When Emily opens her eyes three years in the past, she gets a second chance at the life they stole from her. This time, she won't be the obedient daughter. She won't be the understanding sister. And she won't waste another three years loving a man who never chose her. Armed with an extraordinary memory, Emily sets out to build a future of her own. Then she meets Ethan Blackwood. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. A man who has no interest in anyone. Until her. And the more Ethan notices Emily, the less willing he becomes to let her go. Updates: One chapter daily.

I used to believe love could soften even the coldest man. I was wrong. Adrian Cole married me to protect his empire, not because he wanted me. For three years, I loved a husband who barely looked at me unless it was to humiliate me, ignore me, or remind me that I would never be the woman he truly wanted. Still, I stayed. I stayed through the loneliness. Through the public embarrassment. Through the nights, he chose another woman over me. And then he destroyed the last fragile piece of my heart. On the night I lost our baby, Adrian abandoned me during a storm to run after his ex lover. While I bled and broke alone, something inside me finally died. So I disappeared. Three years later, I returned as a completely different woman. Stronger. Untouchable. Engaged to a man who gave me everything Adrian never could. But the moment Adrian sees me again, his world begins to fall apart. Now, the man who once destroyed me is desperate for another chance. Too bad some wounds don't heal. And some women never forgive.

A marriage built on power. A love never given.

"Light up my darkness," he murmured against her bare flesh. His fingers trailed up her arm, leaving a blazing fire beneath them. His lips pressed softly against her shoulder and her eyes fluttered closed, accepting his touch. "Let go and I'll take away all of the pain." She desperately wanted to free herself from the torture of the heat, of the shift, of the sadness, but she pushed his firm chest away from her. She yearned to finally fulfill her place among the divine. She desired to guide and protect the species. She wished to eliminate the Challengers. The longer she endured the pain, the more power she would attain to help her fulfill her responsibilities. To the men who watched her ascend, it looked as if she was interacting with thin air, but she knew he was there with her. She smiled softly at him, caressing his cheek.
