Blake Carstairs isn't too thrilled to inherit the title of Duke of Devonshire from a distant uncle. Still, he returns to England from India to claim his title. However, a few months after he gets there, he receives a letter from his uncle's solicitors stating that he must marry in 30 days in order to keep the title. If not, it will be taken away from the family and Parliament may give it to whomever they please.
Emma Sheridan, an heiress, is in dire need of money. Her family has just lost everything because of her father's gambling debts, and he will be sent to debtor's prison if the debts aren't paid off in the next 30 days. Her inheritance money would pay it off, but she cannot touch her inheritance until her 23rd birthday unless she marries before then.

The Serpent's Heir By b. Rousseau Céleste Rousseau was born into power. A name whispered in the halls of the wizarding elite, she carries the legacy of one of France's oldest pure-blood dynasties - wealthy, beautiful, and dangerous. Years ago, she left Wiltshire for Beauxbatons, leaving behind her childhood partner-in-crime, Draco Malfoy, and the trouble they carved into every summer. Letters were written. Then they weren't. Now, the Dark Lord is rising, and the old alliances are calling her home. The Rousseaus and the Malfoys - bound by blood, ambition, and their devotion to the Dark Arts - have rekindled their pact. And Céleste is returning to Hogwarts, not as the girl who left, but as the Slytherin princess she was born to be. She knows Draco is there. She knows they will meet again. And she knows nothing good will come of it. But the trouble with ghosts is that they never really stay buried. Set against a backdrop of power, politics, and the slow burn of a love that should have died long ago, The Serpent's Heir is a dark, intoxicating romance for anyone who has ever loved something they knew would ruin them.Concluida
