    Summary

    At seventeen, Hermione Granger receives a gift that changes everything.
    When Remus Lupin presents her with a rare first edition for her birthday, neither of them expects the bond that snaps into place at eight forty-two exactly. He knows. She knows he knows. And the fact that he's pretending otherwise? That might be the most infuriating part.
    With a war raging, a fiancée who deserves better, and a mate bond neither of them asked for while the world burns around them. Remus and Hermione must navigate the impossible: a connection that defies logic, morality, and timing. Because the wolf doesn't care about age gaps or propriety, and Hermione Granger has never been one to ignore the truth, no matter how inconvenient.

    Slow burn. Mate bonds. Pack dynamics. Messy choices and messier consequences.
