Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts! . . . "There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you."

Everyone saw the anger in 𝐡𝐢𝐬 eyes but no one saw it burning in 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞.. --- I used to know Rafe Cameron differently. Before the rage. Before the reputation. Before he became the person everyone warned me about. He was just Sarah Cameron's older brother. Someone I grew up around. But life changed us. Somewhere along the way, I became someone I barely recognized. And Rafe became someone I no longer knew. I became a Pogue. He stayed a Kook. Two worlds that were never supposed to collide. I was taught to hate people like him. And he gave me enough reasons to. But hate becomes complicated when the person you're supposed to despise starts looking a little too familiar. The same anger. The same fire. The same pain hidden behind our eyes. Maybe we were never as different as everyone thought. But a Pogue and a Kook were never supposed to understand each other. And some things are better left hidden. --- 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: • Alcohol use

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 "What?" I ask. He brings his hand to my face. His fingertips brush my lips. "What would you do," he says, "If I kissed you right now?" "I'd probably push you away," I say, and huff out a nervous laugh.
