As your father recently passed away, you— a young lady in the bustling streets of England filled with misogyny and pity, have to find a way to make money. Refusing to work in sweat shops or cigarette factories, you stumble upon a bank with an owner who is handsome yet a pushover— Julian Vane. Your beauty and assertiveness somehow manage to stronghold you into a job, and that’s how your love story begins.
Years after a forbidden Hogwarts romance ended in heartbreak, Y/N returns to London as a fierce, free-spirited single mother. On her daughter’s first day at nursery, she unexpectedly collides with Draco Malfoy—now married, now a father, and still the only person she’s ever loved. Sparks, secrets, and old wounds flare as their lives intertwine once more. And when Draco begins to notice the familiar grey eyes of Y/N’s little girl, the past becomes impossible to ignore.
