Amethyst Graystone was a force to be reckoned with at Hogwarts. As the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, she was brilliant, confident, and adored by her students-a perfect fit for a role many before her had failed to master. But behind her composed exterior was a history she had worked hard to bury.
Once, long ago, she had been hopelessly in love with Severus Snape, the brooding and enigmatic Potions Master. It was a love that burned brightly but never sparked in return. Eventually, she let it go, focusing instead on carving out a life for herself in the very place he had dominated for years. She had claimed his dream job, and that fact only deepened the animosity between them.
Their exchanges were curt and filled with unspoken tension. Severus resented her presence, seeing it as a threat to the order he had carefully built around himself. Amethyst, though outwardly indifferent, couldn't entirely ignore the sting of his constant disdain-some wounds had never fully healed.
But everything shifted one quiet evening when an unexpected message arrived. She had withdrawn from sight for days, and Severus, to her utter surprise, was concerned. The man who seemed to loathe her existence now needed to know if she was alright.
What began as hostility was about to unravel into something far more complicated.

OLIVIA MURPHY needs a fresh start. With her father in prison for a crime he claims he didn't commit and everyone at her old station acting like she aided and abetted, Liv can think of nothing better than getting the hell out of Philadelphia, and Los Angeles is calling her name. She's paired with an LAPD legend, Sergeant Athena Grant, a no-nonsense field sergeant who has only ever had one partner before and isn't happy to gain a mouthy twenty-eight year old as her next. She's sure Athena hates her and will do anything to get her out of her hair, even setting her up with a vulnerable widower in her new husband's firefighting station. The last thing Liv wants in L.A. is a new boyfriend to inevitably let her down, but damn, he's got a great ass- and what's a little bit of fun?
EDDIE DIAZ needs a fresher start. Only a few months after his soon-to-be ex-wife's death and his family is still reeling. Eddie and Shannon were a thing of the past; they had reconciled any bad feelings and realized their love for each other was platonic years ago, and even though he didn't love her like he thought he did, his son still lost her mother. He isn't looking to date anyone- but Athena's new partner makes his heart race, and he needs a new outlet.
When a tsunami and a lost son sets their paths on a collision course, Liv and Eddie find themselves asking- how casual can they really be?
