Celeste Everhart (18) never imagined she would get a second chance to relive her life. From being a little girl who couldn't speak, to an unwanted heiress sacrificed to the seemingly respectable yet cruel Brightwells, Celeste's sorrow runs deep.
Given this fresh start, Celeste believed she knew exactly what she would do differently. However, she was mistaken. As she navigates these familiar circumstances, she uncovers more of the story than she anticipated. Especially now that she has returned as a different person, three very distinct men have entered her life.
First, there is Avond Brightwell (28), her true love from the past—the man who made her speak again. But what if everything she knew about him was a lie? What if the sweet, loving, and caring man she adored was something else entirely? And most importantly, what is his connection to her older sister?
Second, there is Tiel Brightwell (22), who once mocked her disability and caused her pain—the father of her only child. The man who taught her the meaning of tears. Celeste never thought he could be capable of tenderness and care. Could this be the man she had married? What happened to him that turned him into this person? If he tries to win her heart, can she forgive him for his past actions?
And third, there is Gen Callisto (23), a self-made millionaire known only through her sister’s stories, with a tragic future ahead. Celeste never thought Gen could hold a place in her heart. But can she save him from the despair that looms over him? Can she keep him close yet distant enough to pursue the man she desires? Or will Gen turn out to be the one she was meant to be with?
In the end, will Celeste choose vengeance, or is it simply not in her nature?
