Only Love Can Hurt Like This

Hermione Granger is already in too deep. What began as a single dangerous meeting in the Room of Requirement has become something far more complicated-an unspoken bond with a boy no one would ever trust, a boy she should have walked away from long ago. But she didn't. And now she can't.

Their secret alliance has grown into something fierce and fragile, pulling her back to him night after night as the war tightens around them. Every whispered plan, every stolen moment, every brush of his hand shifts her loyalties a little more. She knows she shouldn't feel this. She knows it could destroy her. But she can't stop.

Then the notes start appearing-warnings, threats, someone watching from the shadows.

As danger closes in, Hermione must face the truth she's been avoiding: the boy she trusts most is the one she was raised to fear, and the only thing more dangerous than their alliance is the way her heart has begun to betray her.

In a world where every choice has consequences, she must decide what she's willing to risk-and who she's willing to become-when love is the sharpest weapon of all.
