"I DO" → "I DIE."
Hours after marrying her longtime crush—icy CEO Nathan Jang—heiress Vanessa Belmont is stabbed, kidnapped, and left to bleed out in a wrecked car. The final insult? Watching Nathan rescue his precious childhood sweetheart (*cough* Vanessa’s killer *cough*) instead of his actual wife. So yeah. Worst. Wedding. Night. EVER.

FATE REWINDS
Reborn six months before her murder, Vanessa upgrades her life with new rules:

* Ditch the doormat era. (Badass mode: activated.)
* Live for herself. (And okay, fine—revenge.)
* Avoid Nathan like he’s the reason she died. (Oh, wait…)

TOO BAD NATHAN 2.0 IS OBSESSED
Now he’s everywhere—lingering touches, midnight texts, and panty-melting kisses. Not to mention his hungry gaze—like she’s an all-you-can-eat buffet and he's starving.

VANESSA'S SECOND CHANCE PLAN
1. Don’t die. (Again.)
2. Don’t fall for Nathan. (Too late.)
3. Eat more carbs. (Donuts!)

As for Nathan? She’ll forgive him when hell freezes over. Or when he takes off his shirt. Whichever comes first.

{We have another SPICY (Oh so SPICY) episode with Vanessa and Nathan finally able to enjoy their actual wedding night. Woot!}

VANESSA BELMONT JANG

I should have known something was up when Nathan insisted on blindfolding me after dinner.

"Trust me," he'd said, in that infuriatingly smooth voice of his—the one that made me want to both slap him and kiss him at the same time.

I, of course, had scoffed. "If this is some weird billionaire roleplay where you're going to 'kidnap' me, I swear to God, Nathan—"

"Would you relax?" He'd laughed, sliding the silk scarf over my eyes. "It's not kidnapping if you're legally my wife."

"That's exactly what a kidnapper would say."
