The contract was signed in ink, but the real negotiation began on the wedding night. Draco Malfoy expected cold duty from his reluctant bride and found instead a woman who met his every move with the same defiant hunger he was trying to hide. They came together with the sharp precision of a duel, each touch a parry and a surrender, and when she finally broke against him—forehead pressed to his shoulder, breath a shattered whisper—he knew the Malfoy name had been secured by something far more dangerous than parchment. Afterward they lay in the dark, not touching, already lost.
The Malfoy family's head of security, a man of low birth and high ambition who has served the family for two decades. He is utterly loyal to the name, not the man, and he watches Draco's new bride with the calculating eye of a man who suspects a weakness he can exploit. He is patient, dangerous, and waiting.
