Draco Malfoy and Y/N have just been given their ultimate sentence: a binding, arranged marriage contract orchestrated by their elite pureblood families. Neither wants it, and both despise the lack of choice. Forced into high-stakes proximity to play the parts of the perfect betrothed couple, they start their final year at Hogwarts as bitter, resentful strangers. But as the public facade cracks, a dangerous, real attraction begins to grow behind closed doors.
