   Summary

   Colin Bridgerton - a traveller to the general world, but a private detective to the trusted few - is dragged back into a life he’d left behind when he’s asked to go undercover as a teacher to keep an eye on a colleague, Penelope Featherington, who is in apparent danger. She happens to be the best friend he hadn't spoken to in five years because she got married. She also happens to loathe him for walking out of her life the way he did.

   Second chances rarely come by, but when they do, it is because the time wasn't right the first time. Colin Bridgerton is determined to not let this one slip by.

   Aka a modern day slow-burn Polin AU no one asked for.
