Romance

On the night of her twenty-fourth birthday, Clara lost everything.
    A single night of betrayal bound her to the one man she swore to hate and forced her into a loveless marriage, tearing her away from the lover she believed was her destiny. Convinced her husband had ruined her life, she spent years plotting her escape, staining her hands with deceit and cruelty until she became the very villain she once despised.
    But the fairy tale she chased was nothing more than a lie.
    The man she sacrificed everything for orchestrated her downfall, using her love as a weapon before abandoning her to a gruesome death. As Clara took her final breath, she uncovered the cruelest truth of all—the only person who fought to save her was the husband she had betrayed time and time again.
    When she opens her eyes, Clara finds herself reborn on the night of their wedding.
    Determined not to repeat the mistakes of her previous life, she vows to expose the conspiracies hidden beneath smiling faces, sever ties with the man who deceived her, and make amends with the husband whose devotion she never deserved.
    Yet nothing prepares her for the biggest shock.
    The icy, expressionless man she remembered as distant and unfeeling is secretly a shameless romantic. Through an inexplicable twist of fate, Clara begins hearing his innermost thoughts—thoughts overflowing with jealousy, playful teasing, embarrassing affection, and an all-consuming love for the wife who keeps trying to push him away.
    As enemies gather in the shadows and long-buried secrets resurface, Clara must navigate a second life where appearances deceive, trust is priceless, and the man she once called her greatest enemy may be the only one willing to defy the world for her.
    This time, she won't chase an illusion.
    This time, she'll fight for the man who loved her in both lifetimes.
