    Summary

    Nine years ago, Hermione Granger created a plan to become Minister of Magic by the time she turned 60. As part of that plan she knew she needed a husband and two children to convince the public to support her.

    She is now approaching her thirty-fourth birthday and is still single, though not for lack of trying. She's questioning her dating methodology as friends grow distant, her parents age, her fertile years are peaking, and the professional goals she created at twenty-five are starting to become harder to cling to. She knows she needs something to change, but that's easier said than done when Draco Malfoy won't leave her the fuck alone.

    As for Draco, there's nothing quite as alluring as an angry Hermione Granger, and that's why he's been teasing her for the last ten years. It's only when he comes up with his best idea yet - and gets himself assigned as her security detail for an event that absolutely does not require it - that he starts to peel back the layers and sees her for who she really is. She's more than just a beautiful witch with a fierce temper. She's flawed, lonely, and starting to burn out.

    Draco knows he can help. He just needs to her to say yes first.
