Summary
The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black has a curse: loveless marriages are doomed. It is an old myth no one truly believes—until Bellatrix Lestrange’s marriage begins its spectacular collapse, dragging the Black name down with it.
To preserve their standing, the Blacks turn to their youngest daughter.
Narcissa Black has no desire to become another pureblood wife traded like property between old families. But duty leaves little room for refusal, and soon her parents arrange a courtship with Lucius Malfoy: the cold, politically feared heir to the House of Malfoy.
Lucius finds Narcissa too sheltered, too young, and far too delicate for the demands of his world.
The House of Malfoy disagrees.
It has been over a century since the Manor welcomed anyone so completely. Doors open for her. The wards bend toward her. Ancient magic stirs in her presence—and every time Lucius attempts to force tradition upon her, the Manor itself turns against him.
The House of Malfoy has chosen its Lady.
Lucius Malfoy, unfortunately, may not survive the experience.
Welcoming: The Lady of House Malfoy.

Summary
Abruptly, she becomes aware of how close they are. Of the way Jack’s arm is almost touching hers, of the way his gaze has softened into something less clinical.
“You’re staring,” Dana said.
“So are you.”
*
Neither of them meant for this to happen. That doesn’t change what it becomes.

Summary
Dana thinks all three of her girls are beautiful, in their own wonderful ways. They were adorable little girls and they've grown into gorgeous women. She's got some pretty damn good genetics to hand out, thank you very much: the three sets of proof are right there. Her oldest Sophie has darker blonde hair than her mother and it has so many gorgeous shades of honey and gold threaded through. Her middle, Caroline (though she became Carrie in college), has Benji's deep blue eyes and Dana's heart-shaped face and it makes her look like a freaking cherub in all her baby pictures. All of her daughters are beautiful and Dana would never rank them against each other, in her love or her affection or her esteem.
But in terms of individual traits, she thinks the one she likes the most is the one she's never going to acknowledge out loud. That no one ever acknowledges out loud.
She loves her youngest daughter's nose.
Dana loves Rosemary's long, sharp, aquiline nose that looks not quite like hers or Benji's.

Summary
“How are you?” he asks.
Dana looks at him. He doesn’t mean fine? hanging in there? surviving? He means the real thing.
She could tell him the truth. That every condolence card feels like a small fresh violence. That she keeps reaching for her phone to text Benji stupid little things and then remembering.
Instead, she says, “I’m upright.”
Robby’s mouth curves. “I noticed.”
*
Dana’s husband dies. In the aftermath, there are daughters to raise, shifts to work, and a colleague who refuses to let her fall apart alone.
