Chapters & Pages [A POLIN ff]
41 parts Complete MaturePenelope 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.
