    Summary

    Kate did not know what it said about her, that she could be found in the same compromising position twice in her life.

    The first time this had happened, six years ago, she had been a girl on the cusp of womanhood, too young to understand the intricacies of reputation, but old enough to know the taste of humiliation. It had been a scandal narrowly avoided only by the apathy of those who might have cared. Her father was already gone, leaving her family adrift. Her mother, hollowed out by grief, had neither the strength nor the will to intervene.

    No one had called for a duel then. No one had called for anything. Kate had patched up her pride as best she could and carried on, for there was nothing else to do.

     

    But this time, things were different.

    Summary

    James Potter, one of the youngest and most charismatic MPs in Parliament, never expected his viral baking blunder on the Great Christmas Celebrity Bake Off to land him back in the tent. But when the show’s host, Gilderoy Lockhart, falls victim to ironic food poisoning, James is asked to step in at the last minute — opposite BBC presenter Lily Evans, the sharp, no-nonsense woman he’s had a painfully obvious crush on for the past year. As filming heats up, James must face his trauma, while navigating burnt pastries, soggy bottoms, and sparks that might just turn into something real.

    Summary

    It comes in many forms, the soulmate bond. Enough that it’s impossible to name them all. And people have tried. Lily had tried herself once in her third year, but the task proved too daunting. Each one is unique in some way. There are timers, the ability to communicate with little more than a simple look, matching patronuses.

    This, though, plays into exactly why the soulmate bond is more of a curse for Lily, because her specific soulmate bond involves sharing pain. Every single instance of discomfort and pain either Lily or her soulmate feels is shared, barring death, of course. Be it physical, emotional, or mental, Lily feels it. And vice versa.
