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.

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! <3Complete

Penelope Eliza-Marie McDouglson was just a normal 12-year old girl. She loved to read dictionaries and encyclopedias, write letters to deceased heroes , play Barbies with her dog Sherlock and watch the news- "strictly the political side, everything else is garbage". Yep, Penny was a normal girl on the outside but on the inside she was a walking Encyclopedia. Penelope lives in Camden, Maine with her pregnant mother and drama-filled siblings. When problems start to tear apart the dear family, she tries to embark on an adventure in order to fix the past and make the future a brighter place. It's not an easy journey- it's never easy in the movies so why would it be easy in a book? *P.S. I don't own any of the songs or pictures used in this story except for the cover cause I made that ... ish*Complete
