In her past life, Alicia chose love and it destroyed her. Bound by her late mother’s will to marry into the Adrian family, Alicia believed she was following her heart when she begged to marry Ethan Adrian, the charming heir. But behind his smiles lay lies... and beside him stood the person she trusted most her own stepsister. Betrayed by the two people she loved most, Alicia was drugged, humiliated, and stripped of everything. Her cries for help were met with silence. Her pleas for mercy ignored. And in her final moments, the last face she saw was the cold, unreadable gaze of General Gabriel Adrian Ethan’s powerful uncle. But fate gave her a second chance. Now reborn with every memory, Alicia is done being the victim. The will still binds her to the Adrian family but this time, she won’t be choosing Ethan. She wants Gabriel. Cold. Feared. Untouchable. He’s everything she was warned to stay away from… and exactly the kind of power she needs. This time, she won’t be fooled. This time, she’ll make them all pay. Her stepsister. Ethan. Everyone who played a part in her ruin. Love is no longer her weakness it’s her weapon. And Gabriel Adrian? He’s about to become her greatest gamble.
