Ethel Jane
On her wedding night, Victoria Sterling drank from a goblet of poisoned champagne, watching her sweet half-sister Penelope smile as her fiancé, Dominic Thorne, signed away her father’s multi-billion-dollar empire. Victoria died gasping for air on the cold marble floor.
Then she opened her eyes and woke up one year in the past.
Given a second chance at life, Victoria trades her timid past for sharp ambition. Stepping onto the stage of her corporate engagement gala in a dress of blood red, she does the unthinkable: she rejects Dominic live on national TV, cuts her family off, and publicly crushes the merger meant to ruin her.
To tear down the enemy completely, Victoria enters a dangerous alliance with Alexander Vance the cold, untouchable king of Vance Enterprise. He holds her father’s secret debts; she holds the mind of an executioner. Together, they turn high society into a battlefield.
Dominic wants her empire. Penelope wants her life. But this time, Victoria isn't playing defense. With Alexander at her back, she will burn down every trap set for her and take back her crown.
