   Summary

   Colin Bridgerton, third heir to the most powerful crime family in London, meets a mysterious redhead who saves his life in a turf score-settling, jeopardising her own safety in the process. He takes it upon himself to protect her at all costs, even when she clearly does not want nor need his protection. Penelope Featherington has never had anyone care for her before, not even her neglectful mother or indifferent sisters. Will she learn to trust this bad boy’s freely offered help when no one has ever cared whether she lived or died before he came into her life?

   This started as a Dark Colin Bridgerton Mafia AU, but quickly evolved into a badass and darker Penelope Featherington story. Tags will update over time.
