Over My Dead Body

Zarina was no one special. A twenty-four year old woman scraping by in the slums, living each day with calloused hands, a sharp tongue, and a soul too tired for dreams. But one rainy night in a dark alley, her life ended abruptly under the crushing force of a large, metallic object being swung at her.

Or so she thought.

Because when she opened her eyes again, she was no longer Zarina the pauper...
She was Lady Zarabeth, the infamous villainess of a romance novel she had flipped through days before her death.

And in this new life, she's no longer powerless. She has wealth, a title, and a future laid out for her... if only that future didn't end in death by public execution.

But not this time.

Over her dead body.

Caught between a cold-hearted duke who seems to loathe her and a charming young man who keeps crossing lines, Zarina is determined to defy the script written for her. Even if it means tearing the whole story apart.

After all, if fate wants her dead again...
It'll have to try harder.
