At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry’s university program, Hayden Bramblyn is exactly what she’s always been—bright, bubbly, well-liked, and just slightly out of her depth in Advanced Potions. Professor Draco Malfoy is exactly what everyone says—cold, precise, and entirely uninterested in anything beyond academic excellence. So when Hayden starts attending his private tutoring sessions, it should be simple. Professional. Harmless. Except Hayden talks too much, smiles too easily, and doesn’t seem to realize the effect she has on him. And Draco—who has spent years mastering control—finds that with her, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to maintain it. What starts as extra help turns into something quieter. Closer. Far more dangerous. Because the line between student and professor is one that should never be crossed. And neither of them are as good at pretending as they think.
