Twenty-three-year-old Isabella Contarini is the most beloved nurse in the psychiatric ward—brilliant, compassionate, and adored by both patients and staff.

What nobody knows is that they are secretly married. High school sweethearts who have been together since Isabella was fifteen and Liam was eighteen, they have built a life filled with unwavering love and devotion. While Liam appears cold and distant to the rest of the world, at home he is completely different—soft, affectionate, and hopelessly devoted to his wife. Years ago, overwhelmed by the emotional weight of medicine, Liam convinced Isabella to join his unit. Together, they became an exceptional team, saving countless lives and working with a level of trust and understanding few colleagues could ever achieve.

Draco Malfoy has spent seven years loving the same girl. From the moment he first saw Isabella Gaunt, she became the center of every future he imagined. While the rest of Hogwarts saw the wealthy, brilliant, intimidating heir to the Malfoy name, no one knew that behind the arrogance and sharp tongue was a boy hopelessly devoted to one person.

Now in their seventh year, Draco finds himself trapped between what he wants and what he fears most.
