Checked my usual spots. No legit free ebook file from the publisher or author's site. The audiobook isn't a thing yet. You can read a sample chapter on retailers to see if you like the style before buying the full thing.
You can definitely find it online for free if you know where to look, but it's a jigsaw puzzle. The author originally posted it serially, so you might find the first 15 chapters on one site, then the next 20 on another blog after someone copied them over. It's all a bit scattered. An official, clean, single-file ebook you'll need to buy. No proper audiobook exists, which is a shame—the prose has a rhythm that would work really well spoken aloud. Honestly, the hunt for all the free pieces was more effort than the couple bucks for the official version.
There's a whole mess of confusion around this one. I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to track down a consistent way to read 'Begin Again'. It seems to have gone through a few different publication phases.
From what I've pieced together, a full ebook edition exists for purchase on major retailers like Amazon and Kobo. I bought mine there after getting fed up with hunting. But the 'online free' part of your question points to something else – there was definitely a period where substantial chunks were serialized on a platform like Wattpad or Radish before it got officially picked up. Those free chapters might still be floating around, but they're likely incomplete now.
An audiobook is trickier. I haven't found one narrated by a professional on Audible or similar. There are a few unofficial, AI-narrated versions on some sketchy free sites, but the quality is rough and it feels wrong to support that. If an official audio version is in the works, it hasn't been announced yet.
So the current landscape is: pay for the complete ebook, or dig through old serial sites for fragmented, possibly outdated free chapters.
I'm a bit wary of the 'free' versions floating around. When a story gets popular like this, it often gets scraped and reposted on ad-ridden aggregate sites with terrible formatting. The paragraph breaks get messed up, italics disappear—it ruins the flow. The author deserves the couple of dollars for the polished ebook. I checked Audible, Google Play, and Apple Books; no audiobook listing exists for 'Begin Again'. Sometimes indie authors will release audiobooks later via platforms like Spotify, but I haven't seen any announcement for this title. Your best bet for a quality experience is the official ebook. The serialized free posts are more like an extended preview at this point.
Standing in a bridal suite in an ivory gown with a reception roaring beyond the doors, the last thing she remembers is a prison floor, a half-moon, and dying.
Valerie Hart is thirty-two years old, and she has just been given back her life.
Not the life she deserved but the one that was stolen from her by Anthony Lead, the charming, calculating billionaire's son who pursued her for two years, married her in the grandest ceremony the city had ever seen, and within weeks manipulated her into signing away her entire inheritance.
What followed was three years of abuse, a false criminal charge, six years of imprisonment, and a death on a cold prison floor that she never deserved.
But she begged the universe for one more chance. And the universe said yes.
Now it is June 5th, 2024, her wedding day; the shares are still in her name, and she remembers everything.
Every lie. Every betrayal. Every person who destroyed her.
This time Valerie plays an entirely different game.
She manages Anthony's ego with surgical precision while secretly building her escape, launching a business empire, fortressing her inheritance behind legal walls he cannot see, and publicly ending the marriage in December 2024.
Then she does something nobody anticipates.
She pursues Adrian Lead, Anthony's brilliantly, quietly powerful elder brother, the man she already knows is destined to inherit everything.
What begins as strategy becomes something neither of them planned for.
As Adrian falls for the one woman always three moves ahead of every room, Valerie realizes revenge was never going to be enough.
She wants to actually live.
Justice. On her terms. In her time.

“Come back to me, Ivy,” the man whom she used to love with all her heart said.
“No, no,” Ivy shook her head and backed away from him. Her body trembled as fear consumed her whole being. He was the reason her baby was gone! He was the reason for all her suffering!
----------------------------
Ivy thought she was the luckiest woman in the world - she was married to the man of her dream.
But that was just her illusion. On the day she received her pregnancy report, she found her husband in bed with his best friend. Before she had the chance to tell him about her pregnancy, she was forced to divorce and her family was driven to bankruptcy by that one man she loved.
Since then, her life went south. She married a governor in another country whom everyone thought was a gentleman. Everyone envied her, but no one knew he was a sadist who loved to abuse her.
Five years later, the man she used to love met her by chance and begged her to come back.
But would she be able to give her heart again, when all she felt toward him was fear and hatred? Knowing that he was the sole reason her life had turned to be what it was today with endless suffering?

Loved the author's last series, so I was tracking this one from announcement. The release strategy is weird but clear if you dig. The publisher's website puts the first five chapters up for free permanently, which is more generous than usual. They seem to be using it as a funnel for their app, where you can read more with daily ad-based 'keys' or a subscription. I read the free chapters there, then switched to the app because the mobile formatting is better for my commute.
What's frustrating is the serialization pace. It updates weekly, but the free chapters on the web lag behind the app's subscription tier by a good month. So if you're following discussions, you're always a bit behind. I've found that some library digital services, like Hoopla, have licensed the completed volumes, but they're only up to volume two. It's a patchwork, but it exists legally. You just have to be okay with a slower, fragmented read unless you pay.
Finding a specific title like that is a rabbit hole I've gone down plenty of times. So first off, 'Begin Again' is a pretty common title phrase—you need to be certain about the author. Max Lucado wrote one, but there's also fanfiction and webnovels with that name. Confirming you've got the right one is step one, otherwise you'll waste hours.
My method is pretty systematic: start with legal free-tier options. Check if it's on Wattpad or Royal Road with creator permissions. Hit up OverDrive with your library card; my county's digital library has a surprisingly deep catalog. Sometimes publishers give away full copies for a limited promo. If those fail, a targeted Google search with the author's name and 'read online free' might surface a legitimate author or publisher-sanctioned page. The frustration usually sets in when a story is serialized across multiple platforms, and you're piecing together chapters from different archives.
Man, it's funny how many sites treat that first chapter like it's this big secret. I swear, I wanted to check out 'Begin Again' just last week after seeing the cover on a bestseller list, and I must've clicked through a dozen places. The author's own website actually had the cleanest look for a preview. The whole first chapter was right there, formatted for the web, no pop-ups asking for an email—which honestly shocked me. I've started to just assume the writer's site or their publisher's page is a dead-end, but I guess some are finally getting that you gotta give readers a taste to get them hooked.
That said, the official storefront on the big retailer's site (you know the one) also had the 'Look Inside' feature enabled, which is basically the same few chapters. The annoying part is sometimes it's only on the desktop site and the app doesn't show it, or vice-versa, so you gotta check both. I landed up reading the preview there too, just to see if the formatting was any different, and it was fine. I wish more novels would do this; it saves me from buying something only to find the prose style grates on me by page three.
