"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.

GRACE WITHERSTONE

Grace Witherstone didn't want to die on a Tuesday. Tuesdays were boring. Just another weekday filled with corporate drudgery, too much caffeine, takeout dinners, and watching TV until she fell asleep on the couch.

Yet here she was, on a freaking Tuesday, tied to a rusted metal chair in an abandoned warehouse. In her short silk nightgown. No slippers. Just cold concrete, damp air, and nerve-wracking terror.

Grace's face ached from being slapped repeatedly, and she focused on that pain to keep her fear in check. She felt cold to the marrow of her bones, which was 20% rainy weather and 80% stomach-churning terror.
