Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm - ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.

• exquisite prose. tense and difficult and pleading and warm and desperate and comforting in all the ways it should have been. delightfully accurate portrayal of a true enemies to lovers development. nothing rushed, nothing unearned. heartfelt and engaging. a new favorite.
• a few editing issues, primarily double words and spelling mistakes

  • As far as Affairs of the Heart go, Harry has sort of always floundered. When he's sent to Malfoy Manor to examine various Dark Artifacts Draco Malfoy has uncovered in his home, he finds that the eight years of house arrest plus another two of hermitage have softened his old rival into a pleasant, though confusing person. And that was before they accidentally got married.
