At Hogwarts, six Slytherin boys reign supreme-powerful, respected, and adored. Their names carry weight far beyond the castle walls, and every girl dreams of being their last and final mate. But despite the endless attention and flings they remain unattached, waiting for the one who truly belongs to them. Adeline Victoria Chanel draws people in with her warmth, her laughter brightens quiet rooms, and her heart is open in a way few dare to be. Though she's often misunderstood and sometimes alone, those who grow close to her cherish her fiercely - even as the wider world continues to treat her difference as something strange. When the six Slytherins make the announcement they would be searching for their last soulmate, the school erupts into chaos. Adeline knew it was serious but her dreamy naiveté kept their paths from crossing at first. The boys don't realize what they have been looking for was in front of them the entire time. * Hi.

BOOK 1 IN THE BOND SERIES Eden De Vries lived in a society where, unless you had money or knew someone who has money, it was best to keep your head down. Unless you had a death wish. A simple class system full of corruption, the police, and money runs her city. The only way out was money or to be bonded to someone with money. Being bonded, which was akin to soulmates, was A load of propaganda and rubbish to a girl just trying to finish high school and survive her less-than-high society father and his druggy friends. When unfortunate circumstances lead her to meet police officer Hayden and control freak CEO Caledon North, everything changes. Apparently, she had a soulmate or two, and apparently, the law dictated that she was stuck with them. This is her 'chance' to be more than another dirty girl on the street. Too bad she's an inconvenience and quite frankly, to them, not wanted. This is a mature, slow-burn romance with multiple lovers the main character doesn't have to choose between. There is slight 'bullying' of the male protagonists to the main character. But obviously, they end up falling harder. ;)

Perfection is a performance. Feeling is the flaw in the script. Juniper has not only survived the first phase of the Marriage Process- barley- she somehow managed to be in the top three contestants meaning she has to stay. Much to the disappointment to everyone involved. Now she's expected to spend who knows how long with three bachelors who clearly want nothing to do with her-and in some cases, would rather see her disappear entirely. But as the season drags on, cracks begin to form in their carefully constructed lives. Behind every cold glare and forced smile is a story no one dares to speak aloud, especially not to the unwanted bride they are forced to spend time with. And when masks begin to slip, so do the boundaries between them. Juniper never expected to find connection. They never expected to care. But in a world built on control and illusion, can something real survive?
