Taylor Carlyle is quiet, well-mannered, and very focused on her studies. She's not a "stuck up, pureblood prick" like most of the Slytherins, nor does she go out of her way to get noticed. Still, she's more than just a pretty face- which becomes clear to Draco Malfoy soon after the two become enemies in their second year at Hogwarts. When their hate relationship turns to forbidden love, Taylor finds herself struggling not only with her feelings for Draco, but with a series of strange happenings that all seem to tie into the secrecy of her friend, Beth. Just how special is the love of the young witch and wizard? And what is Taylor's real story? "But Taylor, you know you can't hide from love forever." "We have to show each other that we want to be together." "Whoever gets the first checkmate wins the game. As for me, I'm the best player on the board." ~Draco Malfoy love story~
