Revenge is the only thing on Tamara's mind. But when her sins are exposed, her family forces her into an arranged marriage to save their honor and pride.
On the wedding day, when she is pushed from the upper deck of a ship and dies, it seems like her plans are finally over. Or so she thinks.
Instead, Tamara awakens in the body of a 17th-century aristocratic woman-one who desperately wishes for marriage, unlike Tamara herself. With no way of knowing whether she's truly dead or trapped in another world, Tamara must navigate a strange new reality filled with fashionable balls, clandestine suitors, sensual thrills, and deadly power struggles. But the game is far from over.
In this world, the key to returning to her own life may lie in two things:
A. Fulfilling the wishes of the dead aristocrat she now inhabits.
B. Finding someone who is like a god, charming them, and securing a wish.
But all is not as it seems. Magic stirs in the air, creatures plot in the shadows, death looms closer, and chilling secrets wait around every corner, ready to snatch you up and kiss you on the mouth unawares. And some kisses-especially those from the enemy-can ruin your life.
In a world where nothing is as it seems, Tamara will have to decide: Can she resist the charms of this twisted world and this court, or will she be stuck in this world forever?
And when the final card is played, will Tamara even recognize herself?

All Is Fair In Love And War. Lord Anthony Bridgerton, the formidable head of the Bridgerton family, sets forth on a quest to secure a worthy spouse, driven solely by his unyielding duty to preserve the family's esteemed name. His pursuit of a debutante who can meet his exacting standards appears destined for failure until the arrival of the Sharma sisters from the exotic lands of India. Yet, as the Viscount endeavors to court Edwina, his heart and mind are ensnared by an unexpected distraction-the Queen Dowager of Württemberg, now globally recognized as the Queen Mother, Charlotte. Unbeknownst to Anthony, Charlotte harbors a conflicted heart; while she yearns for him to marry, she can't escape the fervent desire that it were her he chose. A lifetime of unspoken love lingers, and she regrets the moment she turned him away when he bared his feelings. As Anthony's courtship of Edwina unfolds, Kate uncovers the stark reality of his intentions-a genuine love match isn't high on his list of priorities-certainly not when she discovers of the Viscount and Queen Mother's past. Determined to shield her sister, Kate resolves to thwart the impending union. Amidst everyone's efforts, every encounter between Charlotte and Anthony draws them irresistibly closer, entwining their destinies in a complex web of emotions.

Life demanded many sacrifices from Charlotte, but none weighed as heavily as the sacrifice of her enduring love, especially for one man-a particular Viscount. Thirteen years after burying the echoes of their first love, fate orchestrates a poignant reunion between Charlotte and the Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton. What they believed to be entombed emotions rise to the surface with each encounter, proving that some feelings, no matter how deeply buried, refuse to remain silent. Love crashes onto their souls once again, defying the passage of time and stirring the embers of a connection they thought had long faded away.
