   Summary

   At forty, Dr Hermione Granger has built a life around knowing what everyone else is hiding. Her clients pay for the precision. Her family bears the cost.

   Her marriage to Ron has become a collection of managed silences, her daughter is slipping out from under her plans, and Hermione’s own body has become another problem to ignore. Then Pansy sends her to Severus Prince, a former rehabilitation specialist working from a shabby massage room on Seven Sisters Road.

   Hermione books ten appointments.

   What begins as treatment becomes an education in consent, desire and the difference between being understood and being known. But Severus has his own history with the Granger family, and the room where Hermione goes to surrender responsibility cannot remain separate from the life waiting outside it.
