"You shouldn't love me."
"I know," she said.
She did it anyway. It killed her. And somehow - that still wasn't enough to keep her away from him.
In another life, Zara Elise Veyron threw herself in front of a blade meant for the most powerful king in the land. She didn't survive. He never got to save her. And the last thing she heard before everything went dark was him saying her name like it was the only word he had left.
That was then.
Now she's twenty-four, newly moved to Calyx City, fighting underground just to pay rent - with a scar she can't explain, a dream she can't escape, and an ache in her chest that has no name. She doesn't remember any of it. She just knows something is missing and she has no idea what.
Then one night at an underground fight she unmasks her opponent - and feels it. That pull. That bone-deep, impossible feeling of I know you. Like her whole body recognizes him before her mind does.
Draven Cole Ryker. CEO. The most feared man in the city. Cold, untouchable, and looking at her like she is a ghost he has been waiting to see his entire life.
They were forbidden in the past. They are forbidden now. Her father made sure of that - a hatred for the Ryker name so deep it has roots Zara has never been allowed to see. And somewhere in this city, the enemies her father thought he escaped are already watching. Already waiting. Already moving closer.
But Zara and Draven keep finding each other anyway.
Because some people are just like that. Stubborn across lifetimes. Pulling toward each other no matter how many walls get built between them.
Will Zara remember? and when she does, will it change everything?
Will Draven be able to protect her this time, or will history repeat itself?
What is Elias hiding? and will his secrets destroy his daughter all over again?
If you died for someone once, would you do it again, knowing exactly how it ends?
