'Who turned off the lights' 'Why does my head hurt '. I grimace in pain as I try to open my eyes. At first every thing is blurry but it soon starts to clear up and - 'Wow! Is this heaven? Am I dead' I wondered as I stared in complete awe at the blonde blue -eyed angel in front of me. "Hey! You're awake" ~What! Leaving me dazed and confused, the angel rushes off calling out to something or someone, I'm not quite sure. I try to focus on the sound of her voice but the ringing in my ear coupled with the pain makes it impossible. 'Wait! I know that voice. Isn't that -' ARRRGGGHH! A mind numbing pain hits me as I begin to recall fragments of memories. My scream seems to have attracted the attention of the angel who runs back to me muttering words that I cannot hear, but it seems this time she is not alone. I feel myself slipping slowly back into unconsciousness as I take one last look at the blonde angel. "You - you saved me" I believe that it was at this moment I promised myself I would protect Esmeralda - no matter what!

The dagger through her heart should have been the end. Instead, it was a reset button. Back at eighteen with eleven years of future knowledge, Irene isn't just rebuilding her business empire-she's building a case. Every betrayal, every lie, every crime her killers will commit is now evidence waiting to be collected. But revenge is complicated when Marcus Sterling-her former rival-becomes her strongest ally and the man who makes her believe in love again.
