Anais Beatriz Snape Amador was never meant to exist - not in the eyes of the Ministry, the Death Eaters, or even her own mother. Born of shadow and legacy, she arrives at Hogwarts cloaked in secrecy, her name whispered in pureblood halls and feared in others. A Slytherin by birthright, a weapon by design, Anais is as brilliant as she is dangerous. Her presence is cold, commanding, and calculated - perfectly curated to hide the truth no one can ever know: she is the illegitimate daughter of Severus Snape. But everything begins to unravel during the year of the Triwizard Tournament. As chaos descends on the castle and dark magic weaves its way back into the world, Anais finds herself drawn into a storm of secrets, seduction, and betrayal. At the heart of it all is Mattheo Riddle - the darkly magnetic son of Lord Voldemort, and every bit as cursed as the name he bears. Their rivalry simmers with unspoken tension, threatening to ignite into something far more destructive. But while Mattheo ignites the fire, it's Theodore Nott who watches it burn - silent, calculating, always two steps ahead. He sees through every mask Anais wears, every lie she tells herself, and offers something Mattheo never could: control. Between them, she's caught in a game of pull and push - chaos and calm, fury and stillness. And standing beside her, always, is Lorenzo Berkshire - her oldest friend, her steady compass in a world that seems intent on tearing her apart. As whispers of war rise from the ashes of the past, Anais must choose between legacy and loyalty, vengeance and vulnerability. Because the truth is coming. The masks are slipping. And when bloodlines are weapons and love is a liability, survival means becoming more than a name. He is the son of a monster. She is the girl bred to survive one. Neither asked to be pawns in this game. This isn't a fairytale. This is Slytherin love - sharp, seductive, and bound to ruin.

What would you risk to survive... when the people you trust could destroy you? FLORENCE BROOKS ~ thought moving to New York meant freedom a chance to escape her father's abuse, chase her history degree, and finally build a life on her own terms. She was wrong. Her cousin Lucas isn't just hiding secrets - he's part of a ruthless mafia that drags Florence into a world of power, violence, and blood oaths. Every choice she makes could be deadly, every word a trap. The streets she thought were her escape become a cage, and the people who should protect her may be the ones to destroy her. Then there's ENZO ROMANO ~ Dangerous, enigmatic, and impossibly magnetic, he's the one person who sees through Florence's walls. Every glance is loaded, every word measured, and every touch sparks a fire she can't ignore. He terrifies her, but also awakens something she never thought she could feel - desire, trust, and maybe even hope. Caught between fear, loyalty, and forbidden attraction, Florence must navigate a life where survival is never guaranteed - and where love might be the most dangerous risk of all. Secrets, power, obsession, and passion collide in a world that will test her courage, her heart, and the very limits of what she's willing to sacrifice. FLORENCE AND I written by may taylor 2025
