragedia social y familiar.

Agatha Bridgerton has one heartfelt wish for her 16th birthday: to reunite her separated parents, Penelope and Colin. She asks for a family holiday, secretly planning to reignite the spark they once shared, because truth be told, she's had enough of the separation. She, and the universe, pull every trick in the book to remind her parents of their love. But as schemes unfold, she discovers that rekindling their romance isn't as simple and easy as she hoped-old wounds resurface, emotions flare up and she begins to question if love alone can mend her family. Will Agatha's role as cupid make a difference, or will she have to accept that some things may be beyond her control?

Colin Bridgerton has spent years searching for a place to belong, always moving, never settling. Meanwhile, Penelope Featherington found her purpose in raising Elliott, her five-year-old son. But when Colin returns to London-unaware he's a father-it seems that fate has brought them back into each other's lives. Will this be the reason he finally stays?

Penelope Featherington, a Journalism senior, lands her dream internship at a prestigious publishing house in New York City-only to discover her boss is none other than Colin Bridgerton, her infuriating childhood neighbor, her best friend's brother, and her older brother's best mate. Talk about complicated. She's never been fond of him, and he hasn't exactly gone out of his way to be friendly either. But here's the thing about love and hate: they aren't opposites. Sometimes, the deeper the hatred, the stronger the love that might have been there once-or could still be. Hate, often born from pain, carves a deep emotional scar. But when it fades, it leaves room for something greater. Forgiveness and understanding can turn that bitterness into something unexpected, even overwhelming. As Penelope and Colin work side by side, late nights and tight deadlines bring their old tensions-and something more-to the surface. Can they manage their shared history and professional friction? Or will their undeniable chemistry turn this enemies-to-lovers story into an unexpected romance? [NOTES: In this ff, Colin is the eldest Bridgerton sibling, with three younger sisters: Eloise, Fran and Hyacinth. In the Featherington fam, Archie and Penelope are Portia's children.
