I'm Not Kissing The Devil Twice
Taleesa has spent her life in the shadow of her younger sister, constantly striving to win the affection of a family that only adores the weak and fragile sibling. All she wishes for is an escape-someone who would love her for who she is. When a marriage proposal from the infamous Duke Clorance arrives, it feels like anything but fortune, as the duke is known for his cold heart and cruel nature. Just as she's about to accept her fate, another proposal comes, this time from the charming Marquis Reidwood, whose warmth and sweetness sweep her off her feet.
But happiness is fleeting. After their marriage, Taleesa discovers that the marquis is not the man he appeared to be. He only married her to hurt his rival, the duke, who is secretly in love with her. Trapped in a nightmare of physical and emotional abuse, her life becomes a twisted game where she is forced to maintain the facade of a happy marriage. As her hopes of bearing an heir are crushed, she faces cruelty not just from her husband, but from his family and the public.
Her life takes a darker turn when she learns her beloved sister has been having an affair with the marquis for nine years-and is now pregnant with his child. Betrayed by her own family, Taleesa is framed for adultery and sent away with nothing, and when she believes she can finally be free, she faces a cruel death from the hands of her husband.
But fate isn't done with her yet.
Taleesa wakes up the day before she accepted the marquis's proposal. This time, she vows not to kiss the devil twice. But rejecting him will put her life in danger, and with her wicked family standing in her way, escape is impossible. Her only chance lies in the hands of Duke Clorance, the very man she once feared, but who may be her only hope for survival-and love.
In a world of betrayal and heartbreak, can Taleesa rewrite her fate and find the love she deserves? Or will she fall victim to the same cruel game once again?
