The crash was the last thing Iris remembered. The light, the noise, and then... nothing. She should be dead. Instead, she wakes up in a world that looks like a mirror image of her own, but with one terrifying difference: 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆. Trapped in a life that isn't hers, Iris is forced to play a role she doesn't know, navigating a family she can't trust and secrets that could get her killed. But her biggest mistake? 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 for someone she shouldn't. He's a man who looks at her with equal parts suspicion and desire. They are two strangers speaking different languages of the heart, caught in a friction that finally snaps in a moment of desperate, forced passion. Iris wants to go home. But as the truth about this world begins to unspool, she has to wonder: 𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒉 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏?
