Back again by popular demand. I have fixed grammar issues, and adjusted little bits (the story has not changed) Also - bonus extra scene at the end! "Thank you for the dance sweetheart." He broke away and she could still feel his lingered touch on her waist... What was this feeling? What on earth just fucking happened? Penelope Featherington did not fancy Michael Stirling. She couldn't. Could she? Colin's wedding broke her heart, could she find solace in the last place she ever expected? Pre-Warning. This is a Penelope/Michael HEA. - - - - - Updates will come once every few days! I have done Polin, Penthony, now I've decided to try Michael & Penelope.

(This is my first of two, my next will focus on Benedict & Penelope (Regency)) Thanks :) xo

Chapters & Pages [A POLIN ff] by DramaFeverG1

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.

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.

The Second Born Bridgerton // Benedict Bridgerton by chxckbxss

"𝑰 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑰 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒊𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖." Peaches is a Featherington, and like her brash and horribly dressed sisters, she is to be thrown to the lions of the ton for this season's marriage market. She does not wish to find love or romance or to marry. So she is shocked when she finds she cannot resist no other than the second born Bridgerton. Benedict x OC Completed! 50,000 words Best ratings: #1 in Bridgerton, #1 in BenedictBridgerton Hope you enjoy 💗 Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books! It's my first fic and I've made some mistakes but please stick with me! <3
