Where The Serpents Fall

At Hogwarts, Bella had always been Draco Malfoy's favorite enemy.

Since their first year, they had done nothing but bicker, challenge, and irritate one another. She was everything Draco claimed to despise-warm, kind, and unwilling to judge anyone by their blood. Yet somehow, she was also the one person who could make his carefully guarded heart falter.

Then, four months before the Yule Ball, a foolish bet was made.

Draco Malfoy had until the night of the ball to make Bella fall for him. If he succeeded, his friends would serve him for an entire year. If he failed, he would owe them a car.

It was supposed to be nothing more than a game.

But somewhere between stolen notebooks, whispered arguments, secret gifts, stolen glances, and five baskets of strawberries, Draco began to realize something terrifying.

Bella was no longer a prize to be won.

She was the girl he had fallen hopelessly in love with.

But when the truth of the bet is finally revealed at the Yule Ball, everything they built comes crashing down-and Bella is left wondering whether any of Draco's affection was ever real.

Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing about falling for a serpent...

is discovering that the serpent has fallen for you too.
