The terrace lay quiet beneath the moonlight when Seraphina felt the presence behind her. "You always leave before the room grows honest," Lord Bridgerton said. She turned slowly. "I leave before it grows foolish." He stepped closer, not touching. "Does that make me foolish?" "No," she said. "It makes you dangerous." A flicker of something unreadable crossed his face. "And yet, you stand." "You mistake stillness for surrender." His voice dropped. "I mistake nothing where you are concerned." The night held its breath. "You will not claim me with pressure," she warned. "I do not intend to," Anthony replied. "I intend to wait until you choose." Her pulse faltered. "And if I never do?" He held her gaze. "Then I will be the only man who never stopped waiting." Seraphina turned away, heart unsteady. Anthony did not follow. He did not need to.

The Victorian era was an age of renewal, development, and power. But also of repression and ill-fated living.

TWs: 18+, graphic violence (torture, etc.) mature language, sexual content, drug use ••••• Katherine Black was born to rule. To command. Order and control were the rhythm she lived by, the structure she built her world upon. She knew exactly who she was, and so did everyone else. What she inspired wasn't fear, nor was it blind admiration. It was either respect, or a nasty type of jealousy. But there was always one exception. One infuriating, impossible, red-haired exception who refused to bow to her presence. Fred Weasley. So the question becomes: what happens when the Trickster falls for the untouchable Heiress? And what happens when he realises her destiny is far too great to comprehend?

"No." I stated. "They don't exist." His emerald eyes pierced into my soul, they seemed to be dissecting me. He had his arms wrapped around my waist, each passing second his grip was getting tighter and tighter. He started to lean in, closing the gap between us. His eyes never hesitating from my lips. He inched closer and closer until I could feel his minty breath now fanning out on my face. He licked his lips before looking into my own eyes again, and with a smirk he swooped his head down. I prepared for the kiss but it never came, he came in and swiped his head to the side. Rubbing his cheek with my own, the soft stubble scratching my skin and sending shockwaves down my spine as he moved to my ear.

... He left her with a note. Some words. No explanation. I'm sorry. Please forget me. And for seven years, Avni tried. She tried to erase the boy who kissed her like forever and vanished like smoke. Tried to forget the name that once made her whole. Until tonight. Until the underground fight, the crowd's roar, and a name she hadn't heard in six years. "Ishaan!" Her world tilted. Then he stepped into the ring. With inked down his spine, bold and unashamed, was her name-Avni. He was the boy who told her to forget him. But he had carried her with him all along. ...

She's the untouchable Gryffindor Chaser, known for her skill on the Quidditch field and her sharp, no-nonsense attitude. He's the Slytherin Chaser with a reputation as smooth as his moves, and a secret admiration for her that no one-especially her-has ever noticed. From their very first match, the tension between them is undeniable. Despite their fierce competition and the deep divide between their houses, something sparks between them every time their paths cross, both on and off the field. He watches her with quiet admiration, intrigued by her strength and defiance. She can't help but feel drawn to the mysterious Slytherin, though she can't let herself acknowledge it-especially not with everything they stand for. In a world where their rivalry is everything, will they ever be able to cross the line between competition and something more? Or are the rules of their houses-and their hearts-too strong to break?
