    Summary

    Nick Nelson is twenty-six and a rising semi-professional rugby player in London, admired for both his skill and his looks. But when a devastating injury pulls him off the field and into a hospital bed for months of recovery, Nick is forced to confront a world that suddenly feels very small and frighteningly quiet.

    Assigned as his primary nurse, Charlie Spring is calm, kind, and quietly observant. A young man more comfortable in hospital corridors than stadium crowds. Determined to stay professional, Charlie focuses on helping Nick heal, even as small moments of laughter, vulnerability, and shared silence begin to blur the lines between patient and caregiver.

    As Nick struggles with pressure from his distant father, the loss of his identity as an athlete, and the unexpected pull toward someone he was never supposed to fall for, Charlie must balance duty with feelings he isn’t sure he’s allowed to have.

    A slow-burn romance about healing, patience, and finding connection in the most unexpected place.

    Summary

    Hermione was never meant to rewrite the rules. Top of her class. Always prepared. Always predictable. But after one mistake and a humiliating betrayal, her certainty of who she is begins to fracture. And in the unraveling, she starts asking questions no one expects.

    Draco notices. He’s not supposed to. Not her, not like this. But the more she slips beyond the version everyone knows, the more she disrupts the carefully constructed lines he’s lived behind.

    The year begins like any other. But the ground is shifting. The rules are changing. And the game everyone thought they were playing suddenly doesn’t look the same.

    Because this isn’t a story about enemies. Or even allies.

    It’s about what happens when two people are faced with a choice: keep playing the roles they’ve always known, or risk everything for something neither of them saw coming.

    TLDR:
    Hermione wants revenge, picks up a broom, and becomes the hottest problem Draco’s ever had.

    Tension builds. Clothes come off. Draco can’t look away.

    Unfortunately for him, neither can anyone else.

    Chaos, thirst, and jersey-related disasters inevitably ensue.
