Publisher's Synopsis
Sierra never expected a second chance at life. After drowning herself in the cold embrace of the ocean, she wakes up in the body of Elara Castemont, a noblewoman in a world without modern luxuries-no phones, no internet, no familiar comforts. Instead, she finds herself bound to an arranged marriage with Duke Reagan Castemont, a man as powerful as he is mysterious.
At first, survival is all she cares about. Hiding the truth of her past life, navigating the dangers of court politics, and avoiding the unwanted advances of the cruel Crown Prince, Zoren, become her new reality. But as time passes, something unexpected happens-she starts to live.
Reagan is not the cold, detached husband she feared but a man of fierce devotion, one who sees past her walls and vows to protect her. With him, Elara discovers love, safety, and a happiness she never thought she deserved. But when the ghosts of her past and the darkness of her new world threaten to pull her under once more, she must make a choice: remain haunted by the life she left behind, or embrace the one she has now.
With war looming in the kingdom, a battle for the throne, and a child on the way, Elara will learn that second chances aren't just given-they're fought for.
And this time, she refuses to let go.
(Warning, book contains vivid depictions of depression, suicidal tendencies and suicide.)
