    Summary

    She’d learned that he looked the same as he did before he became a vampire, but more. More point, more presence, more.

    She’d learned he could move almost silently, clearly took no issue with near-complete darkness, and could go much longer than estimated without blood. When anemic, he looked bluish grey and when he’d had a taste of blood after starving, he thought he could flee the country.

    And she’d learned, much as she wished she hadn’t, that there was something compelling about him. That presence, that draw, that curiosity. It annoyed her as much as it fascinated her. And it was probably why she’d hadn’t stopped him yet, hovering at her neck, breathing very, deadly slowly.

    Summary

    Torture smells like spring.

    Like daffodils and tulips and snowdrops. Like the bouquets brought inside from the manor gardens to lend their life to cold stone walls that house criminals. Easter mixed with madness makes sense in this twisted landscape; Draco’s only chance at survival is to endure it. He knows this. But that doesn’t quell the twitching in his calves, the flexing in his fingers.

    Granger lifts her hand off the floor and Draco nearly loses his lunch, stomach churning as he watches her extend her arm, reaching through the translucent cord, reaching towards him. He tries to blink it away, blink blink blink, but both she and the cord are stubborn, persistent things.

    Summary

    “What do you mean you didn’t get me a ticket?”

    Ron’s hand flew to the back of his neck, massaging a red splotch just above his collar, flushing out his freckles. “I mean, I—well, it’s not like you enjoy Quidditch all that much.”

    “I went to every match you or Harry played in at school.”

    “Quidditch is my hobby, not yours.”

    Summary

    “You’re clinging to a corpse, Violet,” Draco said softly. “The Order’s dying and here you are, still bleeding in the dark for a side that doesn’t even realise you exist. How many more pieces of yourself are you willing to give before there’s nothing left?”

    “I have no other choice but to fight, Draco.”

    The wind tugged at his cloak, still draped over her shoulders. It smelt like him, clove and firewhisky.

    “You never did know when to walk away from a lost cause.” He sighed. “Not then. Not now.”

    ***

    Violet Potter couldn’t be more different from her famous brother. Scarred by cruelty at the Dursleys, she learned early that survival had a cost.

    Three years after Dumbledore’s death, the Order of the Phoenix is crumbling. To most, she’s just the potions master, hidden in Grimmauld Place. To Mad-Eye, she’s the order’s hidden weapon.

    When a mission goes wrong and she is captured, with a dragon egg in her grasp, Violet is forced into a blood bond with the Dark Watcher, Voldemort’s feared enforcer. Caught in a web of propaganda and lies, Violet must decide who she’s willing to become. She was never meant to be a hero and heroes don’t survive this war… monsters do🕷️

    Summary

    Adore promises scientifically perfect matches. You just wanted to try it for fun. You didn’t expect a 98% compatibility score with Harry Castillo, a powerful NYC financier nearly twenty years older, with sharp suits, sharp eyes, and an even sharper tongue.

    One disastrous first date ends with wine down his expensive suit. You’re certain that’s the end of it.

    Until Adore calls to say he wants a second date.

    Now you’re stuck navigating mandatory matchmaker sessions, forced dates, and a man who drives you mad, even as he slowly, infuriatingly, starts to get under your skin.
