♡ ݁ 𓈒 ˚ ₊ BOOK 1 of the Capes and Conflict Series !
﹒𝜗℘ WHAT happens when a chirpy, overqualified young woman moves to Gotham, hoping for a fresh start, and seems to meet every possible obstacle?
﹒𝜗℘ Penelope Jennings has gone through the worst of it, her dad has died, her sisters have sold the house he and her lived in, and she can't afford to be a freelance writer because she has even more bills to pay. In her dad's will, she was left a home in Gotham - and decides to uproot her life and leave.
﹒𝜗℘ Getting a job as a Personal Assistant to Gotham's notorious billionaire Bruce Wayne wasn't in the cards - but it paid well and had a good scheme to get her through till she gets an eventual book deal. He is annoyingly closed off, secretive and strangely spontaneous. But, if following him around like a shadow when he picked up girls, bought out places or was up to some strange secretive projects meant she'd keep that hefty paycheck. I guess she couldn't give it up.
﹒𝜗℘ But the longer the two spend time together - the more they seem to drift towards each other. Yet, the sheer amount of secrets that Bruce keeps, and the stress Penelope is constantly under keeps them both from progressing any further....
