    Summary

    In the summers between school, a young Hermione Granger finds companionship in a mysterious young wizard near her family’s country home in Wiltshire. They share their troubles under the comfort of their respective anonymity until one fateful encounter destroys their fragile refuge from the real world.

    Years later, after a war that devastated Wizarding Europe, Hermione’s one wish is to pursue higher education for her Potions Mastery. Only, one clause leftover from deeply entrenched Muggle-born prejudice sends Hermione into the grueling social season with one goal in mind; to marry the least terrible eligible wizard.

    To her misfortune, a scandalous case of mistaken identity binds her future to a man who is certain to be the worst of all. Draco Malfoy; the new Duke of Wiltshire, a war hero, and the boy who broke her heart.

    Summary

    “So let me get this straight. I’m currently sitting in your mother’s waiting room because you’ve informed her that we are dating —” Hermione shuddered “— because you are tired of her trying to peacock you around —”

    “Peacock me?”

    “ — to her friends’ pureblood debutante daughters, and the only way you convinced her you were really dating someone is to say that you are having relationship problems with said person and needed to see your own mother for couples mind healing.”

    Malfoy shrugged one shoulder, his arms still crossed over his chest. “Yes.”
