    Summary

    Hermione Granger is used to disappointment.

    When it comes to her love life, she’s given up hope of ever finding a meaningful connection. Seven years after the war, she finds herself trapped in a relationship she didn’t want with a wizard she can’t stand, suffocating under the weight of fame she never asked for.

    Draco Malfoy wasn’t supposed to be released from Azkaban for at least another year. After he shows up to the restaurant where Hermione just so happens to be on a date looking more handsome than she remembers, she can’t seem to get the tall blond out of her head.

    And he keeps popping up at the strangest of times.

    When a scandal she can’t avoid leads her to uproot her entire life and move to Paris, Hermione is ready for a fresh start. But what happens when the one-night stand she tried to leave behind in London comes calling?

    Chaos. Blackmail. Some light to moderate stalking.

    He says they’re meant for each other. She thinks he needs to get his head examined.

    What could go wrong?

    Summary

    For a moment, she's almost giddy. Because Draco Malfoy's been ruined by this war and he's as out of place as she is and — yes, he has scars too. He's got an even bigger one. She wonders whether one day they'll compare sizes.

    Summary

    "On a scale of one to ten, how comfortable would you say you are with me physically?" she asked.
    "Zero."
    Hermione's lips pursed in annoyance because she really should have seen that coming. How charming that the extent of his arseholery could still surprise her.

    In which Hermione is determined to find a loophole to free her from a forced marriage with Draco Malfoy. But with only two weeks until they are legally required to consummate, it would be irresponsible not to prepare for every contingency.

    Summary

    Hermione only meant to test the wards and unpack in peace.
    She did not mean for Draco Malfoy to stroll into her rooms and discover a very private, very lavender Muggle device humming on her desk.
    What follows is an “academic exercise” in mortification, negotiation, and… extracurricular study.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger survived two years in enemy hands. Or so she claims. But in a war where minds can be tampered with, survival is no guarantee of freedom. The Order watches her now, suspicion mounting as one question weighs heavier than the rest.

    They say no one escapes the Harrower whole.

    So how did she?

    ***

    “I built my heart out of ice on purpose, Granger. I needed it like that. It’s what kept me alive. How dare you set it on fire. How dare you fucking ruin me.”
