An American witch transfers to the British Ministry of Magic for a fresh start after the war—but one reckless night with a stranger at a London pub turns into a complication she never saw coming. The next morning, she discovers that the man she couldn’t forget is none other than her new boss, Draco Malfoy.
Years after the war, Draco Malfoy has disappeared behind the gates of Malfoy Manor—bitter, reclusive, and determined to remain alone. Until an ancient magical contract binds him to Y/N. Kind, patient, and stubbornly unafraid of the man everyone else has learned to avoid, Y/N refuses to let their arranged marriage become a life sentence of cold corridors and even colder silences. As they slowly bring warmth back into the forgotten halls of Malfoy Manor, Y/N begins to discover the wounded man hidden beneath Draco's carefully constructed walls. But some curses aren't broken with magic. Some require trust. And loving Draco Malfoy may be the most dangerous kind of magic of all. A slow-burn, arranged-marriage Beauty and the Beast retelling about guilt, healing, and choosing love when obligation is no longer enough.
