He bowed slightly, eyes dark as midnight. “Marry me,” he said simply. In her first life, this had never happened. No mysterious man. No interruption. No warning. Why now?

He welcomed me. He seduced me. ​Torn between the man who stripped me of everything and the man who offers me the world, trapped between an old regret and the intoxicating pull of desire... I have finally reached the point of no return."
